Fighting Fire
Narcogen has had a chance to take Halo 3: ODST’s Firefight mode for a spin – and he has some bones to pick. Go read his critique, and see how much of it you agree with!(Louis Wu 13:38:24 UTC)

Division Zero – First Trailer
Zee-V70 stopped in to announce a trailer for ‘Division Zero’, a machinima he’s building with tie-ins to the Reclaimerverse (that’s the universe created by TTL Demag0gue and his “Reclaimer” comic). Check it out!(Louis Wu 13:37:37 UTC)

When Good Isn’t Good Enough
Minime637 pointed out an article over at IGN – a hardcore Halo fan discusses why, in his opinion, Halo 3: ODST doesn’t deserve the ‘Game of the Year’ title. Agree or not, the article is well-written; give it a look! (There’s a pretty lively discussion going on in our forum, as well.)(Louis Wu 13:36:56 UTC)

Games make you more powerful
hnc pointed out an academic article that looks at how our processing speed increases as we play video games (Halo gets a direct mention). It was published in Current Directions in Psychological Science (if you have a subscription, the article can be downloaded here), but it’s also available on the author’s website. Give it a…

RT: All Nighter
I wish I got to do cool guy stuff. I’m trapped in this house with two women. Someone, send help. I’m being overrun by glitter.

AH: Out of Order!
Hey guys, Jack here…manning the fort all by myself. That’s right, Geoff is out of town and I’ve been left with some sort of crazy control. As the first decree of my new reign, I present to you another Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Spec Op vid! Enjoy!!

AH: Respawn Radio – 034: Happy Holidays from Respawn Radio
After wrapping up the Game of the Year discussions last week, Lono, 8bit and Knuckles sit down by a warm fire, put on their Christmas sweaters and sip hot cocoa while discussing the Borderlands DLC and their favorite iPhone games of the year. So, sit back, relax and let the brightly colored knit sweaters wash…

AH: Moar Ops!
Okay, so far, nothing has caught on fire. Yet. I bring you yet another Spec Op vid from Modern Warfare 2, this is the more difficult “Breach & Clear” level. We’re jumping around a bit just because I cut them out of order before Geoff took off for Alabamaland. Enjoy! See you tomorrow!

AH: Snow-Motion
You guys love the Spec Ops, and we love making videos in them. Here are two snow-mobile themed Ops, Bravo’s Race and Charlie’s Time Trial. Here’s a secret…I beat Geoff in both of them. WHAT! Here is RACE! And the ultimate in trialage, TIME TRIAL!

On Firefight
It’s not hard to see the appeal of the idea of the Firefight mode in Halo 3: ODST. If you follow Bungie’s shooter roots back to Marathon, and to the PC shooter that really kicked off the modern era, Doom, you can see the start of it. Doom didn’t have discrete multiplayer ‘levels’ the way…

AH: Respawn Radio – 035: First shot, last call
This is it, we close out 2009 with, what else, an awesome review of Disney Princess Enchanted Castle for the Wii. Think it can’t get much worse, you won’t believe it until you hear it. Thank you 2009, long live 2010! Happy New Year all! Happy Holidays from Respawn Radio! Your Hosts Are: Lono, Knuckles…

RT: Happy New Years and Whatnot
Happy New Years everyone (yes, I realize i’m two days late – deal with it). Anyway, here’s the first comic of 2010.

AH: Happy Twenty-Ten!
Alright folks, did you all work off your New Year hangovers? Great, we did too. What better way to kick off our 2010 than with some more Spec Ops in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2! You know you love it. Today is “Hidden,” the Charlie Op. Charlie was one of my favorite characters in…

RT: Happy Boxing Day!
The Ramsey clan is driving back to Austin and as such I have been given the job of official comic poster. It is a glamorous life filled with mystery and intrigue but I think I can manage. I didn’t fuck it up right?

Bungie’s Back on the Job
Bungie.net has a couple of vids for you in the queue that built up while they were on break – Christmastage 2009 is a four-player montage with a yuletide flavor, and Firefight: One More Night is sort of a stylized ODST Firefight montage. Go watch!(Louis Wu 22:09:52 UTC)
