FyreWulff pointed out that the Halo 3 Double XP Weekend Playlist this week (live as of yesterday) is Mythic Brawl – this might be your best chance to get that 2-for-1 Laser Kill Achievement. (Oh, wait, that’s me.)(Louis Wu 15:33:51 UTC)

Bry, inspired by the NMPD police Pelican in ODST, decided to visualize what a police Falcon might look like. Pretty amazing job, you ask me! (Louis Wu 15:33:30 UTC)

If you wanted to get your hands on a Reach Legendary Edition, but thought $150 was too much – it’s going for $75 right now as a Video Game Lightning Deal at Amazon.com. You’ve got three and a half hours left at this price (assuming they don’t run out …
