Halo Legends Premiere in SF
Frankie stopped by to point out a note on IGN – looks like Halo Legends will be presented in San Francisco on February 10 (this coming Wednesday), at the AMC Metreon. Tickets are free, and the IGN article explains how you can try and grab one. As ElusiveEagle519 reinforced, the article even has an exclusive clip from Origins, Part 2.(Louis Wu 16:01:19 UTC)

Halo 2 DLC no longer available
So it turns out that Microsoft has already taken downloadable content for the original Xbox offline, in preparation for the termination of the service for that console in April. Why is this a bad thing? Because many of us haven’t grabbed recent copies of the Halo 2 downloadable maps – and the Xbox 360 has a nasty habit of corrupting original content. Without those maps (which you can no longer download), you can’t play in any of the current Matchmaking playlists. Ugh! Thanks to Avateur for the heads-up. (Bungie says they’re working on it.)(Louis Wu 16:00:12 UTC)

Goodies on Halo Waypoint
Don’t you just love it when weekends turn out like you planned ’em? Back for a little bit, to update you on a few of the things that have been going on since Friday. Let’s start with Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian, Part 4 – it went live, as expected, yesterday, and finishes the Frank O’Connor-penned short story Waypoint started 3 weeks ago. It’s a great piece of work, and if you’d rather see it in one unbroken run, it’ll be up on Halo Waypoint next week in its complete form. While you’re there, don’t forget all the other stuff they’ve got for you!(Louis Wu 15:55:51 UTC)

RT: Story of my life
Hey Everyone,
Mass Effect 2 is a great game, really great. However, there are a few points where it hits a little too close to home for me. Today’s comic is a shining example.

AH: Beatrice was a lover.
It’s late. I was busy being a glutton and didn’t get a chance to post this. Yay more Dante’s Inferno! So for those of you still awake, enjoy the Beatrice Stone collecting guide I am putting up now. Also, welcome back Griffon to the commentary. Hooray!

Emo Tears and Unstoppable Death Dealers
The Bungie Weekly Update was posted earlier this evening – it contains info to drool about (if you knew what urk was actually looking at, that is), some good news about Elites, some really cool news about shield effects, an update on the 1 vs 100 Halo event (looks like it’s going to be February 9 (Tuesday), not February 12, as originally posted), more fun icon submissions, and other goodies. Go read it! It is, of course, available in our Weekly Update Archive, should you choose to read it there. Update: the original date of February 12 for the Frank and Marty show is actually correct. The official announcement says that the show on the 9th is “followed immediately” by the Halo-themed show – but by “immediately”, they mean “3 days later”. Thanks, Voc and Cocop.(Louis Wu 02:25:06 UTC)

AH: Mass Effect 2: "Scannable Anomaly" Planets (Part One)
Hello World. Today I present to you a Mass Effect 2 video, that I worked ever so hard on. I hope you like it as much as it likes you (it told me some very complimentary things about you in confidence). It’s part one of a two parter showing where all the scannable planets are in the game. Fantastic!

AH: Judas was a jerk
Yo! We’re back with more Dante’s help. Today we pick up the first five Judas Coins scattered throughout the game. You get a bunch of extra soul-money when you pick up five, and an achievement when you get all thirty! Hooray!
Here are the first five Judas Coins in the game!

Halo 2 Xbox Multiplayer switches off April 15
It’s true. The big news we’ve been wondering about and to some degree dreading for months is finally confirmed. Xbox 1 Live Multiplayer will be disabled on April 15, 2010. This is because some features that the Xbox Team wants to add to LIVE are simply incompatible with Original Xbox games.
Read the full letter from Marc Whitten…
We know that one of these is bigger friend lists. For myself, as more and more great games come out I want more people, some for Halo, some for MW2, some for Bioshock 2, some for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc.
What else is in store? Very little has been revealed. But what we do know is Halo 2 and all other Xbox 1 games will no longer be playable on LIVE after April 15. Offline play will still work.
Podtacular, in its role as the Unofficial Halo Universe Podcast, will undoubtedly hold several Halo 2 multiplayer events as we send off the game that single-handedly made Xbox Live what it is today. Discuss this news in our forums, meet up with Halo 2 gamers, and stay tuned for events! Betcha can’t stick it!

AH: Return to Hell!
Ahoy kiddos, today Geoff and I return to Hell to face off against King Minos in Dante’s Inferno. He really is a lovely chap and is kind enough to give us the “Sentence the Judge” achievement after we dispatch him back to the underworld. Or, wherever someone goes when they die in Hell.

Hey Everyone,
Today’s comic is posted immediately to the left of these very words, just click on the image to see it in it’s full glory. Once you’re done, you might want to head over to Achievement Hunter and check out some exclusive videos we’ve got going on. We were lucky enough to get an early copy of Dante’s Inferno, and are cranking our a video a day until it releases. I’m pretty sure this is the only place in the world you will get such an extensive early look at the game.
