Halo Legends Soundtrack
Jordan491 noticed that (at least for US residents) the iTunes Store contains previews of all the songs on the Halo Legends Soundtrack, and gives you the opportunity to preorder it. Many of the pieces are off the Halo soundtracks – but quite a number are not. (The $9.99 download price is considerably lower than Amazon’s $15.98 preorder price.) Go see!(Louis Wu 13:12:11 UTC)

AH: XBox Live to be Discontinued for Original XBox
Major Nelson has just confirmed via his Twitter account that Microsoft will discontinue XBox Live for the original XBox, as well as original XBox titles playable on the XBox 360. The change will happen on the April 15th this year, with the first step being to remove auto-renewal for those gamers who only play on the V1 console.
How will this affect 360 owners? Well, supporting the original XBox has limited XBox Live’s potential, so once this change goes ahead we should notice changes to XBox Live for the better, though what exactly these changes will be is still unconfirmed.
For the whole story, check out MajorNelson.com.

AH: Two more Mass Effect 2 vids
Hey everyone,
Gus and I have knocked out two pretty useful (if I do say so myself) Mass Effect 2 videos for you today. The first covers finding the hidden Sigurd’s Cradle Nebula… while the second is a guide to accessing the also hidden Titan Nebula.

AH: Jack and Geoff go to Hell!
Hola amigos. I come to you today with a fantastic gift. The gift of HELL.
That’s right, we here at Achievement Hunter landed an early copy of Dante’s Inferno and have already started chipping away at the achievements laced throughout the game.
With the blessing of Viscreal Games and EA, we are releasing a few of these videos before the game is even available on the shelves!
I’ve had the game now for about a week and I’ve been having a blast with it. Serious fun in some crazy environments. Give it a shot when it hits next week.
Alright, without further ado, here is our first achievement video for Dante’s Inferno, “Burning Eyes.”

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.
