Reach Iron Pro – Filmed
RC Master decided to enter the Spartan I Project’s ‘Reach Iron Pro’ challenge… and film his single-segment, no-deaths Heroic runthrough of Halo: Reach – including level breaks. Wanna watch? It’s only 2.5 hours long! (My hat is off.) Read his forum post for full details on the challenge (and why he went the route he did), or just jump over to YouTube to watch the gameplay.(Louis Wu 17:10:31 UTC)

It Would Have Been Unfair For Them All To Be From Marty
In a cool piece of news, the London Philharmonic is about to release a collection of what they feel is the Greatest Video Game Music.

I weep for gaming journalism
There are websites out there that really, really shouldn’t be writing reviews of upcoming products. A hands-on preview of Halo: Anniversary went live on Beefjack this morning that seems to have been written under the mistaken impression that there’s a multiplayer component that is separate from the Reach maps being released with the game – that “it’s the original Halo with online support and a new engine, marged onto the Reach servers.” Huhwha? (This thread at N4G has a response from Giddens, the author of the piece, which contains the comment “There is a multiplayer component to Halo Anniversary beyond the Reach multiplayer. I know, I played it.”) Thanks to NeoGAF’s wwm0nkey for noticing this – and to anyone actually READING it, please don’t believe that there is ANY multiplayer in Anniversary beyond the Reach-based maps. Because there isn’t.(Louis Wu 17:43:48 UTC)
