On Microsoft Vancouver’s new website, it said it’s working on a AAA core shooter for the Kinect. Destructoid has heard rumors of a Halo game coming from the studio. This does fit up with Microsoft registering the KinectHalo.com domain, but it could be the rumored Gears of War Kinect game. Whatever the case may be, we might be getting a hardcore shooter for the Kinect. Thanks, REMEMBER CITADEL, for the initial find!(Hitmonchan 21:31:57 UTC)

Attention, entire world. Why aren’t you in Vancouver right now? Kathleen (aka Tex), Nico (from Trocadero) and Luke (the artist of m*therf*ck*in’ RT Comics) are there. Go say “hi”.

Hey! it’s a mech game, WITH MECHS! and I’m Tonyski. Fragger’s in there too. There’s also collectables and tanks and more stuff blowing up in New York.

Today’s Portal 2 video is a little different. I was so blown away by all of the hidden pieces of art around the game, I decided to compile them into a video. It’s an art gallery with portals and robots!

CaptainTony noticed a very recognizable face in Leviathan’s Twitpic stream… I’m really curious to see the rest of the project!(Louis Wu 20:33:26 UTC)

urk’s hoping to give out a lot of star nameplates this week – all you gotta to to qualify is come up with a cool jetpack picture. Full rules at Bungie.net!(Louis Wu 18:43:09 UTC)

Couple of new vids for you on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter today:

• KayEmX and FKIV are back – they’ve posted the followup to their Swag montage, and once again, it’s Sniper Central.
• CruelLEGACEY posted Fails of Reach – FAN FAILS 3 – lots of common fails, but several very amusing ones.

Go watch!(Louis Wu 18:41:15 UTC)

Godly Perfection posted another in his Forge Lesson series – this one is called ‘Veteran Testing‘, and involves watching jaded folks who’ve seen it all play your map – and seeing what they use (or don’t use). Go read! (Thanks, urk.)(Louis Wu 18:31:17 UTC)

Grumpy sent us word of a new Halo 2 trick – Muzza, from jumpers.org, decided to snag the Scarab gun on Metropolis. Without a Banshee, or any other flying device. He just… meleed himself up there. These guys never cease to amaze!(Louis Wu 18:27:47 UTC)

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…

The Speed Demos Archive just posted Halo 1 Done Segmented – the parting gift scurty and slYnki created for High Impact Halo and released last month. There’s some pretty interesting commentary from the duo posted beneath the video – go give it a read! Thanks, Cody.(Louis Wu 17:17:55 UTC)

OboeCrazy has been collecting mini-bloopers in Reach; they’re not combined, but they’re small enough that visiting multiple links shouldn’t tax you too much. Check out how to get a Showstopper on yourself, a campaign clip showing what happens when Falcon drivers drink on duty, and a Reach-based superbounce (no, she shouldn’t be banned for this). Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 16:53:36 UTC)

Now your failure is complete.

All of this is tearing us apart.

Learning from the “Grizzled Ancients” of your map.

Domino’s back, and he has another Defiant Map Pack code he wants to give away! If you need it… stop by his giveaway page and add your name to the list. This one’s short – he’s picking a winner on Wednesday.(Louis Wu 14:58:05 UTC)
