Super Space Gordon and the Robot Ninjas
Pierre Tartaix sent word of Super Space Gordon and the Robot-Ninjas, a pretty awesome Halo 3-based machinima created by TGO GMBH. Fantastic combination of in-game footage and special effects… and an entertaining story, to boot. This was created for a contest on Virtualflicks.net… good luck to the crew!(Louis Wu 12:29:12 UTC)

Only one of us is wearing bulletproof armor…
TCKaos pointed out Part 4 of Modern Warfare 2 meets Metal Gear Solid, a pretty well-done live-action film that’s relevant here because of the presence of Master Chief. Nice coreography! (Louis Wu 12:25:53 UTC)

Bungie To Make An MMOAG?
Back when Halo was first announced, there were hints of a persistent, online world. Last year at GDC, Bungie’s own Joseph Staten hinted at such a thing. Now it seems like this year’s GDC presentation by David Aldridge may have tipped Bungie’s hand; the company is reportedly making a massively multiplayer action game. Since Microsoft now owns Halo and 343 Industries is shepherding it, it remains to be seen what setting this game will exist in.
Seen at HBO.

I don’t generally like to highlight links on Facebook, since they’re not, in general, visible to non-Facebook members… but this is pretty cool. hotshot revan pointed out a page devoted to another fan-made Halo movie, this one called ‘Halo: Faith’.

AH: Dead Space 2 – DLC Achievements Delay
Hey guys, just a quick heads up for those of you who may be considering getting the new “Severed” Add-on pack. As with some previous titles, Dead Space 2‘s first DLC pack has been released without the achievements being added to Xbox.com. This in turn means that you will not be able to earn any of the new achievements until a patch has been released to fix the issue.
This doesn’t, however, stop you from enjoying what the new DLC has to offer, it’ll just mean playing it again for getting the achievements. Thanks to BrownMan for the tip.
Update: Gotten reports that the achievements are available on Xbox.com now and so should be unlockable. Thanks to the various tips and confirmations.
