Fast and furious Forging.

Take a walk on the long side and get some sweet DLC codes.

You’d be surprised how similar Grunts are to Sand-People…

Nine missions. No Deaths.

Details about Bulletstorm’s impending demo have just hit the web, and a taste of the first-person shooter will be available on XBox Live from January 25th, and the PlayStation Network from January 26th.

The demo will feature a co-operative/competetive experience called Echo mode, where a team of players will work together to play through locations from the campaign, will ultimately trying to rack up as many points as possible. Having a flair for style really helps in this game, as the more creative you are in killing bad guys, the more points you’ll earn through the game’s Skillshot system.

Playing the demo will also unlock some platform-specific upgrades to your character for use in the full game, including weapons and armour. And don’t forget that the XBox 360 Epic Edition of Bulletstorm will also come with more exclusive unlocks, as well as early access to the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta which is due to hit the digital marketplaces in Spring.

As we wrap up “race week”, I’ve got a sort-of racing related video for you. It shows how and where to get a hidden hot rod in Mafia 2.

TTL Demag0gue let us know that the latest issue of Reclaimer is out, with a nice little reference readers of Greg Bear’s Halo: Cryptum might like. Go give it a read!(GrimBrother One 15:23:11 UTC)

Today is the best day of race week because we don’t need any expensive cars, yellow Cabs or weird jet boats. Today is MONSTER TRUCKS!!! YEAH! Secret achievements in Monster Jam: Path of Destruction that include losing wheels and winning, 2 of the 3 best parts of Monster Trucks. The Last being Crushing cars.

I recorded it with my voice and also my buddy from Austin, Tex. He has stuff in the back of his van.

Brian Gilmore let us know that Geekscape’s Teabag Prevention Team is back on the case – this week, they’re out to help you maximize your score on Score Attack (specifically Gruntpocalypse on Courtyard). Go see how they can help!(Louis Wu 14:46:52 UTC)

FyreWulff finishes out the Birthday Week for Fire Team Zulu with a prize challenge set in Reach’s campaign. You can win DLC (or a Banshee avatar item) by playing through Long Night of Solace on Heroic! Read the details at FTZ. (He also pointed out that there was a small problem on the website that kept new members from submitting scores – read the details if you’re affected.) (Louis Wu 14:38:49 UTC)

Morpheus pointed out a couple of Halo-related bits in Game Informer – an online version of their Top 50 Games of 2010 (Halo items show up in a number of categories), and a pretty nice poster they’re selling. Go look! (Louis Wu 14:38:03 UTC)

munky-058 and friends found some REALLY big footprints on Nightfall – any idea what created these? (No, Gúta do not have this many toes…) (Louis Wu 14:36:59 UTC)

Leviathan noticed a small (but humorous) reference to Halo in a recent X-Men comic – nice to see it showing up in the culture of even FICTIONAL worlds! (Louis Wu 14:36:17 UTC)

Just two new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week – but one of ’em is HUGE. Go read!(Louis Wu 14:35:12 UTC)

In continuing with an odd news coincidence, the Waypoint Blog brings us a video that shows off the Chief put on a sidewinding spectacle in a very different way than you might think. Here is one fan who is bound to get an avalanche of fan mail with this performance. Give it a look, and you be the judge!(GrimBrother One 06:23:36 UTC)

Kotaku found a pretty cool piece of art done by Tyler Edlin as a commission piece. Even though we all know Chief is actually a Lightning fan, it’s still definitely worth checking…out.(GrimBrother One 06:14:22 UTC)

Holy crap a new game came out! Here we have Venetica a new RPG that just came out today state side. We kick off our videos in it with “Leather Style!”
