It can't be. A 10-year anniversary Halo: Combat Evolved remake? But it is! The folks over at Bungie go for a much needed digging around their old past time. The game that made them what they are today, large and much in charge of a nice chunk of the Xbox 360's online activity, is set to be re-released on November 15th of this year. It will feature updated graphics "layer", call it an emulator with the added benefits of modern graphic technology, and of course multiplayer support over Xbox Live.

As a matter of fact, the gameplay engine, the physics, the controls (with some minor changes for the 360 controller and the aspect ratio) are identical. It is, in short, the Halo CE engine, but with a second graphics layer, a separate engine in fact, running on top. You can see this phenomenon yourself by pressing the back button at any time. The game will switch from old graphics to new, and back again, in real time. That in itself, is a bizarrely fun feature – one we constantly used to check to see if things truly were identical, or more frequently, simply to compare the two generations of hardware and see how far things had come. Although perversely, sometimes we switched back only to remember how good the original looked.

Not sure if many of you know this but Bungie seems to have plans to rename Halo 3 to the Forerunner. I'm not sure this is a good idea as changing the name will have a huge impact in all the fan base the name Halo has built up. Besides, if its going to be almost the same, why change the name?! How about Halo: Forerunner.

A single person is attempting to bring the Microsoft fun to handheld. As we all know Microsoft does not have a handheld so PSPdemon is trying to mod Iris in order to make a 4 player Halo deathmatch for the PSP. Of course the game won't look as good or feel as good but still good for the guys that can't live without Halo.

Microsoft Australia is auctioning off a giant billboard by pieces. The auction will be done through eBay and started 2 days ago for the first piece.
After changing Sydneys skyline for about 6 months this catchy Halo advertisement is now up for grabs as Xbox auctions the sign worldwide in order to raise funds for the Make a Wish fundation.

Microsoft announced plans to release Halo 2 to the PC but only for their new Operating System Windows Vista. The Vista version of Halo 2 will combine the original game with the multiplayer map pack. Players will also have tools to build and customize their own multiplayer levels.
Although Microsoft did not bother telling us the official reason for Halo 2 being "Vista Only" it can easily be deducted that they want their new OS to spread fast. This will be easily accomplished by making us buy Vista if we want to play Halo 2 on PC...
