Halo 4

Bungie certainly have grabbed the gaming market by the collar and shoved its nose against the polished glass with this new game.

Set to be released in December 2012, Halo 4 promises to be one of the best FPS games ever created.

!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!




With the ending of Halo 3 showing the Master Chief going into a cryogenic sleep, telling Cortana to wake him should she need him. The teaser trailer from Xbox Live shows Cortana frantically waking up the Master Chief as the section of ship they were stranded in from Halo 3 began to break up over a planet sized body in space. It has been revealed that it is a forerunner structure which holds a powerful threat to the human race upon its land.

343 industries have promised both new and old in this latest edition of the Halo series, so be assured to see some well known faces as well as some new foes emerging.

Halo4 isn't all about saving the human race (Like Reach was), this time it will be a personal story for both the Master Chief and Cortana. The duo have been through tough scrapes and heroic victories, but as Cortana knows Smart AI's like her only have a seven year lifespan before they enter a state called Rampancy and quite literally think themselves to death. Yes the clock is ticking.


With the 360 entering its twilight era, the Master Chief is coming home, hopefully allowing the 360 to bow out on a high note.

Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary

Some new news has just been released about one of Bungies new games coming out this year.
Halo CE: Anniversary promises to be a gleaming redesign of the original Halo Game that sparked it all.

Set to be released on the 15th November 2011 (UK) it promises some awesome new features. For example stereoscopic 3D will be available when playing the Game in its HD mode.
There will also be a feature allowing you to down/up-grade the graphics quality between the original and new versions of the game.

Unfortunately all this shiny new stuff comes with a downside, the multiplayer aspect of the game has been tampered with, while we all wanted to see the game return with its own multiplayer engine, it has been said that it is to return with Halo: Reach's multiplayer engine. This is so it complies with Bungie's infrastructure for compatible gaming.

Stay tuned for more information regarding Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary.

Until next time.

Rest In Peace Steve



Today the news broke that Apple had lost its leading light, its father figure. Steve Jobs, the man behind the world famous Apple devices such as the iMac & iPhone and perhaps the most famous of them all the iPod, died peacefully yesterday.

Apple may not have always been the favourite technology company but with the guidance of Steve it created some of the worlds best devices which we all know and love.
The world without Steve will be quieter and it is known that no-one will ever be able to replace his passion for creating the next best thing for the people.

To quote Apple themselves: "The world is immeasurably better because of Steve".


As a personal note; I do send my condolences to Steve's family, friends and colleagues.

Goodbye for now Steve, We thank you for your time on this earth, and you will not be forgotten.
