Halo 5: Guardians coming in 2015
Master Chief will return to the battlefield next year. Microsoft and game developer 343 have announced the next instalment in the Halo universe – Halo 5: Guardians, due out in the autumn of 2015. Announcing the sequel, 343 general manager…
Halo 4 coming to Xbox 360, not next gen console
It's that time of year, the days are getting shorter and much colder, and we are all talking about the next generation of console. When will it arrive? What will it be called? What games are going to be…
The Halo 3 My Little Pony is the best freakin' thing I've seen on the net all week
I’m not ashamed to admit I played with My Little Pony toys as a kiddywink, but I also played with LEGO and Scalextric if that redeems me. As you can imagine, this Halo-themed pony has pleased me greatly.
Your daughter/niece/stolen Madeleine McCann might not appreciate being presented with a Master Chief lookalike, but the Custom Pony competition judges over in Kentucky, USA sure did, awarding the designer second place. Created using…
Stunning video of a boy's home made Master Chief costume
A slightly self-conscious youth by the name of Ashley has spent the last few weeks furiously creating his own version of Master Chief’s armour, as worn in such blockbuster games as Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3.
Now usually, this sort of unusual teenage dress-up activity is confined to the bedroom. But brave Ashley has stuck a video of him modelling his work up on to YouTube for the education and mocking entertainment of the world. Watch him flex and pose like Master Chief off his tits in a gay disco:
CES 2008: Halo 3 weapons turned into real-world laser-tag guns
Wouldn’t you like to own a Halo 3 plasma rifle or plasma pistol in real life? Well, you can! A US company called Jasman Toys is selling replica versions with Laser Pursuit technology built in.
Founder of Harvard University, dressed like Master Chief. Priceless.
To the young gentlemen who dressed up Harvard University’s John Harvard statue as Master Chief, I bow down and take my helmet off to you all.
Some crazed students, probably fuelled by cheap liquer and the frenzy of the Halo 3 launch, recently dressed the John Harvard statue in Harvard Yard up with an assault rifle and Spartan helmet, as Master Chief. Wonder…
Only for the obsessed: round-up of the worldwide Halo 3 on Xbox 360 video game launches
Curse living in the UK! As if not having peanut butter M&Ms, GAP Sweatshirts and more TV channels than you can poke a stick at isn’t enough, the US also got their hands on Halo 3 a full day ahead of us. And it’s not just the Yanks we’re sending virtual envious glares at, it’s also the suntanned Kiwis and Aussies who are crossed off our Christmas card lists too. Bah humbug.
Not that us folk living in the UK and Europe have that much longer to wait, as the hugely-anticipated Game Of The Year is dropping into town tonight, with 1,000 stores across the UK extending their opening hours for the hordes of sweaty gamers expected. Of course, some of you may already have finished the last chapter in the trilogy by Bungie, as both Tesco and Argos somehow ‘accidentally’ managed to sell copies before the launch date. “Oh, sorry, mister, a unicorn ran into the store, grabbed several copies from the box, and placed them on the shelf, I didn’t know what to do!”
Let’s take a look at some of the carnage Halo 3 fanboys have wreaked across stores in the US, Australia and New Zealand in the last 12 hours or so…
Halo 3 Kubrick toys provide a new way to play with Master Chief
Xbox 360 owners are getting sweaty-palmed at the thought of getting their hands on Halo 3 next week (well, apart from the ones who bagged early copies through Argos, of course). But how to fill your time until its released? My suggestion: 2.5-inch Japanese art toys. Obviously.
Celebrate the Halo 3 launch in a week with some personalised Master Chief M&Ms
Or any launch, for that matter. I’ve just discovered that on the M&Ms website, chocolate-fans can upload graphics, logos or messages, pick between 22 colours, and order any amount they want. With prices starting at just $2.90 for a 1.75oz bag with a bow…
The GPS parachuting helmet that makes you look like Master Chief from Halo 3
Check out ParaNav, the new helmet-mounted GPS navigation system for parachutists from Rockwell Collins. It’s also a flight management system with built-in head-up display, helping you fly to your planned landing destination.
Apparently it works at 28,000 feet and temperatures of -20 degrees. However, this ain’t for weekend parachutists: it’s meant for military types. All I can think when I look at it is ‘Master Chief’ though – perhaps the designers were big Halo fans. Or perhaps Halo’s developers are parachute buffs, of course.
