Even with three Halo games finished, two more in the works, memorabilia spanning the retail spectrum from board games to action figures, Microsoft promises not to exploit the Halo brand. Though, “exploring” the brand is fair game.
Bungie’s Microsoft’s own Frank O’Connor reiterated their Halo franchise intentions after the current Comic-Con funnery admitting that “the Halo universe is really, really large now.” O’Connor continued saying that “we have a well defined, carefully orchestrated, properly planned universe to explore not exploit” admitting “that’s the tricky part: what are the …

Also on the release this week are Spectral Force 3 and Summer Athletics The Ultimate Challenge. Spectral Force 3 is a Japanese strategy RPG and Summer …

In Gametrailers.com’s latest interview with Fable 2 head master Peter Molyneux, we used our ninja-ears (yes, ninja-terming body parts is granted under the ninja-naming rulebook) and actually picked up on a Fable franchise fact. At around the 5:10 mark (video after the break), Molyneux speaks about his intent for the Fable franchise going forward saying that “we got plans for Fable three, four and five” and that “it’s actually a huge story arc.” With the average turnaround time to develop a Fable game being around the eight year …

Put on your reading glasses and take a looksy at the new video embedded above showcasing a solid four minutes of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe fighting footage. The game actually looks rather intense, true to form and with the addition of free fall combat and close combat scenarios, it could be a winner. Take in all the video goodness and cheer for the Batman. He and his newfound wealth are all the rage right now, don’tcha know.

September 5th is the new beta end date which we suspect the promised patch has something to do with. Talking of patch, if you haven’t already checked it out, the Capcom folks outlined all the updates and …

“Who cares? I already saw the new dashboard at E3,” you state. Understandable, but there’s something magical about someone snagging the new dashboard early and uploading a shaky-cam video to YouTube for all the world to see. Even superior, we get to see a few areas of the new dash that weren’t on display at E3. That means you get the thrill of looking at the settings tab! One last thing: apparently it’s possible for anyone to get their hands on the update right now, though it does …

With the intergalactic cat already out of the bag this weekend, Cryptic Studios has officially announced Star Trek On the internet and unveiled a website for the in-development MMO. The developer has also released a handful of screenshots and promises to reveal gameplay footage at the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention on August 10 (there’s a countdown on the STO site if you need something to stare at for the next 13 days).
