• Original Xbox Games Lose LIVE Support This April

  Notwen (or Marc Whitten, GM of Xbox LIVE...to those of you unfamiliar with the management over at XBL) has announced on the Xbox Gamerscore Blog that in April of this year, all version 1 Xbox games will lose LIVE support. This would include playing those same Xbox 1 games online on the Xbox 360 (if they were backwards compatible). This move that will...

• Update on 100 Friend Limit Cap on Xbox Live

  We've gone round and round on this for a few years now but this seems the most plausible explanation Microsoft has never issued a fully satisfying answer about why Xbox Live, almost four years after the launch of Xbox 360, cannot support more than 100 friends. The company has blamed it on technical obstacles related to the original Xbox Live architecture...

• Collective Yawn - Halo 2 Now Platinum Hit

  Seriously? I wonder how many people still buy Halo 2? As one of the strongest titles in the Xbox library, Bungie's Halo 2 has been notably absent from Microsoft's "Platinum Hits" series, which features high-selling games at reduced prices a few years after their release. Now, however, Halo 2 has finally gone "platinum," with... Posted Feb 11 2008, 01:07 PM by cosmo with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Xbox 360, Platinum Hits, Halo 2

• Bargain Bin: Halo 2 and Shadowrun Buy 1 Get 1 Free

  Shadowrun has quickly become a fan favorite here at AGE but for some reason it has been an uphill battle for this game to become a breakout title. Well thanks to Circuit City there might be more Shadowrun players the next time you jump on Live. Circuit City has you covered: buy Halo 2 on the PC for $40, get Shadowrun for the PC free.

• A Little Too Fanatic If You Ask Me: Are You in Love With Master Chief?

  The video speaks for itself. Nuff Said: Bungie has an interview with the lovely ladies who did this fine piece of art <here> There’s no simple way to explain what this is, so you’re just going to have to watch it, absorb it and come back here to find out more about it: "I want Master Chief" There. See? You understand why there was no simple explanation... Posted Jun 06 2007, 01:58 PM by cosmo with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Halo 2

• Halo 2 and Shadowrun Coming to Windows XP

  Despite being released to run only on Windows Vista gamers will soon be able to play both Halo 2 and Shadowrun on Windows XP thanks to Falling Leaf Systems compatibility software. No word on if Microsoft will update these titles to keep this compatibility software from working as intended. Today, Falling Leaf Systems proudly announces an official merger...

• Halo 2 for Vista Delayed Until May 22nd

  Wonder if this has anything to do with the "perceived" delay of the Dashboard Update? It's May 8th. Today marks the anniversary of Ghandi's 21-day fast and VE Day, the births of luminaries like Saul Bass and Edmund Wilson, and (to a somewhat lesser extent) the planned release of Halo 2 for Windows Vista. Unfortunately, that date is ... well, it's today... Posted May 08 2007, 05:20 PM by cosmo with | with no comments Filed under: Halo 2

• MJ Plays Halo 2 Vista and Previews Functionality

  Major Nelson was nice enough to share some insight into the Halo 2 Vista experience while on Live. While I won't be purchasing this for my PC, it's nice to see the features are up and running. I got my hands on a gold copy of Halo 2 for Windows Vista yesterday (it goes on sale in a few weeks) and after installing it I did a few things that, while geeky...

• Halo 2: Bungie Releases Two New Maps for Download

  Don't think many of us still play Halo 2 and cost seems a bit high at $4 for just two maps, but hey - who am I to complain. They will work on both the original Xbox and the 360. t's true! here's the digest version: Two new maps, both available on April 17th through the Halo 2 downloader in the game itself, and it's just $4 for the pair.The maps ar Tombstone...

• Online gaming options other than LIVE…

  I have been playing Xbox online even before XBL was available. In the old days we used to have to run a program on a PC that the Xbox was connected to (Directly using a crossover cable or via LAN) – These options are still available and require no subscription. The 2 most mainstream and popular are; http://www.xbconnect.com/ Xbox Connect was one of...

• [Rumor]: Rock Out The Halo Theme on Guitar Hero II

  Joystiq is reporting that the March issue of OXM states that the Halo track "could be" a downloaded track for the upcoming GH II. Definitely not your typical guitar solo material but if true, could mean more big bucks for MSFT and Bungie. Note: Is Steve Vai really the guitarist as Joystiq points out or is it just a culture reference? If so, that's pretty...

• Remarkable Grasp of the Obvious: Bungie Admits to Screwing Up Halo 2 (Updated)

  We all have heard it, seen it with our own eyes, and now hear it from Bungie itself. Halo 2 was basically unfinished. I suspect this will further enforce a release date of Halo 3 around November of this year and that they will not rush the product out. As it turns out, many staffers at Halo 2 developer Bungie agree with the criticisms leveled at the... Posted Jan 24 2007, 01:17 PM by cosmo with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Bungie Studios, Halo 2
