Bungie Might Not Be Finished With Halo, or They Might Be

By Evan Selleck on Wednesday, Aug 26th 2009 No Comments

Around the time of this year’s E3, back in June, there was some good and bad news delivered regarding one of the quintessential video games to grace consoles in recent times: Halo. With the announcements of Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach came the good news; but then Lars Bakken, Senior Designer over at Bungie Studios, made some comments regarding the final days of the Halo series, with regards to Bungie’s involvement. He basically said that Reach was the studio’s final Halo game, much to the dismay of the gaming world (or at least Halo’s fanbase).

Halo Soda Vending Machine up for Auction for Charity

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Mar 21st 2008 1 Comment

halosodavendingmachingThis one off pop machine was designed for Bungie to help them celebrate the milestone that was Halo 2, but it never got used. Well, now they’ve had the whole team sign it and are selling it for charity with all of the proceeds going to the Make a Wish foundation.

Like I said, the team never used it, so it’s more or less brand new, save for the small amount of dust that might have built up on the machine. The current bid is $15,000 if you want this literally one of a kind machine.

Shipping is free if you can pick it up in Kirkland, Washington, otherwise it ranges from $200 to $2000 depending on where you live in the continental US, and if it has to leave that are either to hit Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico, or worse yet, internationally, I’m sure those shipping costs spike up quite quickly. They did use it a few times to test it and make sure it worked, and it does, but that’s it, so, fire up your bank accounts. I wonder if it comes with a case or two of Mountain Dew’s Halo Game Fuel drink?

Hit the jump for a complete rundown of the goodies.

Bungie steps up to help out gamer with wiped 360

By Chris on Wednesday, Mar 5th 2008 No Comments

Decorated 360Remember earlier this week when I told you about the gamer that had his autographed 360 wiped clean (or had his case swiped)? Well there still hasn’t been any official word from Microsoft on the matter, they’re still “investigating.” While Microsoft is looking into the matter, Bungie is taking action.

“Something is already ‘afoot’ within Bungie to help our community member in need,” Bungie community director Brian Jarrard told Next-Gen on Monday. “Our team and the community as a whole is rallying to help fix this unfortunate situation. It’s been awesome to see such an outpouring of sympathy and support from our community. We can’t replace the exact item that was lost but, but we should come very close.”

Free Halo 3 from Bungie

By Christina Crouch on Tuesday, Nov 20th 2007 No Comments

Microsoft is being oh so generous this holiday season and decided to give away free copies of Halo 3! Now for the bad news… The offer is only available to those precious few people who have yet to get with the program and upgrade to an Xbox 360. Oh and you also need to be an Xbox live member prior to the purchase.

Halo 3

Free is a bit of an overstatement. If you’re going to spend that much money you may as well throw in the extra $60 and buy the game yourself. That being said for a micro second after hearing this news I was sad that I upgraded two months ago and missed out on the free stuff. Then I remembered that my Xbox 360 and Halo 3 were a gift and all was well.

Official: Bungie and Microsoft splitting, sort of

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Oct 5th 2007 No Comments

BungieLogoRemember that article I wrote the other day about the rumor of Bungie separating from Microsoft? Well its not a rumor anymore, in fact its quite official.

I don’t know how much of a split it is, here is an analogy of the situation from my perspective though, it’d be like you telling your parent you were moving out, but you move out, into the room above the garage, technically its out, but your still very, very connected. Really all this has done is made it possible for Bungie to work on other games/platforms if they want to.
