halo reach
The Halo Trilogy might have ended a while ago, but there’s more to Bungie’s unique and action-packed universe than Master Chief. After all, we’ve also seen the release of Halo Wars and Halo: ODST.
With that said, Bungie is currently working on its latest Halo title before leaving Microsoft and joining Activision.
Halo: Reach will present the player with a darker story. Set on the planet Reach, humanity’s last line of defense against the Covenant, Halo: Reach will tell the story of the Noble Team, a group of Spartan soldiers willing to risk their lives to keep the enemy at bay. No, not that kind of Spartans… It’s Reach, not Sparta.
Bungie promises a lot with this title. The player will not only become a legendary Spartan soldier, but will also be able to participate in the biggest conflicts ever seen in the Halo universe. New weapons and abilities will be added to the familiar arsenal, all of which will help the player take on cunning AI enemies.
New technology will add to the experience, with stunning visuals combined with systems that fully exploit nextgen technology. And let’s not forget the features gamers love. Halo: Reach will feature four-player co-op, split-screen support, save movies, screenshots, and a bunch of other stuff that hasn’t been revealed yet. It may be Bungie’s last Halo game, but it looks like Halo: Reach will be the best as well. We will have to wait until mid-September to find out.

bullet storm
Bulletstorm is an over-the-top first-person shooter that aims to make your friends freak out even more fun.
Creative designer Cliff Bleszinski describes the game as a mix between Duke Nukem and the popular TV series Firefly and promises fast-paced action mixed with quirky storytelling.
The story takes place in future space, where former elite mercenaries have ended up as drunken pirates.
After an accident in space, they end up trapped on a dangerous planet on the edge of the border.
Their mission: hopefully escape the planet alive and with all body parts attached as mutants, mercenaries, ferocious creatures, and hungry plants fight for change on the menu.
The player controls the main character, Grayson Hunt, who is joined by his friend Ishi Sato in a desperate fight to escape the planet and perhaps even get revenge on its former commander.
Epic Games has teamed up with developers People Can Fly (Painkiller), which means we can expect boss encounters of Biblical proportions.
In addition to the obvious FPS weapons, Bulletstorm will also introduce its own special range to make potential kills a bit more interesting. An example would be the flail gun that fires two grenades linked by a chain, which can be used for some interesting takedowns and kill combos.
Creative kill shots are encouraged and points will be earned for stylish kills that can be exchanged for weapon upgrades or character abilities.
This is going to be one for the collection: a break from the totally serious, lots of over-the-top killing action, and notable boss fights. No release date has been announced yet, but players can expect Bulletstorm to only hit stores in 2011.
