Given the fact that Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is being released in just a few days, a lot of content has been released this month detailing what is to come for all the Halo fans!

First off, a major update is coming to the Halo Waypoint, which is accessible through the PC, Xbox 360 and Windows 7 mobile phone.  A whole new interface is coming with it, as well as new features.

The Waypoint update should be coming around the time of the Fall Dashboard Update for the Xbox 360.  Windows Phone users will have to upgrade their phones to version 7.5 (Mango).

There has also been a ton of new Behind the Scenes videos for people interested in seeing the progress of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.  They have been talking about the game quite a bit since the New York Comic Con (where I got to see it playable) but you can take a look at these behind the scenes videos right here.

First off, a little something about the music.

This details a whole new feature for the game, the new Terminals.

And now, a look at the game’s campaign.

They also released a whole new campaign trailer.

GameTrailers.com also has done it again and made another one of their FANTASTIC retrospectives and Halo is the focus.  The first part detailed the making of the Halo franchise and the games that released for the original Xbox.  The second part focuses on the games that released for the Xbox 360.  However, even though only two parts of the retrospective has been released, but they have said a third is coming and it is going to focus on the game’s multiplayer.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is coming November 15th, 2011 exclusive to the Xbox 360.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim E3 Demo November 6, 2011

When I attended E3 this summer, one of the more fortunate opportunies I had during the event was an invitation to the Bethesda booth on Day 1.  As far as I could recall, this booth was not open to regular attendee access, and the three games that were being shown there were only shown by appointment only.

I was able to demo RAGE for the first time (which is now out), I caught a full preview of Prey 2 (which is scheduled for release in 2012) but everyone has told me the game I was most fortunate to see was The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  The game was only demoed behind closed doors and no press were allowed to record footage of it.

Well, now the video is officially out.  Since the game is to be expected this month, I thought I’d share with you guys exactly what I saw at E3 this year.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is coming November, 11th, 2011.

Over the weekend I did some minor tweaking of the Site Categories section in the lower right hand side of the site.  I have been occasionally adding new categories for various editorial or video series when they become frequent enough, but I never attached proper information to them.  That has been rectified.

As I’m sure you’ve also noticed, I have the abilty to upload videos in excess of 15 minutes again, and I intend to continue to use it for as long as I am able to.  Have a great weekend guys!
