We are exactly a month away from the release of Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One and to promote the upcoming launch of the gam, Microsoft released a live-action TV spot which aired tonight during an NFL game.
If you’re like me and have no interest in physical sports whatsoever you probably missed it. Don’t worry, we got you covered, you can watch the commercial below. Just be aware there may be a small spoiler. If you’re uncomfortable with that, you might want to wait until the game is released before you watch it. If not, go ahead and give it a watch. It is extremely well made and has great production values. I just question why Microsoft would choose to air it during an event that their fans probably have no interest in.
Halo 5 Guardians will release October 27th, 2015 exclusively on Xbox One.

Happy Batman Day 2015 September 26, 2015

I know we’re still in the middle of Halo Week 2015 on this website, but today is officially recognized as Batman Day worldwide, and who am I to neglect such an important day on this site! To celebrate, DC has partnered up with tons of retailers to give away a special Batman Day comic free of charge to anyone who visits a participating bookstore, comic shop or video game store.
For anyone who might appreciate a blast from the past today, here’s some exclusive Batman content for our loyal readers. A few years ago, we recorded a podcast where we discussed the history of Batman video games up until the release of the Batman: Arkham video games. For those of you who might have missed it, or those of you who might want to listen to it again, you can listen to the entire podcast below!
Have a happy Batman Day everyone, and don’t forget to pick up the free comic at your local retailer. You might need to shop around a bit because my local comic book store didn’t receive copies of the book, but my local GameStop did have copies in stock. In fact, GameStop has announced their version of the book features an exclusive variant cover.

Continuing our Halo Week coverage as we get closer to the release of Halo 5: Guardians, Maniac and his guest diskreader117 talk about another Halo game which was released this year, Halo: Spartan Strike, and the game it is a sequel to, Halo: Spartan Assault. While Halo: Spartan Assault was originally only released on Windows 8 PCs and portable devices, it would eventually get a release on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It’s sequel, Halo: Spartan Assault, has not seen a console release but thankfully it did get ported, along with Spartan Assault, on the iOS platform this year, and that’s what we’re going to be talking about.
Are the games worth a download on your SmartPhone or Tablet? Let’s take a look.
Halo Week is far from over, everybody. Expect more video content each day. Tomorrow, we’ll be talking about Halo 5‘s #HuntTheTruth campaign.

Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Maniac and his special guest diskreader117 continue our discussion on all things Halo by giving our review of Halo: Nightfall, a live-action episodic series included with all copies of Halo: The Master Chief Collection
In this video we talk about what we thought of the series itself, if we prefer the episodic or theatrical cut, and give our thoughts on the Halo Channel app it was released though.
If this isn’t enough Halo content for you, do not worry because Halo Week has barely begun. Tomorrow, we’ll be talking about the other Halo game which has already been released this year, Halo: Spartan Strike on Android, iOS and Windows 10 platforms.

I’ve got big news for you guys. We’re a month away from the Xbox One release of Halo 5: Guardians, making 2015 one of the biggest years in Halo history. Because of that, Maniac and diskreader117 decided to team up to talk about Halo‘s impact over the past year. It turns out there was a lot of Halo to go around, we ended up discussing more than just what our expectations were for Halo 5, we also talked about Halo: The Master Chief Collection‘s state one year after it was released, the release of Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike on iOS, Halo Nightfall, the upcoming Halo TV series, Halo Wars 2, and a lot more. In fact, we talked so much we’re going to release this conversation over the course of a whole week, and because of that we are officially dubbing this week The Week of Halo on GameXcess.net!
To kick this all off, we’re going to break some big Halo 5: Guardians news. Earlier this month, Microsoft released the opening cinematic for Halo 5, where it detailed Spartan Locke and his team going into battle. However, Locke’s team is only half of the story of Halo 5, you’ll also be playing as series hero Master Chief, and he has a team of his own. Here’s the official opening cinematic for Blue Team.
Halo 5: Guardians is coming October 2015 exclusively on the Xbox One.
