Bungie has been a difficult company to track over the past decade and a half. Ever since they parted ways with corporate overlord Microsoft over a decade ago, they’ve worked independently… sort of. In 2010, they struck up a publishing agreement with Call of Duty publisher Activision, allowing Bungie to receive large funding from the […]
Video games are a violent medium. We shoot, stab, slice, nuke, punch, bulldoze, swing, and skewer our way through baddies… and all for what? For the cathartic, sadistic pleasure of pretending to kill something without consequences? Well… yeah! It’s because of the same adrenaline rush we get from watching an action movie or reading a […]
Love ’em or hate ’em, first person shooters have pretty much redefined the video game medium. We would argue they changed it for the better.

Yet the genre itself didn’t take shape until the early nineties. Games like Maze War (1973), Spasim (1974), Battlezone (1980), and MIDI Maze (1987) all put players in […]

Posted on Halo Waypoint in a community update, there is a mention of the games’ development. Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST and Halo 4 are “taking extra time” so that they are […]
