Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary ViDoc Released, Pre-Order Bonuses Detailed

Halo is still the one of the biggest FPS games in the current-gen, but with Bungie working on their own project with Activision and 343 Industries taking over the franchise, some people can begin to speculate. Not to mention that there will be a new Halo trilogy, beginning with Halo 4. For now, get yourself nostalgic with 343 Industries remake of Bungie's console debut of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

This'll be the first time we'll be looking at more of what this HD re-master of the Halo will be like, with this new ViDoc that 343 Industries has released.

In the video, 343 Industries take a look back at why Halo: Combat Evolved was one of the biggest FPS games to ever release on a console. Not only does the team love the original Halo and everything about it, but they're also bringing back many of fan favorite things, one of which is the old school pistol. Another is Co-Op play, which will be utilized online as well! From the looks of it as well, in multiplayer, we may be playing this game with the Halo: Reach engine.

That's not all! One of the most unique features in the game is the ability to change between the old graphics to the new graphics with just a push of a button. I reccommend checking out the video right above to see that game and comparisons in action.

With all of you getting pretty damn excited about this, there will be a pre-order bonus. When pre-ordered, you will receive the "Grunt Funeral" skull (skulls being "options" in the game to either change difficulty or just for plain fun). What this skull does is causes all hell to break loose when you kill off a grunt. Once it's down, it'll blow up as if a plasma grenade had been stuck on it, as portrayed in the video below.

The other pre-order bonus will be Master Chief Power Armor for your avatar, which hasn't been seen yet, but I'm pretty sure we can all see in our imagination what it would look like on our avatars.

With November being 4 months away, I'd suggest to keep your eyes peeled for this one.

Motorstorm: Apocalypse to Release on May 3

Originally delayed due to the earthquake and tsnuami that hit the land of the Rising Sun, Sony and Evolution Studios has announced that Motorstorm: Apocalypse officially has a new release date; one that's very soon to I may add! The new release date is now May 3rd, which is only a few weeks away!

Over at the Playstation.Blog, where the original announcement has been made, it was also revealed that every copy of Motorstorm: Apocalypse will be packaged with a DLC Voucher that unlocks 2 special vehicles (pictured above). There's also more, such as 1 of 3 of the Carbon Edition Vehicles that will be available to those who pre-ordered!

With those, you'll also be getting PSN Avatars, exclusive decals for your car when customizing, and a dynamic theme.

Now, I've played the original Motorstorm and it was fun and with how how awesome the new installment looks like, I'll be willing to check it out when it gets released within a few weeks
