In Halo: Nightfall’s first trailer, all of humanity is in danger. Can Jameson Locke save us?

Bungie’s next big thing is looking excellent as it heads into its beta phase.

Sci-fi fans who like to game will have a lot to look forward to in the coming year.

The first image in the next chapter of the epic Halo videogame series has been released. But what does it really tell us?

Halo is a much-loved franchise that leapt from the computer screen to books, comic books, and even a successful web series, Forward Unto Dawn.

Two weeks ago, College Humor released a hilarious video that told straight men that if they didn’t support gay marriage, gay men would marry their girlfriends…and they’d make much better husbands. Now gay women are having their say. And they’re saying that if women don’t support gay marriage, they’ll marry our boyfriends.

As Frank O’Connor, the franchise development director of Halo 4, explained to me the importance of strategy in the long-awaited addition in the Halo series, all I could think was, “Naked naked naked.” That’s because I had just met the 2012 version of Cortana, the Master Chief’s AI companion, a character who is brilliant, capable, loyal and happened to be completely sans garments. Because of Halo 4’s excellent graphics, her body, rather than her personality, is in the forefront. Naked naked naked.

For gamers, November 6 isn’t just Election Day. It’s the day when the Halo Nation get their collective hands on the long-awaited Xbox game, Halo 4. But gamers have even more to look forward to than the continuing adventures of the Master Chief and his ethereal AI sidekick, Cortana. 343 Industries will also be releasing the first segment of Spartan Ops, one of ten “episodic co-op adventures” (like a TV series but streamed via your Xbox).
