BREAKING: Halo Reach Will Be Bungie's Last Halo Game

In an interview with IGN UK, Bungie's Lars Bakken confirmed that the team will be not be making any more Halo video games after the next two upcoming titles, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. Bakken reveals that Halo: Reach will be the last Halo game from them, and he also mentions that Bungie is already working on a brand new video game franchise.

"After Reach that's it for us. We're already working on a new IP that we can't talk about yet, I don't know when we'll be talking about it - when we're ready I suppose." -Lars Bakken

PICS: Band Hero For DS To Include Drum Attachment, Vocals

I'm reading: PICS: Band Hero For DS To Include Drum Attachment, VocalsTweet this!


The upcoming family-friendly Guitar Hero sequel, Band Hero, will be heading to the DS, among other consoles, but the DS version will include a new accessory for drumming.



Now all we need are teeny tiny drumsticks.

Activision has unveiled its plans for the upcoming DS version of Band Hero (the Guitar Hero sequel that has more of a top-40, family friendly musical approach). While previous DS Guitar Hero games have included a guitar grip attachment that let players replicate the console music game experience on portables, Band Hero will include the drumming and singing features included in Rock Band and Guitar Hero: World Tour.

In addition to a new guitar grip, Band Hero will also support a new drum attachment that slips over the DS's d-pad and face buttons. Like the guitar grip, the drum grip will only work with the DS Lite, as the dimensions of the slip-on attachment won't fit the original DS or DSi. Band Hero will also include vocals, which presumably, should be playable by DS owners of all stripes.

Band Hero will also be coming to the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii this year. Keep your eyeballs glued to Sports Legends as we'll keep you updated on these new Band Hero accessories the second we lay our hands on them.


Head on over to the next page for pics of the new guitar grip and the vocal interface!

THE VERDICT by Sports LegendsI thought the guitar peripheral for Guitar Hero: On Tour was pretty rad, so I've got high hopes for the new mini-drums. Even though Band Hero's top-40 lineup doesn't really float my boat, I still want to give the new peripherals a shot.

Next GTA Episode Coming Out On Oct. 29

Rockstar is bringing the newest chapter of the GTA IV saga to the Xbox 360 in a little over three months, as The Ballad of Gay Tony releases on October 29th!


Next GTA Episode Coming Out On Oct. 29

Rockstar revealed yesterday that the next downloadable expansion for Grand Theft Auto IV, entitled The Ballad of Gay Tony, will be coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 on October 29th. The game will release on Xbox Live for 1600 Microsoft Points ($16) that day, but will also be coming to retail stores that day as part of a $40 compilation disc entitled Episodes from Liberty City that includes the previous DLC GTA title, The Lost and the Damned.

Like The Lost and the Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony will take place in GTA IV's Liberty City, with a minor character from GTAIV acting as the protagonist. In this expansion, the player will assume the role of Luis Fernando Lopez, the bodyguard of nightclub owner Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. So far, Rockstar has only released the logo for the game, and one character drawing, shown in the image above.

THE VERDICT by Sports LegendsI wasn't the biggest fan of the Lost and the Damned, but I'm actually looking forward to Gay Tony. The logo and character design has a very Vice City-vibe, and seeing as how that's my favorite GTA game, I hope that translates into the game itself, too.
