Just watch - I'm pretty speechless.
UPDATE - Multiple sources state that this project is a DLC extension to Halo 3 - essentially 'another act' in the campaign to download. The Halo story arc hasn't finished yet! Rumoured date for release is 06/01/09.
UPDATE 2 - Rumours say that this is indeed a sequel to Halo 3 (probably connected to the planet seen at the end of the Halo 3 cliffhanger) but is a squad based shooter (similar to Gears of War). Interestingly, it seems that this won't be DLC, but a whole new retail title. A Bungie spokesperson said to IGN - "We're always looking at ways to further expand and improve the Halo 3 experience, but there are currently no plans for an update to add new campaign content."
News just in, Apple has confirmed the event on September 9th is happening. It'll be at 10am and we'll probably be seeing new iPods, rumoured new-nanos.
Following the recent release of the 'Cagney' pack on Xbox 360 and PS3, adding extra challenges and online modes, the Davis pack will be released within the month. This pack, as you may know, adds a full day/night and dynamic weather cycle, and for the first time ever in Burnout - motorcycles.
Here's a video (from GameTrailers) showing the new features of the new pack.

From the makers of Half-Life and Counter-Strike comes Halo 4. Apparently.
According to Official Xbox Magazine USA, they've learned that Halo 4 is currently in development as a launch title for the Xbox 3, NextBox, Xbox 720, whatever the codename is now. If this is true, it's certainly one of the best choices, although personally, I would've preferred to see the reigns handed to Infinity Ward or Ubisoft.
The next Xbox is quite a way off too - analysts estimate a 2010/2011 release, just before Sony, whose PS4 is due in 2014.
Is there anyone who is currently watching the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Is it just me or are there 2 giant 'edam' cheeses hovering above the stadium camouflaged as drums?
Also, you may have noticed the appearance of 'It' from South Park
...Just wondering :)
Coming this November, little is known about this title, besides the fact that it's going back to the original roots of the franchise - illegal street racing.
Just confirmed by Don Mattrick (President of Microsoft Game Studios) that Bungie is working on a sequel to Halo 3. Note, that this is not Halo Wars or 'The Peter Jackson Halo Project' (currently codenamed Halo Chronicles).
This news comes shortly after the 'leak' by Wal-Mart of 'Halo Blue'

It's 3 feet long. It weighs 15 pounds. It's life size. It's a Lancer. But, it's also very expensive. Shipping in the fourth quarter this year, this replica is a hefty $949 (approx £483). More details to follow, but for the moment, just look at it. Dude.
