Feature: Top 15 games to play over the holidays
First off: no Mario games. We all love Nintendo’s main man, but I could list off the good plumber’s titles ’til the cows come home, and I don’t have any cows…so that might go on for a while. Also, all entries come from this generation of consoles, because frankly, my entire list would consist of GoldenEye otherwise. So with that said, how can you get your gaming fix this holiday season with all manner of trash talking siblings, rambunctious cousins, and overly curious aunts and uncles scurrying around the house?

Reactions: Halo: Reach gets “Defiant” map pack
Coming as a surprise to absolutely nobody, Microsoft has revealed a second downloadable map-pack for its wildly popular Halo: Reach. According to GameSpot:
Author: CodyFeature: InsaneBear’s 2010 Game of the Year
Not really sure what's going on with that trophy...
It’s that time of year again; that wonderful time when we place an arbitrary crown on a single video game for rising above all the rest and demonstrating what video games should be. But before we recap the year that was 2010, I’d first like to continue an InsaneBear tradition and re-evaluate 2009′s Game of the Year…Alright, and with that re-evaluation process completed, I’ve decided to amend the scores of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Borderlands from Good to Great and Great to Good, respectively. That said, Dragon Age: Origins retains the honors of GotY. It certainly has some interface problems and the combat is a little clunky, but the world and cast of characters are sublimely rich and the Origin stories are a thing of beauty. Few games have allowed me to embrace real role-playing so readily, and for that, Dragon Age: Origins lives on in my mind. Let’s just hope the sequel is as good.

If they ever make a Fallout movie, I think we’ve found our poster. Oh, and in the event that funding can’t be secured for such a project, we could just settle for machinima.

They certainly look like good maps, I just hope Bungie doesn’t do what they did with Halo 3 and require them to play most game-types. On another note, I WANTZ TO LAN DIS GAME!

"Breakpoint."
Well, we knew it wouldn’t take long, and Microsoft has officially pulled the wraps off of the “Noble Map Pack,” which will offer three new match-making maps on November 30th for the standard price of 800 Microsoft Points ($10).
Author: CodyReview: Halo: Reach
Score: Superb
Difficulty played on: Heroic
Time to beat: About 8 hours
Loved the most: Addicting match-making, Firefight, 4-player co-op, and more make this game infinitely replayble.
Hated the most: While the campaign has no noticeable low points, it doesn’t have any real high points either, putting it more on par with ODST than the core trilogy.
Few franchises have had such an irrefutable impact on gaming as Microsoft’s flagship Halo series has. Ever since Halo: Combat Evolved set the benchmark for console FPSs back in 2001, each entry in the series has been hyped to epic proportions. Unsurprisingly, Bungie’s latest addition to the franchise has put fans the world over in a frenzy. It certainly doesn’t hurt that this is the revered developer’s last labor of love in the Halo universe. So does Reach live up to the hype of being the swan song to one of the industry’s most recognizable franchises? For the most part, yes. Just don’t go in expecting it to evolve the genre the same way its forerunner did nine years ago.
Author: CodyRandom: What is Minecraft?
So I’ve been hearing a lot about this Minecraft game lately, but I have no idea what it is. So I watched this video, which takes some audio from a kind fellow chronicling his experiences with Halo: Reach and plays it over some gameplay from Minecraft. I’m still not entirely sure what Minecraft is (I think it’s pretty much an open-ended level creator), but I feel like I’ve been enriched by watching this.
Author: CodyReactions: Halo: Reach DLC inbound?
The extend of the rumor is essentially the above image from the latest Bungie Weekly Update. No mention of DLC is made, but there are most certainly more achievement points listed than that the game shipped with. Bets on how long it takes to make it to market?
