If you’re champing at the bit to get your hands onHalo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, a high definition Xbox 360 remake of the original shooter, you’ll probably swallow anythingHalo-related whole. So this is for you: pre-order goodies for the upcoming game, which hits on November 15. Order the game early and you’ll get access to Master Chief’s signature MJOLNIR Powered Assault armor… for your Xbox Live Avatar. Probably more useful, though, is the “Grunt Funeral” skull for the game which, when activated, makes every single grunt “explode like a plasma grenade” when killed....

Smooth as silk Nvidia’s new graphics cards are beefy. We learned at last week’s reveal that they perform better than the $1000 Titan X and cost several hundred dollars less. It’s a fine development for the PC gaming crowd. One way to put into perspective what the GTX 1080 is capable of would be to show it running a popular upcoming game. That’s what id Software did withDoom. We’ve seenplenty ofDoomfootagein recent months, but never like this....

Final Fantasy XIVis known for its raiding community, who take part inNormal, Savage and Ultimate raidsfor intense challenges and endgame rewards. However, there is another type of Raid, more suited to players who prefer a lower-pressure environment but with all of the flashy fights — Alliance Raids. Alliance Raids are heavily story-based duties designed for 24 players in three, full parties of eight. Not only do Alliance Raids often have sought-after rewards, like gear perfect for late-game or glamour, but they have arguably the most epic narrative outside of the MSQ in any expansion....

Recently, I’ve been trying to finish upDead Space. I made it to the ninth level before having to quit to review the mess of other games that came out this fall. Because of an issue beyond my control, I lost my all my saves on my Xbox 360. The end result is that I have to play through the vast majority of the game over again. I was angry about it until a few minutes ago, when I noticed something amazing....

Remember that insanely awesome pixel art posterwe showed you recently? Well that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to artistic talent within the Dtoid community. Realizing this, Jonathan Holmes came up with a fantastic idea that made the rest of us all slap our foreheads in unison: let’s assign a monthly art project for the community! So starting in May, we’ll be hosting a month-long call for submissions to make sure all you fledgling Bob Ross-types get the attention you so deserve!...

Hogwarts just wouldn’t be complete without a Weasley within its walls… When it comes to the book and film character lineup for the originalHarry Potterseries, it would be easy to say, at a glance, that half of them all belong to the Weasley family. It’s probably fair to say that no family plays a greater role throughout all seven books and eight films than this quirky Irish ensemble. Of the bunch though, Ron Weasley himself stands out prominently, as the best friend of the boy who lived....

I love me some ‘next gen’ branding Back in 1996, the Nintendo 64 was an exciting time of innovation and the introduction of 3D graphics for a lot of people. Nintendo partnered up with Silicon Graphics to help develop the N64 and it would go on to have a solid library of games. However, I’d be lying if I told you their idea for a controller was great. I personally think the N64 trident monstrosity is up there as one of the worst controllers nowadays....
