Today we bring you new shots from 3D artists and CryEngine 3 modders Glode, scotthomer, Rens, chicken, QuadReaktor, ReVan1199, EliteGhost and i59.

YouTube’s member ‘devinsupertramp’ and his friends made an amazing live-action video that supposedly showcases an early verion of Halo 5 for X720. The costumes are a beauty to behold and we seriously think that these guys should use them to make a proper Halo movie. On the other hand, the commentary in this video sucks. It really, really, REALLY does. In fact, we’d advise you to watch the video in mute mode due to the awful commentator. Enjoy! Continue reading Halo 5 In Real Life – Fan-Made Live-Action Video→

Freddie Wong and his team have created an amazing video that puts old school characters (pixels, from the Atari era) with some new school characters, such as Lara Croft, Drake, Ezio and Masterchief.

It also reminded us of the mind-blowing ‘Pixels Attack New York’ video, therefore we decided to also include that video for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Continue reading Freddie Wong and RocketJump Released ‘Old School vs. New School’ – A Tribute To Gaming Legends→

We’ve seen Lara in a lot of violin covers for various games and she recently did a violin cover for Skyrim’s theme. It was cool, no doubt about that. But her new violin cover for Halo’s theme is simply fantastic. According to Lara, this has been quite a popular request lately and the backing is from Halo 2 (the original tune is one of the best games tunes ever and is from Martin O’Donnell & Michael Salvatori). Now there weren’t any sheets as she played it by ear, so kudos to her. Enjoy the video after the jump. Continue reading Amazing violin cover of the Halo theme by Lara→
