Halo fans, get ready for a treat. Yes, Halo is a console game but it was once considered a PC exclusive title, until MS got its hands on it. It comes as no surprise that the first game is considered – well, at least here in DSOG – the best part of the series with a memorable music and some amazing sequences. Let’s also not forget the ground-breaking E3 2000 demo and all those live-action films that have been produced these couple of years. Machinima has just posted the first part of the Halo 4: Froward Unto Dawn live-action web series, so waste no time and go ahead and watch it after the jump.

The war against Microsoft’s latest OS is going strong. A couple of days ago, Gabe Newell revealed that Windows 8 would be a catastrophe for game makers. Gabe believes that they (Valve) will lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market, and that margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. And that’s precisely why Valve is currently investing in Linux. But Newell is not the only one believing that Windows 8 will damage game developers. Continue reading Blizzard’s Rob Pardo and Markus ‘Notch’ Persson agree with Gabe Newell’s comments about Windows 8→

At that time, Peter had this huge desire to make something truly special, but he was being suffocated creatively a little bit. And naturally, the cancellation of Project Milo was a huge push on making that decision. Continue reading Peter Molyneux left Microsoft cause he was being suffocated creatively; not yet made his best game→
