Did Some Kind of Halo Game Come Out Today?
What was it? Halo… Beach? Teach? Peach?
Oh, I’m kidding. Halo: Reach came out at last night at midnight, and besides getting some of the most consistently great reviews since the first Halo (meaning that even people who don’t automatically fawn over the franchise are saying’s it’s awesome), GameTrailers made one of their trailer collection videos of all the game’s great live-action and CG commercials. It’s well worth watching, even if you’re not a gamer, just to see badass nerd advertising in action.
