TheHalo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Soundtrackfeatures new orchestrations of the classicHalo: Combat Evolvedsoundtrack, originally scored by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori. There’s a newlimited edition green vinylsoundtrack available now. The run is only 2,000 units, so I’m sure they’ll go fast. Unfortunately we don’t have pictures of the actual vinyl. I’ve asked for them and will update this story when they arrive. I’m sure it’s a nice green. ThatHalo-ish radioactive green....

Details from Nintendo World Championship Tonight was the final event for theNintendo World Championships 2015. Over the course of the night (including anew game announcement), the field was whittled down to just two: John Numbers and Cosmo. The pair went up against one another inSuper Mario Maker. Those following closely along might notice this is a name change; it was originally announced as justMario Makerat last year’s E3. Given all of the new stuff in the game, it makes sense to add the “Super” moniker to the front....

Hands-on from PAX East This past weekend, I found myself running through the crowds of the PAX East show floor, pushing people out of the way to get to the Indie Megabooth, whereCosmic DJwas waiting for me. As a musician and a fan of music games I would have sought it out anyway. But I found out via Twitter that the game features a corgi, so I took off running....

The simplest way for a comic franchise to regain their foothold is generally to just reboot the story, hence the countless iterations of every hero. ForX-Men: Destinyhowever, they’re taking a slightly different path by not only creating a group of all new mutants, but also allowing players to customize those new heroes with some of their favorite classic powers. It’s got some real potential as anX-Menpseudo-RPG. The above trailer gives a quick glance at some of the game’s available powers and I must say, I don’t hate it....

Even thoughNo Rest for the Wickedhasn’t been trucking along as quickly as players hoped for, it’s a remarkable take on the classic hack ‘n’ slash formula that’s about to become better still. That’s right, folks: the long-awaited Pestilence/Breach update is finally on the horizon. This information comes from the recent 30-minuteNo Rest for the Wickedshowcase hosted on YouTube. Prominent members of the developer Moon Studios took to the camera to explain what’s been happening in the background and why the team’s been as quiet as it’s been over the past couple of months....

I got some hands-on experience with Microsoft Studios’Bloodforgetoday on the floor at PAX East and boy did I unload some stress. After days of walking around in circles, chatting with a thousand people, and eating overpriced cheeseburgers I’ve found my first PAX to be…quite exhausting. I savedBloodforgefor last thinking it would be a last bloody but enjoyable experience and I was quite right! Bloodforgeis set in a fairly typical ancient setting of myth and legend with an archetypal warrior named Crom, who is unleashed into a quest of vengeance unto those who destroyed his life....

Out today, shuts down entirely on May 5 Nioh, Team Ninja’s latest action romp that actually doesn’t look half bad, is getting a demo today. Not just any demo either — as this one will only be available for a limited time. Yep, you have from today until May 5 to grab it, and then it’ll be gone. The demo allows the use of the spear, axe, and katana weapon types....

BecauseAvowedhas been published by Xbox Game Studios, it’s currently not available to play on PS5. There’s hope the game will roll out for Sony’s system eventually, but, for now, at least, it’ll remain an Xbox exclusive. But if you really,reallywant to experience Obsidian’s latest RPG on your PlayStation, the best way you can achieve this is through mods on PC. Take, for example,this onefrom Nexus Mods user Chachinito, which replaces theAvowedsplash screen with the one for PlayStation Studios....

Last month, SCEE boss David Reevesconfirmedto Gamesindustry.biz that the PlayStation 3 was on schedule to launch in March of 2007. On hearing the news, the Europeans let out a continent-wide ‘meh’ (except in France, where it is reported that they let out a‘le meh’) and promptly went back to enjoying their socialized health care and old world culture. Gamesindustry.biz, who are always on the lookout for ways to make life in the PAL territories more difficult (see our expose next week that pins the Holocaust on them), has apparentlyspoken with TBWA, the ad agency behind all of thosebizarre,psuedo-hipads that Sony keeps pumping out, and TBWA seems to believe the March launch simply can not happen....

Aces Sometime this fall, UFO Interactive Games will be bringingRaiden Vto PS4 and PC (via Steam) asRaiden V: Director’s Cut. In an effort to entice fans to double dip (or sweeten the deal for people who don’t own an Xbox One),Director’s Cutwill include a bunch of new features that probably won’t amount to much, but definitely make the game sound bigger and better. For starters, cooperative play is now included. How that wasn’t included in the originalRaiden Vis beyond me....
