I have been playing the Halo Reach Beta lately, and I decided to record some clips from it. However unlike last time, I have done some basic editing to bring you over 6 minutes of assorted beta footage. I might make a post later on with my impressions of the beta, but for now just enjoy the video. You can see some of the screenshots I have taken over in the gallery.
Celebrating the inclusion of Penumbra Overture in the Humble Indie Bundle, Frictional Games is running a pre-order sale on Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The game is 50% off until May 11th, bringing the price to just $10. This will will probably be the cheapest way to get your hands on Amnesia this year. Should Amnesia: The Dark Descent reach 2,000 pre-orders by May 31, Frictional will add a developer commentary track to the game.

Wolfire is running a charity-driven pay-what-you-want deal for a bundle of awesome Indie Games. I have previously played two of the games in the bundle (World of Goo & Penumbra), and both of them are professional quality and easily worth $20 each. In fact, Penumbra is one of my all time favorite survival horror games. I highly recommend taking advantage of this awesome deal. Act soon though, it ends on May 11th.
The games, which support PC, Mac, & Linux are: World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, & Penumbra: Overture.
The Humble Indie Bundle is a unique kind of bundle that we are trying out.
Pay what you want. If you bought these five games separately, it would cost around $80 but we’re letting you set the price!
All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We didn’t want to leave anyone out.
There is no middle-man. You can rest assured that 100% of your purchase goes directly to the developers and non-profits as you specify (minus credit card fees).
We don’t use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely.
Your contribution supports the amazing Child’s Play charity and Electronic Frontier Foundation. By default, the amount is split equally between the seven participants (including Child’s Play and EFF), but you can tweak the split any way you’d like.

At last Blizzard has committed to a date! Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty will be hitting retail shelves on July 27th. Want to buy the game directly from Blizzard’s website? You will have to wait “shortly after retail launch” to buy directly from them. Pre-order now from Amazon or Gamestop and get a beta key (while supplies last).
“We’ve been looking forward to revisiting the StarCraft universe for many years, and we’re excited that the time for that is almost here,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Thanks to our beta testers, we’re making great progress on the final stages of development, and we’ll be ready to welcome players all over the world to StarCraft II and the new Battle.net(R) in just a few months.”
It looks like I have some time to work on my skills (or lack thereof).
