This is the latest in the Halo live action video series.

A veteran remembers the day he fought along side Master Chief.

After the rather laughable (literally) showing that was Land of the Dead, it’s not hard to believe that one of zombie master George Romero’s “Dead” flicks would be passed by the wayside. Although, this very well could have been the intention.

The new title, Diary of the Dead, is an independent member of the Dead series family, rather than it’s money-backed theatrically released siblings that was first released at the Toronto International Film Festival this past Saturday. The plot, which is said to be “non-realistic view of things” starts with students beginning to film a horror movie in the wilderness at the same time as the events of Night of the Living Dead, only to be attacked by zombies. Romero says that he aimed to have it be different from The Blair Witch Project in that it will give a different perspective of what happened that particular night other than that of the boarded-up farm house in the first movie.

Romero has stated that this movie will not in fact be the fifth installment to his series, but more of a side-story – “a rejigging of the myth” he quotes. Beyond it’s debut at the film festival, no other releases have been mentioned.

I’ve got at least one used-but-not-abused (well, slightly abused) kidney ready to sell for tickets if anyone is interested.
It looks like the late John Bonham’s son Jason will be joining the three remaining members of the band; Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones on stage for a one-time concert at London’s O2 arena. This will be the first time the three have played together in almost 20 years. Lord willing, it’ll spark off a full-fledged tour with at least a few shows in the states. BBC News has the full story here.
Now, about that kidney…

The Xbox 360 may not be doing too well in the land of the rising sun, but that didn’t stop Microsoft from making some killer announcements at the Tokyo Game Show. Besides the formal announcement of the exclusive Ninja Gaiden 2 (shock!) a handful of downloadable titles were announced for Xbox Live Arcade including Treasure’s critically acclaimed shooter Ikaruga and a new, high-definition version of Sega and United Game Artists’ Rez with full 5.1 audio! 1up has got the screenshots here, commence drooling!
