Its the question thats asked by all. The question that guides the survivors of 815, and confounds them at every turn.

Hopefully an answer will be found when the show returns on April 24.

Screen legend Charleton Heston died Saturday April 5 in his home. He was 84.

After December’s Heroic map pack for Halo 3 went free last week, we’re now getting some news about the Legendary pack.

Well not huge news. A lot of this has been available on Bungie.net for a while. But we have this cool new trailer (above) to show off the Legendary Maps! To see exactly whats in there, take a look at Bungie’s info page. They’ll be coming for 800 MS Points (thats Ten bucks U$), and on Tax Day, April 15. What better way to celebrate a refund, or unload frustrations after paying!

Powet.TV will be hosting a “Legendary Brawl” night on the new maps with double EXP on April 19. Come join the fun!

Director Michael Bay has been hard at work on the sequel to 2007’s mega hit Transformers for some time. He’d scouted locations in Philadelphia and Washington DC and even Egypt. He got the ball rolling on preproduction while the writer’s strike was on so they could be ready to go as soon as the script was done.

Now the pieces are falling into place, and the stars of the show are being spotted in Culver City, California. Not Shia LaBeouf, John Turturro or Megan Fox, but the Transformers! Last week a motorist snapped photos of 3 Saleen Mustangs with the Barricade deco. Just this week SuperheroHype spotted Optimus Prime as well as Ironhide and Ratchet. Its a safe bet more cars are on the way, as we’re sure to see more Autobots and Decepticons join the battle for the sequel.

Also of note is filming is confirmed to be taking place in Sedona, Arizona and actress Natassia Malthe has been cast in an unspecified role.

A couple weeks ago I was invited to be an extra in Public Enemies, a new movie starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale and directed by Michael Mann. As you can probably guess I had quite an experience, which I’ve detailed all at The Daily Page.

Wii gamers who haven’t added a 360 or PS3 to their console cabinet can rejoice that Rock Band, the best reason to own a next gen console, is making its way to waggle town.
Good News: Its coming June 22 in the US for $169.99 Full press release follows after the jump.
Bad News: No song downloads. And no online play. All the friend codes in the world won’t help you now.
Worse News: Europe still has no release date for any system.
Strong bets are the Wii version is a port of the PS2 release, which also excluded the character customization. Harmonix insist it isn’t an idea they’ve given up on, but they’re hampered by Nintendo’s shortcomings in this arena.
There is only one way to save Rock Band on Wii, and thats to make all the in game characters into Miis. Yes, its no replacement for the online functionality that makes the game the sure hit, but it would at least play well to the Wii Sports audience. Also it wouldn’t hurt to ship the game in stereo sound, unlike Guitar Hero III.

Sega is guilty of not caring after its favorite son, Sonic. In fact the best game with Sonic in it in the last 5 years is probably Super Smash Bros Brawl, made by Nintendo.
The above video is not officially released by Sega, but accompanies the alleged Sonic Unleashed screenshots. It looks official enough to me, probably just waiting to be revealed at a press conference or by a magazine/site exclusive.
Whatever Sonic Unleashed is, it needs to be good. The GameBoy Advance and DS Sonic games have done well rehashing classic Genesis gameplay, but do little to advance the franchise. Sonic Unleashed is supposedly for Xbox 360 and PS3 and could be somewhat similar to last year’s Wii Sonic game (which wasn’t met with great reception, but wasn’t really bad either)
