Just a quick reminder to all fans of Masters of the Universe Classics. The reissue Skeletor’s second shipment will be going on sale today at Noon EST. Also keep in mind that this is only half of the full shipment so it will go very fast. Do not wait until later if you are even considering it!

Man that was a loaded headline. You get all that?

AC/DC are contributing what appears to be the entire soundtrack to the next Marvel motion picture. The above video is “Shoot To Thrill” which is a song that originally appeared on AC/DC’s Back In Black album (which most of you should own since its sold 49 million copies and sits behind Thriller as the #2 highest selling album). the album AC/DC: Iron Man will release on April 19, and has 15 tracks.

The video has some new footage not seen in existing trailers, and a lot of stuff we’ve seen. Its all intercut with a performance from AC/DC last month in Buenos Aires from December 2009.

Its unlikely that the whole movie will be filled with AC/DC songs, but “Back In Black” was a big part of the first Iron Man’s advertising and soundtrack so I guess they’re just trying to fill out some corporate cross promotional potential. Still, if you never bought and AC/DC record, this might not be a bad start.

GameInformer has been adding content to their site to match their cover story on Halo: Reach, and while screen shots and history lessons are cool, this video opens up a lot of info for fans.

Noble Team are indeed made up mostly of Spartan IIIs, who are a step down from the super solider Spartan IIs that Master Chief John 117 from the Halo Trilogy grew up from. The Spartan IIIs were cheaper to train and arm, and rely on team work without an onboard A.I. partner.

We also find see two new guns and learn that this sixth Halo game, the fourth on Xbox 360, will finally include the ability to RUN.

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

Duke Nukem. Halo. Call Of Duty. Resistance. Killzone. Goldeneye. Bioshock. Deus Ex. Quake. Timesplitters.

The list of great first person shooters goes on and on, and each game has left its own unique stamp on the genre, weather it’s the RPG-like stat progression of Bioshock and Deus Ex, the cinematic realism of Modern Warfare and Rainbow Six Vegas, the zaniness of Timesplitters and Duke Nukem, or the multiplayer action of Halo and Goldeneye. However, all of these games owe their existence and popularity to one name: Doom. While ID Software’s classic didn’t create the FPS genre (that honor many would say belongs to ID’s previous effort Wolfenstein 3D), it helped shape the face of the genre for years to come. This article will take a look at the classic and its impact on gaming.
