Halo Wars, a game that impressed me with its fantastic trailer, has been officially dated for March 3rd, 2009 release. The European release is February 26, 2009. Details for the limited edition version of the game have also been revealed, buyers will get a special in-game Honor Guard Wraith, a graphic novel, six Leader cards and a Spirit of Fire patch. Not sure what all that means, but they are also throwing in early access to the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack. Nice.

Not too often do we hear of a product that sounds damn near perfect with respect to execution and that “leet” factor we look for. Not too often does such a product come from an Internet company. We’re talking about the Kindle, the digital book and reading assistant from Amazon.com.
What Is the Amazon Kindle?
This gadget knows one thing, and only one thing: It is a device that allows its users to purchase books, magazines, newspapers, and blogs, and easily read them. It is a mobile library of 190,000 books (as boasted by Amazon) that is competitively unmatched by other devices.

We haven’t been asking our readers too many questions, so we’d like to know:
Whats on your wish list?
Simply take a second to leave a comment below and tell us whats on your wish list! We want to know what YOU think are the gadgets and things to be looking for this holiday season.
Mmm...
What’s on my list?
My list is quite extensive… no, not really. This holiday season is tough for me, because the things I want most are also things I am in need of. Every few years I get an urge to hold back on wishing for the latest gadgets, and actually wish for more constructive gifts - socks, underwear, Xbox 360.
Its true. My Xbox 360 has hit a point where, I just want to get one of the new ones. I paid the price for staying in line on day one when it released three years ago. My Xbox 360 has been replaced once already, however my current machine has problems loading discs and opening its disc tray. Not fun, folks.
What else is on my list? A new iPod Touch would be lovely. Or even that new Blackberry Storm. I’ll accept anything, really. Just send your gifts to 30 Twenty-Fifth… just kidding.
Seriously, what is on your list?

Riddick looks intriguing
Not too long ago (in a galaxy far far… never mind) there was a movie by the name of “The Chronicles of Riddick.” In the movie Richard Riddick, played by Vin Diesel, trys to elude capture by bounty hunters and the likes of others who want him dead. As with most movies trend today, the movie had also caught on for a video game adapted version where the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (for PC and Xbox) was born into existence.
The game faired very well compared to other heaping failures (Fight Club game? How about E.T.?) and has prompted Atari to come up with a sequel game that also looks great (and we hope it had better be, for the sake of Atari). The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Athena once again stars Vin Diesel as Riddick, and puts you on aboard the Dark Athena, a prisoner ship, and its bloodthirsty Captain Revas. The game uses a lot of content you may recognize from the previous game, but most importantly it is spankin new for current-generation consoles, and will also have multiplayer features.
Here is a juicy sweet trailer of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Athena, set to come out during the second quarter of 2009 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

LCD vs. Plasma
It’s that time of year again when shoppers flock to stores looking for gifts and discounts so they can fill their house with the latest and greatest. The holiday season is the time for stores to make money, and for you to save some money. Most importantly this is a time to finally get in touch with this high-definition movement that has been taking place the past 2 years. Since HD-DVD was killed, Blu-Ray has prevailed; it is now safe to get that flat screen TV you’ve been eying at in your neighbor’s house, and complement it with a new Blu-Ray player (keep checking back for our HD holiday guide!)
Another important note is that the FCC will stop broadcasting television analog signals next February and switch to all-digital. This means if your television works through antenna, it won’t once the switch is made. Many people are looking to upgrade their television along with their receiver, so we figured it would be a good idea to come out with our Holiday Guide #1: LCD or Plasma!

Halo Trilogy Soundtrack
I am a huge fan of the Halo soundtrack. Since Halo: Combat Evolved and continuing on to Halo 3, the in-game soundtrack has been superb in comparison to most other games. No other game developer had gone as far as Bungie has to create original music that immerses gamers into the action of the game. The each of the games in the Halo trilogy have unique sounds and feelings.
Coming tomorrow, December 2nd, the Halo Trilogy - The Complete Original Soundtracks will be available in retail stores. Directed by Bungie’s Martin O’Donnel, co-composed by Michael Salvatori, and released under Nile Rodger’s Sumthing Else Music Works, the complete soundtracks will consist of 5-discs, original music from each game including one extra DVD with footage of Halo Wars:
- Disc 1 – Halo: Combat Evolved Original Soundtrack
- Disc 2 – Halo 2 Original Soundtrack Volume Two
- Disc 3 – Halo Wars Bonus DVD
- Disc 4 – Halo 3 Original Soundtrack.
- Disc 5 – Halo 3 Original Soundtrack (cont’d)
The bonus DVD includes 4 preview tracks from the upcoming Halo Wars game by Ensemble Studios, a behind the scenes look at recording sessions, and “Five Long Years” opening cinematic of the Halo Wars campaign.
The soundtrack will sell for about $30 at retail shops. You can get a digital download of the soundtracks at SumthingDigital.com, or check out Amazon.com to get your copy. Here’s a small sample from the Halo 2 soundtrack, “Ghosts of Reach.”
If you’re a big fan of the Halo series, this soundtrack is definitely worth having in your collection. Alternatively, if you know someone else who is a fan, this could be a great gift for someone!

Terminator Salvation, the supposed sequel to Terminator 3, is on its way for May 2009. The movie is set to happen after Terminator 3 when, at the end, nuclear bombs are delivered by Skynet and the Terminators. The main character, John Connor, being played by Christian Bale, must once again fight against Skynet and lead a resistance for whats left of the human race. He must get to the heart of Skynet to save all mankind.
And no, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not in this one. He is too busy playing governor in California. Terminator 3 was good, but lacked anything really memorable. The movie was pure entertainment with little emotion — even when faced with the end of mankind, there was no connection at all with anything other then a “cool” factor. My guess, this movie will be similar. The world is supposed to have ended by now, I think…
Terminator is a sweet action movie, however. There is plenty of stunts, CG, and the movie’s characters are very in-depth which is hard for some action movies. The previous Terminator movies focused a lot about John Connor, and his motives, as well as his involvement with the future of mankind. If you haven’t seen the previous movies, you might be slightly lost with Salvation. Wait and find out, there will be plenty more information once the movie nears its release.
The official web site is at Sonypictures.net; the production has also been keeping a blog of the movie production. Read the blog at TerminatorSalvation.Warnerbros.com.
