Joe was born in a time of war. A console war. Two electronic titans were locked in a heated battle for the living rooms of America. Which titans, you ask? Well, the Fairchild Channel F and the Atari 2600 of course. You see, Joe is old. So many of his favorite games tend to be on the older side as well. But that hasn’t stopped him from developing unhealthy obsessions with such modern franchises as Halo and Mass Effect. Just don’t tell him how long it’s been since the original Metroid was released. His aging heart can’t take the shock.
Do you hear that low rumble in the distance? A faint whistle carried on the breeze? That’s the Halo 4 hype train, and it’s heading this way. It might sound far off now, but soon enough, it’ll be as loud as… well, a speeding train. The newest passenger onboard the hype train is a teaser trailer for the live action Halo series coming this fall, entitled Forward Unto Dawn. Read on for the details and the trailer.

Haven’t you ever wanted to get away from it all? To just turn off the outside world and find some friggin peace and quiet? Sure you have. We all have.

So I’m just gonna try to find some water, find some shade, and watch some more trailers. Read on to watch ’em with me.

Welcome to day two of Trailerpalooza. Much like the outdoor music festival from which I stole the name, day two was long, hot, and kinda smelly. Everyone was still pumped for the show, but fatigue was starting to sink in. And after a lukewarm set from Nintendo, the crowd almost rushed the stage. But the important thing is, we still have plenty of trailers for you, including some extended gameplay demos. So let’s get started!
