My bad play on words aside, it is easily one of the most anticipated video games of not just the year, but possibly all-time. It is a prequel that takes a more in-depth look at the start of what has become one of the greatest video game canons to have ever been conceived. And with this being Bungie's last official foray into this space-age realm they've created for us, they wanted to make sure they went out with a bang. 

Of course, I am talking about Halo Reach. We are about seven weeks still from this being available far and wide, but I had a chance a couple of weeks ago to sit down with our old friend, Brian Jarrard, the Community Director for Bungie, to talk about what they've done specifically to make this the biggest and baddest Halo yet.

And so with no further delay, I am going to help start your mouth watering a little early for this sweet piece of gaming goodness by imploring you to check out my Halo Reach preview with Brian Jarrard, the Community Director for Bungie, below! 

This week I review Blur from Activision and X-Force Sex and Violence #1 (of 3) and talk about the unveiling of Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern costume. My hot chick pick of the week is Joanna Shari.        

Hey there everyone. Sorry this is a little later than normal. I've been under the weather lately. Anyway, this week I reviewed Tournament of Legends for Wii and Batman: Odyssey #1 (of 12). My hot chick pick of the week is Daisy Araujo. 
 
  

This week I reviewed Crackdown 2 for Xbox 360 and Astonishing X-Men #34. My hot chick pick of the week is Tehmeena Afzal.  
 
  

He revolutionized the extreme sports video game genre and put skateboarding on the map in a way no one else could. Of course, the only man I could be talking about is the legendary Tony Hawk.

I had a chance before E3 officially got underway, and Activision threw their mega-concert, to catch up with the skate legend and to talk to him about his new game coming out this fall, Tony Hawk's Shred from Activision. We also chatted about what he thought his legacy was and what it was like to turn the video game world on its head.

Check out my interview at E3 2010 with skate legend Tony Hawk below!  

This week I reviewed Green Lantern Corps #49 and Transformers: War for Cybertron. My hot chick pick of the week this week is Jennifer Walcott.   

I had a chance on the second day of E3 to speak with Joseph Olin, the President of the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, an organization whose primary purpose is to promote computer and video game entertainment.

Joseph and I talked about everything from the current and possible future states of the gaming industry to the influence sports and casual gaming has nowadays on gaming.

Shane Satterfield has been in gaming journalism for well over a decade and is currently the Editor-in-Chief of GameTrailers.com, so it was a nice chance for me to catch up with him at E3 and get his opinion on everything we were seeing at the show. As always, critiques and comments are always appreciated.
