The People's Gaming Awards - Go Vote
Voting for the Golden Joystick 2010 Awards is now open - Halo 3: ODST is up for Shooter of the Year and Soundtrack of the year, while Reach is in the running for One To Watch. Go vote! (Louis Wu 11:14:37 UTC) (permalink)
Reach completes... Bungie.
VideoGamer.com interviewed Joe Tung and Eric Osborne at E3 this week - space talk, Kinect and why it's not in Reach, a distinct lack of discussion about Master Chief, and more! A key tidbit (one focused on by VG.com, actually) is that nothing was cut this time around - all proposed features made the product's shipping featureset. This is potentially HUGE. Thanks, ElzarTheBam. (Louis Wu 11:08:55 UTC) (permalink)
