With all the hype about the Halo: Reach beta, sometimes I almost forget that Bungie's making an actual game.

News Blips:

Bungie plans to release new Halo: Reach info, images, and video every Friday until the game's debut in April. Interested parties should keep an eye on Bungie.net beginning tomorrow for new details about the game's different features and multiplayer experience. I think they should do this on Mondays instead, so people could be more excited to start the week. 

Speaking to Now Gamer, Infinity Ward Community Manager Robert Bowling feels that the $15 Stimulus Package maps for Modern Warfare 2 are worth the cost. Bowling has "no doubt that anyone who downloads this map pack is going to get their money's worth," as he argues that the extra levels will add plenty of replay value to the game for those who play multiplayer every night, like he does. I could make fun of the absurdity of the comment, but really, what's he supposed to say? Yeah, I know charging that much money for maps is kind of a rip-off, but you know you're going to buy it, anyway.
