So, What do you think? I think this is one of THE most different videos to ever have come from the Halo series that I have seen. Calm, but strikingly real. These are stories we hear today from WWII vets. So far, this has to be one of my favorite vids to come out promoting Halo 3. It's sheer simplicity and realism is truly spectacular. Hope you guys enjoyed this short brought to you by Halo 3. Be sure to leave some comments below.

It's hard to believe it, but it's almost time. With Halo 3 now completely finished and in the manufacturing stage, we only have about 20 more days before it releases. Are you ready to be surprised or do you want to know more about it so you can jump right in without reading the game booklet?

I'm not giving away any spoilers to the storyline because I've tried to stay away from that kind of info myself and I don't know anything. However, without going into every single possible detail, I will give you as much info as I can in terms of functions/options, weapons, vehicles, and more. Lots more. I'm not going to repeat myself so you'll have to re-read "Halo3: The Magazine Shelf" for a refresher.

**Not all information may be correct. However, we'll all know for sure when the game releases.

The Bad NewsTake Two, the division mainly in charge of Rockstar's soon to be Grand Theft Auto IV, has announced the games delay. Many speculations are blaming Sony for the delay due to the PS3's natural tendency to be difficult to develop games for. Although no problems have been mentioned about the Xbox360, the new release is set for some time in April 2008 for both consoles.The Good NewsIf you haven't heard already, Halo 3's previous planned release for November is now September 25. If you have heard this before, then I'm glad I wasted all the hype for last. Bungie has announced even more for Halo 3's arsenal. The incendiary grenade, which we will shorten to "molotov," is now the fourth grenade. As far as an actual weapon, we get to have a flamethrower. Learn more at Bungie.

So, After a few days delay, the Sign Ups for the first GGXP (Genisys Gaming Xbox Party) event are now open. There are a few ground rules, which will mostly be covered on the Rules and Regulations page you must agree to before actually signing up. At any means, let's go over some of the finer points of what's going down at the GGXP on this Friday, August 10, 2007.

The party will be starting up at 6:00 PM, so be there a bit early to get a good seat. The featured game will be, of course, Halo 2. Later, I will be adding to this invitation a list of the game types we will be playing, so you can look them up, research them, and even practice them. Altogether, we'll be having around three two-hour sessions. Each session will consist of approximately fifteen games at about eight minutes each. There will be a ten minute cool down for the equipment (and possibly for those gamers who get a little too excited) about every hour or so. That will give everyone a chance to grab something to drink or eat instead of fighting off the other team WHILE taking a drink. So, after about three sessions we'll start winding down and close up around 1:00 AM.

Just some other things to know, it's a BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller) party. If you don't have one to bring or really don't feel like bringing your own, we will have them available for a three dollar rental fee. Try not to abuse the handles though, their costly to replace and will make the rental price go up as well. Admission will be $15, this includes a free slice of pizza and a drink. There will also be refreshments available; such as chips, drinks, pizza, and other foods. We won't be price gouging like those big corporate theme parks. Just remember to bring a little extra for some food and drink through out the night.

Hey, Thanks for stopping by GenisysGaming.com. If you're here to reserve your place at a GGXP event, come back later this evening and the Event Sign Ups should be in place of this message. Sorry for the delay, but by this afternoon we should have everything ready for you to reserve your spot.
