At this point, I feel as if I’m going to explode from the Halo 4 hype.

I haven’t quite felt this much excitement for a title since Halo 3 five long years ago, and Halo 4 looks to be the best title in the series yet.

While we wind down the final days until we reunite with the Master Chief and kill all of our friends, it’s time to look to the past one more time.

Here is our third and final comparison between Halo 3, Reach, and Halo 4.

Go crazy over how good Halo 4 looks here!

During the event, Harvey Smith (co-creative director at Arkane Studios) and I sat down and had a lengthy discussion on Dishonored‘s design, development process and even all the way back to his early days working on Deus Ex.

I’m proud to say that I managed to somewhat stump him.

Harvey goes on to say that Dishonored breaks many – if not all – of the patterns you know in gaming.

Dig into Dishonored!

At this time of the year, the gaming industry grounds to a screeching halt.

For one week only, the entire industry looks at the Los Angeles Convention Center, where the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) takes place and every major publisher and developer collectively make announcements and show off new product.

Valve, similar to Rockstar and Bungie, are typically low-key at the event. Even this year, they simply have a booth and are not taking press appointments, which leads to the assumption that no major announcements will take place.

Instead, we’ve been left with one interesting tidbit that’ll undoubtedly set Team Fortress 2 fans – dare I say it – on fire.

Valve heats things up…
