Coinciding with the info avalanche at X10 , Bungie has released a new Halo: Reach video documentary (aka “ViDoc”) . There’s something for every Halo fan here: Spartan customization, new weapons, huge maps, new music, and plenty of human-on-alien warfare. A few things to look out for include a grenade launcher, stealth kills and a Spartan actually sprinting . You’ll even get an un-textured peek at the huge battles Bungie demonstrated during X10

It’s good to know that the end of the world will be running a little smoother in no time

Valve isn’t quite as against the idea of developing games for the PS3 as we previously thought. Speaking to Valve’s Doug Lombardi at the Left 4 Dead 2 event in London today (look out for the full interview soon), we discovered that the company is still “up on the idea” of developing for the PS3 — it’s just waiting until it has hired some decent PS3 coders. “If you look at The Orange Box — PC: 96 on Metacritic, 360: 96 on Metacritic, PS3 like… 84 or something
