Back in March, we reported that Halo: Reach would be added to the Halo: The Master Chief Collection sometime this year. With just a few weeks left, 343 Industries is fulfilling that promise and Halo: Reach will arrive on the PC and Xbox One on December 3, 2019. On the PC side, this marks the first Master Chief Collection title to arrive on that platform, with the other games in that bundle arriving over the course of the next year.

Towards the end of the month I only have one thing on my mind; what do I get free next month with Games with Gold?  There has been a veritable co-opathon with this 360/One scheme and that is set to continue this September with three out of the four games featuring co-op.

If you don't want to wait for the Halo: Master Chief Collection when it's released this fall, you can get a jump on checking out and catching up on most of the Halo games available - sans the first two. Right now Gamestop is offering Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo ODST and Halo Reach for the low low price of just $17.99. That's four games for $18.

Nothing says end of an era more than a massive sale aimed at getting customers to buy up games they won't need once they have moved onto the One or PS4.  Call me cynical, but I don't mind when the games are this cheap.  This week sees a sale per day and a weekly sale on XBL, with up to 93% off games such as Portal 2, D&D: Daggerdale, Fable III and many others.

  Microsoft recently announced their XBOX Live Ultimate Sale event that will have 60 games going on sale over the next week.  Each day has a different set of games and today's starting offer is sure to interest co-op and Halo fans as it is a Master Chief bonanza.  Halo 3, Halo Wars and Halo Reach are all down to $9.99, whi...

Since the dawn of Halo 3, Forge Mode has been a massive hit between casual and professional players to make the perfect maps for any occasion. The question these days is, however, will Halo 4’s version hold its own compared to its predecessor’s?

Bungie are no longer the developers of the Halo franchise, but as one door closes another, in the form of 343 Industries' Halo 4, opens. Before bidding so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu to the Halo franchise, Bungie have released one last statistical overload.  Amongst the multiplayer stats (over 208 billion games played), are some co-op Firefight stats - 29 Billion kills, 350,405,511 games played, 12.8 Trillion points earned.  Check out Read More and open the gallery for a tiny version of this Halo stat orgy.  Or better yet, follow this link for the full image! 

This is one of those news posts that has that meta co-op element to it along side a real co-op element.  If it's been a while since you've played some Halo Reach, you might want to jump back in, as this year marks the 6th year for the Halo FLAG tournament.  Fight Like a Girl is a charity fund raising tournament where players compete against each via Xbox Live and raise money for Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer research.  

A new title update has been launched for Halo: Reach!  Who cares (I hear you ask) when Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is out November 15th?  Apart from the millions of people still regularly playing the game, co-op fans should also take note.  Some of you may remember the co-op controversy at launch, when owners of HDD free 360s could not play the game in co-op.  This has finally been fixed in the latest patch, along with a multitude of other tweaks and twiddles designed to draw Reach and Anniversary together.

Peter and Ruth have been waiting patiently to share their co-op experiences as our run of guest submissions continues! The co-op couple talks a bit about the game's they've been playing lately and why each one is great for a co-op couple.

This week we look at the bonding of a father and his son over a series - Halo. Sure Halo might not be the most family friendly game, after all, its rated M, but Marc will make the case on how it'll promote a healthy relationship in your family - and best of all - some great co-op play.
