Halo

If you own an Xbox One and have enjoyed Halo in the past, Halo: Master Chief Collection is hands down the best value for your dollar you will find on the console. I think many would have paid nearly the retail price just for Halo 2: Anniversary Edition - which is the definitive version in this bundle - but to get Combat Evolved, Halo 3, and Halo 4 is a huge bonus. If you need something to play with friends this holiday season, look no further than this Halo collection which is sure to not disappoint.

I suppose you think Halo 5 was already announced and official, right? Well, technically it was. Microsoft confirmed that it existed and that there would one day be a Halo game taking advantage of Xbox One features - as if there was ever any doubt - but today they reconfirmed it by announcing it all over again. Halo 5: Guardians will be developed by 343 Industries and will be available for purchase in Fall 2015.

A user on Neogaf yesterday "announced" a series of Microsoft secrets, including Halo 2 Anniversary, Crackdown 3, a Titanfall console and a cheaper Xbox One without an optical disc drive. Naturally Microsoft was unhappy with this, and Kotaku claim an anonymous source tells them they'll be trying to discover the identity of the leaker, and punish him as much as the law allows.

There have been hits in the past that Microsoft might be looking to revisit Halo 2. November 2014 will be the tenth anniversary of the best-selling sequel, so some fans might be hoping that something happens, and that it lives up to their memory of that original Xbox game. A developer visiting Neogaf might just have outed the whole project, even down to the release date.

Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed II will be free at some point in the future, but not now. Instead, Microsoft are offering Defence Grid: The Awakening
