Game Break

This video was great, I think anybody would like this whether they are a Halo fan or not. Great funny commentary throughout the video which I found interesting not just as a Halo fan but as a video game fan. Now for some details on this video;

This is a movie done at E3 Fanfest with 4 Bungie employees (Marty O'donnell, Shikai Wang, Rob Mclees, and Paul Russell) that takes a look at some of the early builds of Halo complete with witty commentary.

Shown in the movie is Halo during its earlier stages, when it was still being developed as a Myth-like RTS. Later stages show it as an over-the-shoulder 3rd person shooter, complete with the Master Chief riding a lizard that looks suspiciously like a Chocobo.

Bungie made it clear it would never see the light of day, as far as the general public was concerned. They DID allow a shakeycam version to be filmed that night, though, and that movie's been out for almost 2 years now. The April 2004 issue of PC Gamer UK has this film on its bundled disc. Which is most likely where this Google Video version is from.

Good stuff, at least I think so. In researching this video I first 'googled' it which is where I found all my info but I also checked the major blogs and I couldn't find any mention of this video at all, just in forums.

Where did I find it? Just one of those one search leads to another kind of deals. I want to point out where I got the info for this video, and here they are;
