The highly classified bio-augmentation procedure is a Spartan candidate’s final and most difficult ordeal before joining the ranks of the legendary soldiers. The dramatic interpretation of Carter’s rebirth as a Spartan embodies the themes of courage, sacrifice and honor in “Halo: Reach” and gives viewers a unique look into the origins of a central character in the upcoming blockbuster game.

The ad short will also premiere on April 28 in cinemas across North America in select theaters with screenings through the opening weekend of “Iron Man 2” and concludes on May 13.
“Birth of a Spartan” was directed by Noam Murro, the director of the 2008 feature film “Smart People” and numerous award-winning ad spots for Toshiba, Saturn, Volkswagen and more. The recipient of the Director’s Guild of America’s 2005 Director of the Year award, Murro was also recently named the U.K.’s #1 director by Campaign magazine. For production of the short, Microsoft partnered with Biscuit Filmworks Co., a production company Murro founded in 2000.
Developed by acclaimed studio Bungie, “Halo: Reach” launches this autumn exclusively on Xbox 360, and is available for pre-order today in standard, Limited and Legendary editions.

Codemasters Have Released New Screenshots And A Dev Dairy For F1 2010
Codemasters have released new screenshots and a new Dev Diary for F1 2010. the screenshots still show F1 cars with their 2009 liveries, but Codemasters say this is just for illustration. the screenshots appear to be in-game and come from a few tracks like Barcelona and Malaysia, they also show some different weather conditions as well as new camera view points.
Codemasters have also released a new Dev Dairy for F1 2010. this dev diary focuses on the handling of a F1 car, and details the differences between the handling of a F1 car and other motor vehicles, and what we can expect from the handling. the video shows new in-game footage, still with the 2009 liveries, to help explain the points made.

Press Release
Monday 26th April/... The car handling in F1 2010, the forthcoming official game of the 2010 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, will focus on simulation authenticity, developers Codemasters Studios revealed today in the second F1 2010 developer video, now available to view at www.formula1-game.com.
“The preference has always been to go down the simulation path,” said Stephen Hood, Chief Games Designer, “You can make a realistic sim easier to play for somebody but it’s very difficult to take an arcade handling system and make that appeal to people who prefer simulation handling.”
Taking FORMULA ONE™ fans further behind the scenes of F1 2010, the ‘Handling’ developer diary also features new gameplay footage and former FORMULA ONE test driver Anthony Davidson, discussing the development team’s aim to create the “most authentic experience possible.”
In the developer diary, Anthony Davidson, who has been embedded into the team, explains the unique ‘twitchy’ way in which FORMULA ONE cars handle and how this is translated into authentic gameplay. His experience, combined with real world data and feedback from the teams, drivers and tyre manufacturers is enabling the F1 2010 team to bring alive the sensation of being an FORMULA ONE racing driver like never before. As in real life, aerodynamics plays a pivotal role in racing, and players will feel how cars can corner at extremely high speed yet perform very differently at lower speeds.
FORMULA ONE fans can view the new developer diary at www.formula1-game.com, the home for all the latest screens, news and videos straight from the studio. F1 2010 is coming this September for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows®.

What Have You Played This Week?
I didn't play enough this week, just two games in total. The site kept me busy some days but general life just kept getting in the way and at the end of some days, I preferred to sit down with a movie rather than play a game.
Football Manager 10 – PC – Not only did I survive my first season in the premiership, I actually won it with Annan. I didn't even really try, things just seemed to work out that way for me. Well i'm making a bigger effort to buff up my team ready for the second season and to defend my title.
Unreal Tournament III – PS3 – I finally completed the games story mode. I had actually done this before, but this was before trophies were patched into the game. Its still fun and a good palette cleanser I feel if you've played too many shooters.
what have you been playing this week? feel free to add your weeks gaming selection in the comments, or comment on my selection for this week?
