Forza 2 video!

The videos of Forza 2 are still a bit rare, and even rarer are the videos who actually make me want to play the game. Well at least this new Pitpass certainly does a good job showing the visuals of th game, it's actually looking good! Thanks to Skate Zilla for the capture.

Possible Halo 3 packaging revealed for all editions?

Obsessed Halo fanboys will be excited to know that the picture above could be what their Halo 3 Legendary Edition will look like. Xboxygen posted what look to be renderings of Halo 3's retail packaging for the Legendary Edition as well as the Limited Edition. We're not sure where these images came from or how Xboxygen got their mitts on them, but they look somewhat professional and sort of legit. We'll be the first to say that if these are real, the dark and simplistic packaging is very sexy and anyone buying the Legendary Edition would be proud to showcase the box. But don't get your hopes up, because the packaging usually isn't shown until the release date nears and these renderings only use the limited amount of official Halo 3 material that has been released. These could have easily come from an evil photoshopper who has no regard for the Halo fanboy code, so take them for what they're worth. Check out more pictures after the break.

Halo 3 Could Ship in September

In an interview with 1up, Shane Kim has revealed that Microsoft won’t ship any first-party title in October, as that is the release month for Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV. That forces the software giant to release Project Gotham Racing 4 and Halo 3 in either September or November. Lost Odyssey has already been scheduled for release in December.

At first, it’d make sense to have PGR 4 launching in September and then Halo 3 coming out in its traditional November date. But as the general manager of Microsoft Game Studios points out, having Halo 3 coming in September could be an option.

"We don't tell Bungie when they have to ship Halo 3." Kim told 1up. "If they can get out before GTA4, they probably feel like that's better, sort of like Xbox 360 coming out before PlayStation 3."

Can Halo 3 sell well if it is released so early? Kim believes so.

"What happened in September of 2004? In September of 2004 we released Fable, Fable got big sales and then in November got big sales again," Kim said. "I just believe great titles can get the double bump and I think Halo 3 is going to be that."
