Hehe I just found this video on Youtube. I never realised Halo was made by Nintendo...

The Legend of Halo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(video_game_series)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungie_Studios

I wouldnt call that a nintendo product
Halo is Bungie, and Bungie is M$ (probably why i didnt really like it much)

Old school...

My friends around here went to some state Halo championship and came in 2nd and 3d; they still love it. I liked it on the PC, but I've got no skill on a controller. WADS man, I am.

Freelancer was interesting -- if they hadn't hyped it, it wouldn't of come up short on expectations, but the mod community (like many games) has really made it up.

Age of Empires was alright, and Flight Simulator can actually be used, with proper equipment, as an FAA-certified flight training device; I've helped people save some serious money on flight training with it.

I was going to close this off with mentioning my favorite game production house, but all the old school ones like Origin are gone, the guys that made the original StarCraft at Blizzard have looong since moved on.. Chris Taylor I suppose, but SupCom, while fun, well.. when you made the Model T on your first release, it's hard to one-up yourself.

Hmm.. Malfador Machinations ftw, I suppose.


Edit: It's somewhat amusing trying to see politicians use YouTube; almost wish they wouldn't try..

Ha, that's what I thought it was going to be. I actually have this mod on Halo Custom Edition. It's one of the more interesting mods for it, albeit pretty buggy.

(Epona behaves like a warthog so that's pretty hard to get used to )

I've never played Halo - or this mod for that matter - so I wouldn't know how good this mod was.

Still, it's Zelda...Nintendo made Zelda...so this mod was made by Nintendo. That's as far as my sense of logic stretches, ventrion.

I love the look of this mod!!! Zelda's never had multiplayer sothis is exactly what I would imagine it would be like!

Very cool. Good to see microsoft/ xbox stealing nintendo's ideas!

well its not like their entire product line is based off of stolen ideas ...

oh wait ...

The mod was user made guys. Microsoft had no (visible) part in this.

thank you. I was just about to slap someone.

So Microsoft didn't make it then?

no.

I have made Halo PC Mods before. Its not hard. In fact, Microsoft and Bungie make it VERY simple to make a mod for Halo. They give you all the tools and instructions you need.

Find me an industry that isn't

Edit: Almost as hard is to find any leading company that actually created their niche themselves versus taking the idea from an early pioneer, making it more efficient in a commercial sense, and then utterly destroying/buying out aforementioned pioneer.
