Kombo’s Weekly Round-Up

Halo Reach Soldiers

The Halo: Reach review is here, and what more is there to say about this week in gaming news. It’s the big story of the week – yes, even eclipsing the release of NHL 11, and according to Mike, who was lucky enough to review the game, it’s a classic.  Be sure to check it out, and of course, be sure to catch up on all the news of the week. It was a doozy, from Nintendo’s Wii follow-up console to Arkham City details to a really special design analysis of God of War II. 

Check it out below in our weekly round-up (yes, I know, it’s a day late. I was at a football game yesterday, and I apologize profusely!)
