It's been a few months since we've had a Halo Waypoint Co-Op Night, but we're back to our regularly scheduled programming with the event. This month marks the one year anniversary of Halo Wars, and we're celebrating the only way we know how - by playing it.

If you've missed out on some of the great co-op titles of this generation on the Xbox 360, now's your chance to pick a trio up for around $40. Amazon is running a promotion that includes 36 titles, 9 of which are co-op games, at a buy 2 get 1 free price. Most titles are $20 a piece.
It might be a good time to snag Resident Evil 5 with the upcoming DLC coming out, you'd be able to own the Gold Edition for a fraction of the cost.

We reported not too long ago that Halo Wars, in addition to a couple other co-op titles, went Platinum and was now available for the low, low price of $29.99. Well now Microsoft's sweetened the co-op pot by offering Halo Wars via download through its Games on Demand service. While the game may not have been as widely popular as its more traditional FPS brother, Halo 3: ODST, the game is one of only a few co-op titles we've reviewed that has received the full 5 out of 5 for its co-op score. All that co-op fun without ever having to leave the comfort of your home? Now that's a deal.

The 2009 co-op game of the year for us was Halo 3: ODST, but did it deserve it? Was there something social at play? A popular game or franchise is always likely to sell more copies than a new IP and as a result of this there are more people playing it, creating a phenomenon we call Co-opularity.

Three more co-op titles have landed on the XBox 360's Platinum Hits list: Fable 2, Gears of War, and Halo Wars. While we weren't too keen about the way co-op was handled in Fable 2, it was still a fun game in its own right and there may be some potential for a "save file tie-in" between Fable 2 and Fable 3. Halo Wars provides a very solid co-op RTS experience on the 360, with each player controlling their own troops but sharing the resources as they fight off the Covenant forces. As for Gears of War, it offers the same co-op experience as its successor, with a few great moments of its own. Each of these titles costs $29.99 so now may be a good time to use some of those lingering gift cards you got from Christmas.

You're probably thinking, hey, what's this? A toy? Isn't this a column about kid and family friendly video games? Well, yes, it is. But is there any thing more kid friendly than a toy? Certainly there is not, especially when the toy is based on a fantastic video game. As soon as we learned about the existence of Halo Wars Mega Bloks, it was a foregone conclusion that we'd own them. Building our own Halo vehicles, with adorable little soldiers inside, is a lot of fun, and was certainly a cooperative effort!

When Ensemble Studios, creators of Halo Wars, was closed a few projects went with it. Surprisingly one of those projects was another Halo title, though not much is known about it. These painting were from artist Dylan Cole and are listed as concept artwork for a cancelled title in the Halo Universe.
We do know Ensemble was working on a Halo MMO at one point, so most likely this beautiful cityscape was related to that. Still said to know the above shot will never get the full game treatment it deserves.

With the recent Xbox 360 price drop, retailers are going to be competing for your business. That means kick ass deals for you.

You choose and you also get free shipping!
If that's not your thing you can get the Xbox 360 Elite console for the new $299 price with one year of Xbox Live Gold for free!

Awww lookit the ittle bitty Elite!
I'm not quite sure how this one got past my radar. Halo Wars is the latest franchise getting its own construction toy treatment. Mega Bloks brings us the Halo Wars Authentic Collector's series. Right now, just a few sets are available, ranging from the Warthog, pictured above, to a sweet box including Hawk vs. Banshee, Aerial Assault.
As a Halo Wars fan, and a dad to a kid who has an unreasonable love for all things Halo, I was out on the hunt this past weekend. Only the big sets were to be found anywhere; my son wanted the Warthog badly. Alas, no luck anywhere. I have to admit, that Aerial Assault set is very, very tempting. Anyone else think Halo would make a fun LEGO style video game?
