• Halo Wedding: Steven Totilo of MTV Multiplayer reports that a Halo themed wedding successfully took place starring bride Desirai Labrada and groom John Henry.

  “The bride entered to the “Halo 3″ menu music. The backdrop of the ceremony was a basic recreation of the “Halo” map Ivory Tower. The groom had his “Halo” emblem on his tie; hers was on her dress sleeves. Their wedding favors were made to look like plasma grenades. And instead of being pronounced “man and wife,” Desirai and John were declared “teammates for life.”“
  

  
  Congrats to the teamates and may they have a prosperous and fun life together!

The CE for RE5 will include (aside from the awesome game) a Tricell messenger bag, Chris Redfield figurine, BSAA patch, Kijuju-inspired pendant, and a bonus disc.If there’s one thing I like more than extra stuff, its extra-stuff I’ll never use. Though the price seems good on this one and the African pendant is a plus.

The console now has an installed based of over 14.7 million.The money train doesn’t stop there though, as the DS sold 11.2 million (31 million overall) units last year, which now settles in as the most annual sales for a game system ever.Remember, this is only Europe folks, and its taking over like the Chimera in Resistance: Fall of Man. Man, I wish I invested in Nintendo stock during the GameCube era.
