Another Saturday has arrived, and with it another free episode of Halo Legends on the Xbox Live Marketplace. For 24 hours only (of course it won’t be on the internet afterward!), you can catch an anime’d up Master Chief delivering “The Package” with four “specially selected Spartans.”
Today’s episode is the first half of a two-parter (concluding on December 12), so be sure to catch it or be left lonely and confused when next week arrives. Or you could always just wait until the whole shebang arrives on Blu-ray this February 9.

If you enjoyed the Cowboy Bebop-meets-Master Chief action presented in the first episode of Halo Legends (seriously, that main character looked just like Spike Spiegel!), then you may want to check out the second episode of the Spartan-themed anime premiering today on Halo Waypoint. For 24 hours starting at 12:00AM PST (about eight hours ago), Xbox Live Silver and Gold members will be able to access “The Duel” through the “all-things-Halo” hub.
Microsoft also notes that this will be the last week for Xbox Live Silver members to explore Waypoint, and in turn, enjoy the weekly free episodes of Halo Legends. If you’re wondering what time the show will be available for you and you don’t live in North America, a full list of showtimes is available on Xbox.com.

Update: The episode is no longer available.
This is just a quick public service announcement to remind all the Halo fans out there today that the first episode of Halo Legends is available on Halo Waypoint today. Entitled “The Babysitter,” it tells the story of a squad of ODST soldiers on a mission to assassinate a Covenant Prophet. The only catch is that a Spartan has been assigned to lead the squad. ODSTs and Spartans don’t necessarily get along, so things get a little complicated.
The episode is only available today, so be sure to grab it quick. And remember, something related to Halo Legends will be airing on Waypoint every week, so keep an eye out for future installments.

Now that Halo Waypoint has launched and the Halo Legends anime project will soon begin airing on Xbox consoles everywhere, we got the chance to discuss the current state of Halo with 343 Industries creative director, Frank O’Connor. After the break, you’ll find discussion on Waypoint, Legends, Halo 3: ODST sales and whereabouts of Ryan Payton. We also talk about the whether or not there’s just too much Halo out there, whether we’ll see any Halo games for kids and we even squeeze in a question about Pimps at Sea.

We knew that the first installment of the
Halo Legends anime project was
debuting November 7 on
Halo Waypoint, but now Microsoft has
revealed the dates for most of the remaining episodes. Beyond Waypoint simply airing each episode,
Halo fans will also be treated to “making of” features for each episode. All told, you can expect
something related to
Legends every week from now until January 9, 2010 (and likely beyond, as there are still some episodes unrevealed). Grab your calendar and a nice permanent marker, then check out the schedule after the break.

Even if you’re not in the Halo Waypoint preview, you can get an early look at what’s going to be available when it launches for real on Thursday, November 5, thanks to a weekly schedule we received from 343 Industries. By Thursday’s launch, you’ll already be able to watch a “Spotlight on Louis Wu” and a “Halo in Five Minutes” presentation, as well as page through some Firefight screens from the community.
Other content up this week: “Welcome to Waypoint,” which serves as an introduction and overview to the service, some Firefight strategy from Prima, and, on Saturday, a full episode of Halo Legends called “The Babysitter.” See the full schedule after the break.

After yesterday’s full-fledged assault on mainstream gaming news coverage, we were refreshed to read this great USA Today report on the current state of the Halo franchise. Sure, it further promotes the tired opinion that Bungie’s ever-popular shooter is set to overtake the Star Wars franchise in the cultural marketplace. However, it backs up that assertion with startling figures: According to the report, Halo 3: ODST has sold 2.5 million units in the past two weeks, bringing the total sales for the entire franchise up to a cool 27 million.
Additionally, USA Today further supports its thesis by compiling a list of the future franchise spin-offs, including — *deep breath* — Halo: Reach, the Halo: Blood Line comic series, Halo Legends, Halo Waypoint, the Halo: Evolutions novel (and another heretofore unnamed book trilogy), and more McFarlane toys. Some may accuse this franchise of succumbing to over-saturation — we think it crossed that bridge around the time it got its own Mountain Dew.

Spike got a five-minute look at the upcoming anime Halo Legends, and (as you’ll see for yourself right after the break) it’s got all our favorite tropes of the genre: comically exaggerated animations, vaguely effeminate dudes and very weird-looking soups.
Of course, it’s also got something else that’s going to have your eyes glued to all 298 seconds: Master Chief being a total badass and kicking the living crap out of a Brute. Enjoy.

Halo.Bungie.Org has revealed that tonight’s episode of Spike TV’s Gametrailers TV will host previews of several upcoming Halo projects. The show, which airs tonight at (check your local listings), will feature a preview of Halo 3: ODST. While that’s not terribly exciting, given how close it is to release, the show will also be hosting footage from the first episode of the Halo Legends anime project. In addition, GTTV will be previewing Microsoft’s upcoming Halo destination, Halo Waypoint.
If you love all things Halo, be sure to tune in. Alternately, you could always wait until the footage lands on the internet sometime tomorrow. Sleep, or Halo? We know, it’s a tough question.

We know what you’re thinking. “Sure, I like how much of my life is devoted to keeping track of the different Halo properties, but if there were just one more, just a single other thing I could add to the pile, my life would really be complete.”
Tor Books answers the call today with Halo: Evolutions, featuring a number of new short stories from authors like Halo novelists Eric Nylund and Tobias Buckell, and Karen Traviss, who wrote Gears of War: Jacinto’s Remnant. We’re assuming F.X. Nine was otherwise occupied.
The book, which features “a wide variety of tales set across the span of the Halo universe,” will arrive this November 24.
