While the skills showcased in this Halo: Reach video are formidable, I'm sticking by my multiplayer mantra, summed up by this classic line from Army of Darkness: "Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."

Video Blips:

Bungie gives thanks to those who participated in the colossal Halo: Reach multiplayer beta by releasing this highlight video. I couldn't help cackling with glee at the awesome pistol scope kill at roughly 0:24.

Continue after the break for a rockin' Blur launch trailer, the latest addition in the how-to series of Backbreaker clips, and the scenery-changing debut trailer for Shaun White Skateboarding.

 

• Is Split/Second too fast for you? A pity, since Blur is equally fast and just as chaotic. I wonder when Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" will stop being synonymous with speedy cars. [YouTube]


• Can't sleep at night because you're thinking of all the ways your guys can tackle the other guys in Backbreaker? Me either. Granted, the intuitive-looking controls seem easy enough in comparison to that jumbled mess on the field.


• This debut trailer for Shaun White Skateboarding abstains from showing any in-game footage. Instead, we're treated with what appears to be a group of telekinetic skaters deforming the landscape to their whim. Curse you, rebellious youth! [GameTrailers]
