Rare fails ... at Halo 3

During this week's Halo 3 Humpday Challenge, Bungie, formerly of the Microsoft camp, took on Rare, still of the Microsoft camp. Maybe someone should have told Rare that winning could secure them freedom because based on the results Rare didn't bring any passion to the party.
Actually they took Bungie out to town like a cheap prom date in the last round, but their performance reminds us of their game portfolio if you turn it upside down. From the awesomeness of their classic library to craptastic games like Grabbed by the Ghoulies. In the description of the epic battle, Bungie's Luke Smith does refer to the Rare team as creators of the upcoming Banjo-Threeie, which could have been slipped by Rare who have yet to confirm the name of the third installment of the popular platform title -- unless you count the end of Banjo-Tooie. The breakdown is an interesting and entertaining read and any Halo 3 or Rare fan should check it out.

I stil think one of the best 360 games is Viva Piniata. It's just to bad it was so kiddy looking, it had some incredibly deep and rewarding gameplay as well as a suprisingly good sense of humor.

Uhm this is kinda weird but your wrong about it not being confirmed. Shane Kim confirmed Banjo 3 for this year, and there was an announcement trailer for it a few years ago (the one with the blueprints).
Funnier thing is, you guys recently reported the Shane Kim story. Your slipping X3F!

@Hooligunn: Uh read the story again there buddy. We know the GAME is confirmed, we're talking about the NAME of the game.
Reading carefully = Win
@ogvor: I didn't include Viva Pinata in this post because I actually really like it too.
@GbG Fans: Wow. You were the two units that game sold! :)
