Side-scrolling Halo XBLA game

Just for the laugh. We reckon this could be fun in a cheap and cheerful, pick-up and play kind of way, with a side-scrolling Master Chief going all guns blazing against the Covenant and the Flood. There'd be floaty jumping, all the weapons we know and love from the series spraying 2D Brutes and Elites with pretty laser beams and bullet streams. It won't be for everyone, and might even upset one or two Halo purists, but it could be, could be, a lot of fun. So obvious is this game idea that we're surprised it's not already out.

Halo space combat game

Halo isn't just about Master Chief hurling himself into a pack of Elites and showing them the meaning of pain. It's also about great giant spaceships ripping each other to shreds with massive cannons. Indeed much of the Covenant-Human war takes place in outer space - in-game cutscenes throughout the series have shown Master Chief flying through space from spaceship to planet and back again. The books go into great detail on epic space battles, detailing even the movement of the UNSC and Covenant fleets as they tussle for supremacy. We reckon there's scope for a game that sees you play the role of a Captain (think Captain Keyes from Halo: Combat Evolved) in the UNSC navy or a Prophet (think the Prophet of Truth) in the Covenant fleet, controlling scores of vessels in an effort to dominate the galaxy (and the Halo rings). It could be a pseudo RTS/Elite game that's heavy on strategy inspired by the ship battles in Creative Assembly's superb Empire: Total War game. This might be one for the hardcore, but it'd be welcome nonetheless.
