Halo writer joins Amazon

Master Chief is gonna be an Amazon spokesperson now. "I ordered my heavy battle armor from Amazon. I got free shipping with my Prime membership, and it only took two days to arrive!"

What did Ouya do to deserve all this competition? All they wanted to do was make a home android based console that's dedicated to games. It was a good and original idea.

The small chance the Ouya had to succeed is now gone.

Halo: The Fall of Reach amazing book.

Amazon has took on Apple and Samsung with the Kindle Fire. The show a lot of guts with that and now going against Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo in the gaming sphere. I think what they will do though is more niche than anything. I can see it being more popular than the Ouya.

Amazon is my favorite place to show online and over any retailers but I wasn't interested in their tablets and won't be with their consoles. PS4 and XB1 FTW!

Yeah.... every big corporation wanting to cash in on the growing gaming market... Because that never lead to a video game crash before, right? Oh wait....

Amazon, a company that desperately aims for revenue growth even as earnings decline. Not surprised to see they have a game studio, since they just flail around trying everything. Hell, they'll probably get into the newspaper delivery business since Bezos bought the Washington Post.

Halo Fall of Reach was what turned me into a Halo fan.

The fall of reach book was amazing, he wrote such a epic story, loved the halo universe ever since

Halo is a great game! Move 20 feet, shoot bad guys, move 20 feet shoot bad guys...

great writer, hope he will be behind some great new titles.

He's a great writer. His books had too much military jargon for my taste, and I prefer the latest novels, but they were still awesome books.

Amazon has a gaming studio?

i want him to give me tips. i want to write amazing stories

Cool I read Ghosts of Onyx and I really enjoyed it! He's a great author.

Jesus christ, I hope amazon doesn't let him anywhere *near* the marketing dept.

Anyone who says Halo has no story or has a shit story has never read the books or played a Halo game, trolls are everywhere.

His Halo books were outstanding, much better than recent ones.

Those two books were amazing!

Amazons working on a console now?here comes the video crash again.there are way too many people making video games and consoles that the bubble will burst.

I never knew Amazon had a game studio

Amazon Game Studios?

Come on Eddie. You need something better than this for troll bait for the weekend.

Getting pigeonholed into writing only one story for the rest of your life due to corporate greed rather than actual vision for the series or going for new opportunities in a blank-slate (but still large) company. It's a no-brainer when seen like this but I dunno about his personal circumstances, such a long tenure in a position like that could only end with some very good reasons.
