WRUP: Happy birthday edition

Filed under: X3F Features

This week marked the first birthday of Halo 3 and Bungie decided to celebrate by throwing a whole mess of new achievements into the game. Of course, they also decided to debut a new teaser trailer (analysis here) for the upcoming expansion to Halo 3, which is currently known only as "Keep It Clean." As such, we figure plenty of folks out there might be dusting off their copies of Halo 3 (and perhaps Halo 2) to recapture some of that Bungie magic. Then again, there are plenty of people who never stopped playing in the first place. Whether or not you choose to fire up some Halo this weekend, we must ask, as always, what will you be playing this weekend?
