RUMOR #1: Bungie is making a Halo game for the Game Boy Advance.

Source: Too many to count.

The official story: "We can officially lay that rumor to rest."--a post on the official Bungie Web site.

What we heard: Last weekend forums were afire with word that Bungie was developing a version of Halo for the Game Boy Advance. Given the bitter GameCube/Xbox console war, a collaboration between Microsoft and Nintendo is "very unlikely," according to an official denial by Bungie of the GBA Halo's existence. Still, the rumors persisted, fueled by "visual evidence:" screenshots of a professional-looking side-scrolling shooter (pictured) showing the master chief battling Covenant Grunts and Elites. In fact, a side-scroller called Halo: Covenant is being developed--by a group of amateurs for the PC. Motivated by its creators' desire to "recreate the old passion for those long-gone arcade platforms," the game is an unofficial tribute to Halo, and will be free once it is complete. However, that may be a while, since the 2D 'scroller is only being worked on part-time, and won't be ready "when it's done."

Bogus or not bogus?: Bogus. The only way you can get a handheld Master Chief is by buying a Halo action figure.


Here is the official site of the game:

Several REAL screenshots
Try downloading the demo of the game
It is really bad, although the graphics are nice. The marines are supposed to help but they are half retarded
