Life goes, it's as simple as that, the slow march of time is one that none of us can avoid. Inevitably we all end up hanging on to that moment or two (or five or ten) that really left a sweet taste in our mouth. That moment when everything was just as it was meant to be and worry or doubt were laid to rest for a time.
As gamers, there inevitably are games that hit at the right time and place in our life where we can truly enjoy them to their fullest. What are yours?
When old-school arcade games invade, it's up to today's characters to stop them.
Wow. This clearly had a budget. And a stunt guy.

Halo: Spartan Assault will be abailable on Xbox One on December 24th, and Xbox 360 in January. Check out the release date trailer above.
Creating a living, breathing world in a video game is an arduous task. In such a painstaking, difficult process, there are always bound to be a few details that, whether unintentionally missed or intentionally ignored for the sake of time, are bound to slip through the cracks of the final cut. Some are never noticed, but the ones that are have a great chance of being hilarious.
Halo Forge mastermind xXHugabearXx
forged a custom Grifball level and game mode to mirror the infamous Harry Potter game Quidditch. Though, in this case players use jetpacks instead of broomsticks, but the rules of the Halo 5 Quidditch game are very similar to the original.
-Players are allotted three points for throwing the ball through one of the rival team's hoops, and one point for killing a player on the opposing team with a gravity hammer.
-The first team to hit 15 points is victorious.
Unfortunately, there's no version of the Golden Snitch in this game; and there's no assigned positions, but a team could definitely assign positions on their own. Players eager to try out this game mode in Halo 5: Guardians simply need search for the new level "Quidditch Arena' and the game mode "Quidditch."
Bonnie Ross, General Manager of 343 Industries announced it today saying,
I'm happy to reveal that "Halo 5: Guardians," the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every "Halo" game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.
"Halo 5: Guardians" is a bigger effort than "Halo 4." That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in what's now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we've invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One's hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.
It's a game that will hopefully demonstrate the talent, learnings and abilities of the 343 Industries team. A game that will incorporate the things we learned from "Halo 4" about technology, aesthetics, performance and scale – and perhaps more importantly, understanding and embracing a community of gamers who love what lies at the heart of this game, and the limitless potential of the "Halo" universe.
