Do you want to see something short and sweet based on Halo, particularly the Master Chief? Check out the 40-second animation below. I should mention that it’s new, too!

Fallout – The Revenant Series [Machinima]
If you are ever in the mood to watch something Fallout, in the Fallout: New Vegas & Fallout 4 engine, I have a trilogy for you. Now, these films are not the best from a technical level. The scenes are not the greatest, and the animations are questionable at best. However, the three movies are a very charming watch and contain a suitable amount of cheese and humor. The creator PulsarFusion did a good job writing the plot line for these three movies, which also respects the already established lore. You can say, these films are somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine.

Crysis: Legion is an adaptation of Crysis 2, which means it’s for the most part just a retelling of the plot line from the game. It’s not my favorite kind of gaming-related novel, since, well, you already know how it will play out and how it will finish. However, Crysis 2 is in a unique situation, as the lead in the game does not talk. Not exactly the best way to add characterization to the protagonist.

After going through a few more videos, here are two more short films (and one bonus) made by fans set in the excellent Half-Life universe. Both are excellent, but very different in execution. I would even argue that one of them is more on the artistic spectrum, while the other is direct in what it set out to depict – a brutal combat scenario between the resistance and the Combine foot soldiers. Enough of me babble, let’s get into it.

Got into the mood for some Half-Life action, since the universe Valve created is cool and fascinating – especially from a military sci-fi viewpoint. It also has clear horror elements sprinkled on top, when you consider the zombies, mind sucking aliens and general despair of humanity being on the brink of extermination. Everything to make it as fun as possible in what I would call a good time all around. Well, unless you are one of the characters stuck in this world, like the soldiers in LZ – Sparrow.
