"Remember a while back when IGN Wii editor-in-chief Matt Casamassina made a blog post, claiming that he had played Halo on Nintendo DS? Well, he's updated his blog today with proof that such a game at one time really did exist.
You can check out two videos of the game in action below, as well as Matt explaining what's going on. In the video, Matt Casamassina and Mark Bozon demo what appears to be a DS version of the Halo 2 map Zanzibar (Last Stand in Halo 3), complete with dual wielding. Unfortunately, Halo DS was cancelled long ago, is no longer in development and no studio names have been mentioned as to who was behind it."
"Thanks to a helpful tipster, we have a couple of Best Buy documents showing a $399 Playstation 3 with 40GB disk and Spiderman 3 (yes, Blu-ray) bundle with an "In Stock Date" of October 28. "
Samurai Sword in Halo 3
Several people down at the High Impact Halo Forums have noticed that there is a player online who has a samurai sword attached to his back as if it were a secondary weapon.
Now, before you start declaring that it is shopped, please look closely as this is shown in two screenshots from different angles, plus it is hosted on the bungie.net website, so if it were a Photoshop, I’m sure it would be confirmed already.
Now the second possibility is that the modders are at it again! However this is not true because these screenshots were taken from a Xbox Live game. If this were a mod, Bungie and Microsoft would have already caught it. Not to mention the fact that there has been no progress on th Halo 3 modding scene as of today.
So with both of these possibilities crushed, the only other is that this is an extremely rare easter egg and this guy just happens to be one lucky SOB. He has all the achievements, is a Captain Grade 2, and is wearing Security shoulderpads + helmet and the Hayabusa armor.

"Truth really is stranger than fiction: not only has one former heavyweight champion managed to make a lucrative post-boxing career hawking electric cooking appliances, but now yet another former champ is throwing his proverbial apron into the ring with the release of Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Grill."
