This might surprise a lot of people, but a stork doesn't bring video games. A lot of talented people actually get together in a room and hump. Nine months later, one of them pushes a game from between his or her legs. It's quite a beautiful little miracle.
Unseen 64 is a fantastic site dedicated to showing us the miracle of video game life. An ever growing collection of scans and screenshots of beta and unreleased games, it contains images of some of your favorites in forms you might not even recognize them. The image up there? Some game called Halo: Combat Evolved. Evolved indeed.
The site appears to be in Italian, but you don't need someone to tell you that early versions of Link from Ocarina of Time would make the baby Jesus cry. So go on. Spend three hours looking at the screen shots like I did. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

And man, I still remember the reactions when the screens for the GBC version of Resident Evil hit the news sites. That was an amusing week.
It was interesting to see the the games that started on one console them came out on a different one later on. Too Human on PS1, haha. and now its being talked about for the 360. it went from PS to gamecube, to xbox. now it is in limbo.
That site did remind me of mystical ninja starring goemon on the N64. GODFUCKINGDAMN does the VC need that game.
Bungie Studios later stated an even earlier development build of the game centered on real-time strategy and was "basically Myth in a sci-fi universe."[54]http://bungie.net/Inside/CustomPage.aspx?section=History&subsection=Main&page=6
Bungie has been working with Ensemble primarily in the area of the game's fiction to help inspire the story and ensure continuity with the existing Halo Universe. Aside from that, Ensemble is applying their skills to deliver a great Halo experience in a whole new genre, which is ironically where Halo began in the first place. If you've seen some of the very early Halo videos out there, you might recall that before it ever became an FPS, it was in fact designed as an RTS (building off of Bungie's experience with the Myth franchise). Now, many years later, Ensemble is able to take the franchise full circle and bring it back to the place where it all began.

The thing that surprised me was that Shenmue was originally going to be a Sega Saturn game and good looking for a Saturn game at that. Makes me want a third one so much more.
Seeing the screens of that Aliens FPS for ps2 made me depressed. The gaming world could always use another Aliens based fps.
oh well, down the highway I go...

Have a look for yourself and tell me if you see RTS in there somewhere. I remember watching this game back in 9th grade (around 1999) and the videos looked kick ass at the time. Especially the ones for the warthog and the banshee and ghost. Too bad the beam sword was dropped from the first Halo. I was really disappointed with how it turned out considering what it was supposed to be.
