Without exaggeration, the Halo franchise has been one of Xbox's biggest system sellers.  After the announcement that Bungie Studios would be hanging up their green power armor, many gamers have been left wondering what's in store for the Halo universe. We got our answer last E3 with a short debut trailer showing off a newly awakened Master Chief answering a call to action against an unknown and imposing enemy. Since then 343 has taken up the mantle for the next proper franchise entry, ‘Halo 4', and news has been slowly trickling out as it nears its fall launch. We got our quick look at the Chief but one of the best things about Halo, and its sequels, was its amazing sound and score.

News broke this morning, via HaloWaypoint, that Neil Davidge is scoring ‘Halo 4'. You probably know Mr. Davidge best as producing and co-writing several albums for Massive Attack, but he's also worked on several high profile television shows and movies such as ‘Clash of the Titans', although this will be his first video game entry. Recently, Mr. Davidge took a few moments out of his busy schedule to talk to Multiplayer about his love for Halo and how you'll experience the game through your ears. We also have a couple of behind the scenes clips that show a bit of the work that goes into scoring a game of this magnitude. Check out the full interview and clips after the jump.

It looks like Capcom wasn't holding back when they released the above trailer for Resident Evil 6 yesterday during their Captivate event. New characters are introduced, some familiar names pop up, and we've got more details about the story of the new outbreak than we had before as Capcom has seemingly opted to put all of their cards on the table six months out from the game's release.

So let's pick through the trailer and see what Capcom's putting out there for us this time around and maybe guess at what other new mysteries they have in store.

It's not so much "what games are coming out this week" as "what else besides FEZ" is coming out this week as the anticipated—let's say "coveted"—release from Polytron makes its debut on XBLA on Friday. But that's not doing justice to this week's other releases which include indie fighting game Skullgirls and the spiritual successor to Fatal Frame, Spirit Camera.

The last three story years of the Harry Potter saga are some of the most complex and emotionally fraught in the series of novels and films. So it has to be a real challenge for developer Traveller's Tales to distill all of that down into a LEGO-ized version of death and misery of Harry's fifth through seventh years at Hogwarts, right? Well, as is their habit, the people behind LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones are able to smooth over the darker elements for these games skewed towards younger players, but there's a weird sort of compression to the story and connected gameplay that makes LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 feel a little jumbled, losing some of the magic of the original stories.
