A new trailer for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary debuted this morning. The video is heavy on story scenes and light on actual gameplay. Actually, it doesn’t show any gameplay at all.

Like a four year old buried in a leaf pile, the staff are dropped under a pile of fall gaming goodness. Whether it's a major release like Gears of War 3 or Battlefield 3, or a co-op board game like Pandemic. It seems like a good weekend to have the problem of "too many games" too - some of the United States is supposed to get snow which means a perfect time for staying indoors and playing.
