Newsflash:Red vs. Blue Comes to MarketplaceA gruff sergeant. An unlucky ghost. A psychotic mercenary. A sarcastic slacker. An unrepentant kiss-up. Two morons. A tank with impeccable manners. And a robot stuck on the Spanish setting … War is hell. In the distant future, ten soldiers battle for control of the least desirable piece of real estate in the known universe—a box canyon in the middle of nowhere. Red vs. Blue chronicles the misadventures of two hapless armies as they wage a war that few understand and no one wants to fight. Episodes of this innovative series are now available in Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for 80 Microsoft Points each. Red vs. Blue has been hailed by critics as the "first masterpiece of Machinima," a new form of storytelling that uses video game engines to produce animation. With a string of awards, rave reviews and features by The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, and many others, Red vs. Blue has grown to become one of the most popular comedy series on the Internet. The series is primarily produced using the machinima technique of synchronizing video footage from a game to recorded dialogue and other audio. The series footage is made from the multiplayer modes of Halo®: Combat Evolved and Halo® 2. |
