David Bowman, Design Lead at Certain Affinity, dishes on the Age of Booty blog about their upcoming pirate-themed XBLA game of the same name (previously called Plunder) and some of its influences, including Settlers of Catan.
There is no release date yet, but the game is speculatively expected out in the second half of this year.
Bungie spinoff A Certain Affinity, last known for the last Halo 2 downloadable maps (Blastacular pack) that recreated the Halo 1 favorite Hang'em High, has announced a new title coming this summer for Xbox Live Arcade at PlayStation Network, according to EGM (via ShackNews).
Certain Affinity hasn't made an official announcement yet, but their news page does confirm that this isn't an early April Fool's joke (unlike Lego Halo).
Hey every1,

if you look closley, you can see an orange stripe around the hunters back waist area and around his neck. when the hunter has his back turned to you, shoot the orange stripe (with a pistol to make it look cooler) at the orange strip OR shoot it when the hunter turns to whack you if you hit him i9n the neck he will drop in one hit
Chad "Shishka" Armstrong, formerly Lorraine "Mehve" McLees' assistant at Bungie, has opened up a 1Up blog. His first significant post tells the story of how he got hired at Bungie and how that led to his current position at Certain Affinity
With the Public Beta fast approaching, there's even more Halo-related news spiraling out of Bungie and the community.
The Year We Make Contact
Ducain wrote to alert me of an update at Certain Affinity's site, and it's good news all around.
First off, they're passing around the news that Frankie at Bungie.net says the map downloading problems have been fixed.
Not an entire day has passed since the release of Tombstone, Certain Affinity's Halo 2 homage to the Halo 1 favorite Hang 'Em High, along with Desolation, their remake of Derelict, before the first cracks are being found.
April 4 2007 Eric Nylund author of the halo books announced that there will be at least 2 more books following ghosts of onyx they will be based on showing exactly what was going on every where else while master chief was off blowing up a covenate sacred ring and disabiling a covenate armada on his way back.
here is my source.

Surprise, surprise-- the new Halo 2 maps by Certain Affinity apparently won't be only for the Xbox 360, but will also run on the original console. Hang 'em High and Derelict are coming to the new engine as Tombstone and Desolation.
It has been confirmed that Kieth David (The Arbiter) has been put in the cast for halo 3. sothe Arbiter will return on halo 3 wether or not he is playable is yet to be discovered.
Is it really necessary to use Halo 2 maps to try and pressure more gamers onto the new platform? Is Halo 3 really so far away that you can't wait for that to draw gamers to the 360? Is two years really too long to support an online game?
If you want us to believe that original console owners really don't count, show us the numbers!
GhaleonB, via Louis Wu at HBO, points out that Microsoft has put out a nice press release (even attributed and with a dateline, thanks guys) touting the six million user milestone reached by Xbox Live.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love Xbox Live. While not an ardent online gamer, the service as a whole is well put togther and thought out: the integrated friends list and messaging, content downloads, gamerscore achievements; the works. The idea of separate friends lists for each game (Sony) and cryptic friend codes (Nintendo) really make me wonder what anybody else is thinking as far as online console gaming goes.
However, just because I've been a subscriber since Halo 2 launched doesn't mean I'm ready to drink whatever kool aid Microsoft is going to serve up regarding the service; and this press release is at least as interesting for what it doesn't say as for what it does say and the way it says it.
Max "Yeroen" Hoberman, Bungie alum and founder of Texas-based Certain Affinity, now working on new Halo 2 multiplayer maps for release next year, gave an interview to Firing Squad.
However, that's not all they're working on, apparently:
FiringSquad: You are also working on a new game. What can you tell us about this game at this stage?
