It’s a two-pronged assault to which even the biggest names in games have apparently no answer, say the worriers."

Blend Games recently spoke with Sobolov, whose voice is being featured in a new iTunes application called iMEvil."

""The major goal I had for the music of this game was to make players feel like they're in the same universe as the previous Halo titles, while at the same time pushing those edges out a little bit," says Rippy. "The tougher part was trying to nail that original sound, so with that in mind, I listened to the Halo soundtracks quite a bit before I started writing. In the end, I think there's a pretty good balance – hopefully fans of the previous work will agree!""
