Halo: The Master Chief Collection finally launched, but it wasn't quite with confetti and rainbows. The game had a few trips and stumbles out of the gate, but no where near as bad as Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity. The next-gen only open-world assassin game got caught with its pants down and all its glitchy junk was left to hang wide out in the open.

It's definitely a lot later than the 2014 release we had originally been expecting, but better a quality game arriving late than a rushed game arriving early (here's looking at you Assassin's Creed Unity). These stories and more in this November 15th, 2014 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
