a couple of things I'd like to say:
What your talking about is called a portal, (I presume) which is easy to integrate into VB(this forum software).
Also, VB has a handy feature which grabs content from RSS feeds, and posts it as content, a good example of a forum that uses this method is newsforum(
http://www.newsforum.com), where the admin has setup a seperate account, which the forum uses to post news.
All the admin here would have to do is point the forum to a feed by a Halo related company, IE microsoft games / Xbox news etc. and the forum would post news from those feeds, which the portal could use as 'blogging' news.
Lastly I presume this should be in the feeback forum
