Geoff Keighly of Spike TV dropped the news on Twitter.

The world premiere of HALO: REACH happens only at the 2009 Video Game Awards, Live 12/12 on Spike.

That’ll probably get Spike some more viewers.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Halo back story, Reach is a Human planet where the Covenant (the alien bad guys) wiped out a huge part of our civilization by “glassing” the planet with their alien nukes.  Hence the tagline: “Falls 2010.”  It happened before the first Halo game.

There’s a great book (for those of us geek enough to read novels about Halo) called Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund that tells the whole story.  It’s a heck of a book, and I hope the game stays true to the storyline (or stays out of the direct plot of the book).
