After last week’s devastating earthquake, there’s no easy way to address the turmoil going on through the Republic of Haiti, but developer Bungie is attempting to do its part by asking gamers to simply do what they do best. Game.

According to a post on the official Bungie website, the famed Halo developer is asking gamers to step up, “Be a Hero”, and help them help Haiti.

From the post:

We are rallying our fan community to show their support by playing Halo 3 or ODST online next Wednesday or Thursday while wearing a special emblem signifying your commitment to the cause. For every thousand heroes that participate, we will make a $100 donation on behalf of Bungie and our fan community to the Red Cross for Haiti relief efforts, up to a maximum of $77,000. All you have to do is don a special emblem and play a game online and know that you’ve done a small part to help those in need.

Please mark your calendars and help spread the word!

Nice. There are other ways to get involved too and you can get the details on that as well as the specifics of the above mentioned program by visiting this page on Bungie’s official website.

Thanks for sending this in darkNightDRAGON!
