  • Edge blesses Halo

    A few months ago, Edge Magazine gave Halo a 10/10 rating – a score shared by only 3 other games in Edge’s history. Yesterday, Edge Awards 2002 went on sale in the UK… and Halo took a whole slew of honors:Game of the year, Halo :- “Halo works on so many levels and is simply…

  • Warthog 2k2 gets another mirror

    Xerxes, of Halo Orbit, writes to point out that they’ve mirrored the Warthog2k2 video from Nico D., posted a few weeks ago. Warthog jumping can be fun! (They’re also hosting the latest release of Counter-Strike, so the server might be a bit hard to reach at times…)

    That Weasel has mirrored 2 new movies, in 2 flavors each: The Halo Movie Teaser 3 is up in QT5 and WMP formats, and you’ll find a new encoding of the Pillar of Autumn with No Weapons there, as well. (The new WMP8 version there is 4.8 mb.) More mirrors, less waiting!

    News catch-up… Peter Haughie points out that the latest issue of Xgamer, a UK Xbox mag, has some speculation about a Halo 2 announcement at E3 next month (they state that ‘an inside source has confirmed that Halo 2 exists’):The timing is everything. Xbox is off to a rip-roaring start but Microsoft needs to keep…

  • Movies – they’re EVERYWHERE!

    Movie Madness!! Not one, but TWO new movies have been released – Brian Josselyn, of Blackstar Productions, has created his THIRD Halo Movie teaser (this one’s large-format, and very emotional); you can find it at his site, as well as mirrored at mythica.org… and a team composed of Bluespam, Tarrsk, and OSX2000 (all HBO forum…

  • Screens… lots of screens

    Slacking again… we’ve finally caught up on Halo Screenshots – four new collections have been added to the Screenshots Database. (Time to come up with a less awkward navigation system, I think…) The path to completeness continues.

  • Psyjnir Complex HL gets movies

    A boatload of movies have just been uploaded to the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server (in Halo -> Movies) – if you’re having trouble finding a film, this isn’t a bad place to start! (We’ll be adding more as time goes on.) Thanks, Psyrixx and *Ar!
