  • Killzone 2 Demo To Kill Halo 3 Beta Buzz?

    Kotaku is reporting that a playable demo of the second installment in Sony’s Halo-killer-wannabe Killzone franchise will be available before Bungie hits Xbox Live with its extensive Halo 3 Multiplayer Public Beta. Kotaku heard it from über Halo fan Luke Smith at 1UP, and I heard it from P_40E in #hbo.

  • Halo On A Desert Island

    Zombie Studio’s Mark Long chooses his “games for a desert island” in a piece at Gamasutra today. Not surprisingly, for its cooperative play mode, Halo gets the nod: Halo 1, that is: Is there anything better in the world than playing Halo co-op? No there is not; you don’t even need to think about that…

  • Bungie Pentathlon: Winter ’07

    Bungie knows how to throw a party. A party for huge geeks with no lives and low beer tolerance, but one hell of a party nonetheless. Read on for the scoop on Bungie’s Winter Pentathlon 2007 and all of the events therein.

    Today’s One One Se7en should have gone live a few hours ago – I hate when real life gets in the way of humor. Still funny, though, if you spend a few minutes browsing our forum…(Louis Wu 21:56:18 UTC)

  • Fireteam Bravo Trailer

    by

    in

    QuickTactical pointed out a trailer for an upcoming machinima project, ‘Fireteam Bravo’. His forum post contains links to a WMP9 version and a streaming YouTube version – and I liked it enough that we’re hosting a mirror of the WMP9, as well as a QuickTime version. Short, sweet, nice action, nice camerawork. About 16 mb.…

  • Halo: Halos in Space the Movie

    in

    A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned a pretty funny presentation of a Halo fanfic. Today, Turtle Mann stopped by our forum to let us know that SnowGlobe Pro has turned that story into a piece of Halo machinima. Should bring a smile or two to your face…(Louis Wu 21:46:29 UTC)

    For what it’s worth, halo3.com is now saying that Phase Two Registration is open. The servers are being hammered pretty hard – but this is the page you’ll eventually need to get to. Good luck.(Louis Wu 18:47:11 UTC)

  • PIE Chapter 3

    in

    SodaGod has released PIE: Chapter 3, the third installment of one of the better machinima projects I’ve seen to date. Watch it carefully – it might confuse you. It’s worth the time, though – cinematography, storyline, voice acting – it’s all top-notch. 11+ minutes, almost 100 mb. It’s available in WMP9 format (either from us…

  • How You’ll Download Halo 3 Beta via Crackdown

    Initially, I had wondered if you would download the beta by entering a redemption code in the XBL marketplace. It appears the above pic is the definitive answer. Apparently in the “downloads” section of the Crackdown menu you’ll find the option to download the Halo 3 beta. This answers a couple of minor, nagging questions.…

    The art submissions have been building up since late November; as always, I apologize for the tardiness. Swing by the Miscellaneous Art section for 72 new entries – 95 pictures in all. As always, there’s a bunch of spectacular stuff in there (along with artwork which shows more love and enthusiasm than, say, raw talent…
