Halo tops the ZDNet favorite 3rd person game poll. Let’s keep it there! 🙂

And Steve Campbell reports hosting an 18 megabyte Sorensen-compressed version of the CGW movie on bungie.org’s Hotline server, hl.bungie.org. Go get it! Thanks, Steve.

To all those having serious trouble grabbing the CGW movie, Halo Central has added another mirror for the .avi version. (It’s better, anyway. 😉 ) Thanks, David!

This just in from Ferrex… bad news. Send him a nice note, cheer him up. We’re rooting for you, Ferrex!

We rocked the PCParadox poll… time to show ZDNet what we’re made of. Go vote for your favorite Third Person Game.

Kudos to Coldyx, who pointed out a new Gamespot UK preview! More new screens! Our cup runneth over! Pax.

That Noctavis sure is busy! New scans from the CGW article. Enjoy!

Thanks to Noctavis, who told us to distribute the new CGW movie. (The Core seems to be down.) You’ll find it in QT4 format, or zipped .avi, on our Movies page. (It’s 40 and 48 megs, respectively.) Enjoy!

This time we get to shoot! The Computer Gaming World “MWNY Halo movie” is now available for download at the Core. Kudos to Noctavis and Ferrex. 🙂 Pax.

Added two new desktop pics from Phillip Albanese to our Wallpaper page.

Moved Ian Jackson’s “Halo world” art to the Wallpaper page. Afterall they are desktop size.

Halo Art Director named! “I have been cleared to say that Marcus Lehto is our Art Director…” says Nathan Bitner in a Core forum post.

Searching for the meaning of Island Four? “Even in Niven’s case, the best ideas are stolen. The key is to find where they’re stolen from … from whose warped minds come the craziest ideas of REAL science-fiction to science-fact. Maybe that will guide you ..” says Nathan Bitner on our Forums. Pax.

Sending email to Nathan Bitner? Then read his email guidelines. And please follow them. Thanks. Pax.

Okay, if it weren’t from Bo, we’d have ignored this… but he gets a little latitude. 🙂 Enjoy.

Thanks to Dispatcher, who sent along news of this Raves and Craves review. Pax.

Something special coming on Tuesday? Freewill thinks so…
