Whoa… truth or fiction? We got this pic of a master chief model – it comes from a friend who works with ERTL toys. You make the call. (I hope it’s real!) Update: picture has been yanked; too much potential trouble for all involved. Sorry…

A couple of weeks ago, GamesRadar put up some teaser info from the most recent Edge magazine. Today, they put up a more meaty slice – go check it out! (Thanks to Griffon for the heads-up.)

At the request of a fan, Warbow has reversed his recently submitted wallpaper so that Mac users don’t have to cover the cool artwork with icons. You can find the new version in our Wallpaper section, too. Update: forgot to check the uploads directory – there’s one more wallpaper for you, from RAT 9.3, in…

Da Loaph found a rather unusual Halo review yesterday – it’s part of a site called Christian Spotlight, and focuses on how games fit into the Christian viewpoint. Halo got high marks for gameplay, but was heavily downgraded for the potentially anti-Christian messages implicit in the use of Christian ‘jargon’, and for the violence. We’ve…

Lots of art bits submitted recently. We’ll start with the miscellaneous art – there’s an airbrushed MC, a Halo box, and an MC with a sword, from XAL, Jack Smith, and Chris, respectively. You’ll find these in our Miscellaneous Art section. And then there’s a new banner in our Banners section, and two new logos…
