New desktop image from Wetslayer – you’ll find it in our Wallpaper section. (We’ve also added the ‘Obey Your Thirst’ shot that Subnova put up a couple of days ago.)

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…

Halo-game has mirrored the newest Halo movie teaser from Blackstar productions – we’ve created a mirror list for it; as more come in, we’ll add them. Off to update the movies page… Update: Not to be outdone, today’s other release, The Pillar of Autumn with No Weapons, has also acquired a mirror list. Collect the…

Thanks to Alan Wu, who noticed a third Halo Soundtrack sample at xbox.com. (Windows Media format,64 Kbps, just under a minute.) At this rate, the entire soundtrack will be released before the Soundtrack is available!

These are fantastic.

Today’s Fan Fiction:ODST Saga, part 4, by Robo42786 Fight for Death, part 1, by Jenova The Arden Landings, part 1 (rewritten), by MaxThndr (The rewritten piece is far enough away from the original that we’re going to leave both for now. That may change. 🙂 )

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…

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.

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!

Jason Pridgen drops off a new fanfic which takes a… rather different approach to life after Halo. Check out A Comedy of Peace, in our Fan Fiction section.

Ian Barnes, aka PanZer, has been working on a Fan Fiction series for a couple of months now. (Operation: False Prophets just got its ninth installment posted today.) He’s planning on printing the whole thing once it’s finished… and in anticipation, has created cover art. You can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Another pair of desktop images have come in – if you’re tired of the monochrome, staid variety, check these out. You’ll find ’em in our Wallpaper section.

Fan Fiction roundup – some fun stuff in here:The Long Ride Home, part 5, by Joshua Barreto GODS LOVE A TRYER, part 2, by Dee Pulled by author’s request Roughneck Two-Zero, part 6, by Anthony Coronado The Renegade Marines, part 14, by Shadow Operation False Prophets, part 9, by Ian Barnes Slowly but surely, working…

Heh – da5id noticed that the Bungie Store front page is up again (but requires a login to get past that screen) – shouldn’t be too long before this puppy is open!

We got word yesterday that Xbox Maniacs had put up a Halo review. (It was actually posted in early December, but we missed it.) It’s been added to the Reviews Database.

Subnova picked up an exclusive new desktop image with the help of Bungie – if you’ve finished the game, this is a great one. (If you haven’t, it’s rather spoileriffic.) It’s available in 1024×768 (160k) and 1920×1440 (308k) – and it’s pretty funny. (Visit the Easter Egg page if you don’t get the reference.) We’ll…

dogsounds sent us a note about an article on Halo at Bella Online, the website for Bella Magazine. Unusual for a women’s magazine, they’ve covered Halo, down to a (pretty basic) walkthrough. dogsounds had some problems with the language contained therein… but you can judge for yourself. His comment was:I get the feeling the reviewer…

Wow… a female marine concept sketch. (Okay, it’s more than a sketch.) Very nice work by Daniel.C. Check it out in our bulging Miscellaneous Art section.

Bob Henegar has created a replacement login screen for Windows XP, featuring the Master Chief. We’ve added it to our Miscellaneous Art section, for lack of a better place – a preview can be seen there. Enjoy!

ImmortalPain sends in three new sketches – one’s not as finished as he’d like, but they’re all still pretty impressive. Watch for spoilers. These can be found in our Miscellaneous Art section.
