Year: 2002

IGN has posted its Overall Game of the Year – and unfortunately, it’s an Insider article. We can’t bring you all the commentary and discussion… at least not until it gets moved to the free part of the site. The bottom line, though, is that Halo took the honors, beating out Grand Theft Auto 3…

Bungie’s Truth and Reconciliation website has been updated – a new page of screenshots (MASSIVE spoilers for those who haven’t played, amazing demo of Bungie’s way-cool screenshot-taking technology for those who have), and a new section on the Outtakes page – including a music-less version of the big grunty thirst speech. (If you don’t know…

Interesting… 3DActionPlanet, usually busy covering games, has written a review of ‘Halo: The Fall of Reach’. They’re pretty impressed with the job the book does at explaining some of the backstory of the game:frankly, it should be included with every copy of Halo. Nice to see the book getting wider coverage! Thanks to Battleground: Halo…

IGN has put up their ‘Best Games of 2001′ feature, and Halo won both Editors’ and Readers’ Choice awards for Best Action Game. Nice! Thanks to Ruzhyo for the heads-up.

It’s been a long time coming… but we’ve begun to populate the Halo Easter Eggs page. At the moment, there’s just a single entry… but there are more coming. Be aware that ‘Easter Eggs’ will be pretty stringently defined – we’re not talking bugs, here, or weird behavior (they’ll go somewhere else in this same…

If you thought our speculation about the origins of the Carrier Form of the Flood were a bit off the wall, wait until you check the updated Flood Mechanics page – the REAL info is considerably stranger.

This came in a few days ago – I was out of town, on a slow connection, and I filed it. Then I forgot about it. Which is a shame… Team 7HR33 created a short (18 seconds, 2 mb) movie showing some VERY stylish hunter killin’. Coop play, one takes a hunter from the front,…

Curious about the Flood? Wondering what it is you’ve been shooting so much of? Thanks to the above-and-beyond help of Dave Candland, we’re able to bring you Flood Mechanics, a section devoted to the inner workings of the Halo’s most corrupted life forms. Obviously, this is chock-full of spoilers… but you wouldn’t even be reading…

Last week, Halo took GameFAQ’s Xbox Game of the Year daily poll, with 60% of the 16,000 votes cast. Currently, the poll of the day is ‘Overall Game of the Year’… and Halo is being trounced – a measly 5% of the 5500 votes cast so far puts it in 5th place (and only a…

Whoa – Team 7HR33 continues its groundbreaking ways, this time with a rather interesting picture. (You’ll find discussion of it in this forum thread.) Hummanahummanahummana…

strykerwolf continues his modeling ways… this time it’s the Master Chief. Check out the links in his forum post – they’re not ready for prime time at this stage, but Counter Strike might be gettin’ some Halo lovin’ soon!

A number of new submissions for the Halo Story page have been processed – speculation continues unabated, and the religious underpinnings of Halo become more and more clear. Check ’em out at the Halo Story page!

Wow. Over the past couple of years, there have been a number of posts concerning the various symbols visible in Halo (and a theory or two)… but never have they all been put together in so pretty a format as Team 7HR33 has done. Check it out! (We’ll be adding this to the Halo Story…

We’ve added the 23 new screens from the Computer and Video Games review mentioned earlier to the Screenshots database (as well as a funny screen created by Bungie for an article on the Seventh Column site last week – thanks to Freewill for reminding me about it). Remember – there are major spoilers in the…

Thanks to DT_Spike, who pointed out that Computer and Video Games put up a Halo review last week – we managed to miss it. It’s a pretty glowing review… but be warned, it’s FULL of spoilers (both in the review itself and in the accompanying screens). We’ve added it to the Reviews page here, and…

IGN has put up an Overall Game of the Year poll – see if you can help Halo rise to the top! Thanks to Adam Daniel for the heads-up.

Johnnycab & MuFF DaDDy spent a little time putting vehicles up in a tree on Blood Gulch, and were kind enough to send us the pics. You’ll find ’em in our Tips and Tricks section. (Yes, there are tips coming soon. I promise!)

Halo sighting at the Consumer Electronics show, held recently in Las Vegas – It’s a display for the Altec Lansing XA 3051 Dolby Digital 5.1 solution, aimed at gamers… and what better way to show it off? (Full-size image is here.) Thanks to Caerdwyn for the heads-up.

Brizzle sends in some very nice shots showing what you can put inside the Blood Gulch bases. Check ’em out in the Tips and Tricks section.

The Halo Story page has been updated with a number of items. There’s still more in the queue – if you sent in speculation, don’t worry, we haven’t lost it! Check out the news page for the latest.
