Year: 2003

Likely, anybody who went poking around after downloading the clips alraeady saw this… but we figured we should mention it, just for completeness’ sake. IGN posted their demo impressions late last night. Man, even after seeing the trailer, I’m droolin’ over the writeup. Check it out.

To all the people sending in versions of the Gamespot/IGN movies, for wider distribution, two things:It is totally against our policy to distribute material that is restricted by its owner.It’s totally unclear to me whether Gamespot and IGN even had PERMISSION to tape the press conference footage last night… the release I saw stated ‘no…

Okay, everyone’s jonesin’ for some Halo 2 goodness, and not everyone’s gettin’ their fix… but the old world must go on, as well. Mythica’s server load is back down to human levels, so it’s time to release another movie. This one’s called ‘Bein’ Green’ – and it sets some basic MC action to a backdrop…

If you’ve got a PC, and you’d like to hear a live interview with Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox (the folks bringing you PC Halo), then stop by Gamespy, pick up a copy of the Gamespy Arcade software (Windows only), and tune in tomorrow morning at 11 am pacific (18:00 UTC) for the goodness. If…

For those not willing (or able) to download the IGN or Gamespot full trailers, and not happy about waiting until the web version is released to the world, we’ve put together a transcript of the dialogue. There are a few holes (and we’re happy to get submissions to fill them), but all in all, it’ll…

More Gamespot Halo 2 coverage: there’s a Halo 2 Impressions article (you can compare it to mnemesis’ piece here) and two new Halo 2 trailers – one for basic subscribers, one for paying subscribers. Unfortunately, the video downloads REQUIRE a PC – they’re handled by a protected delivery system that has no Macintosh software available.…

Recently, there has been some discussion about a pair of screenshots for PC Halo that have appeared (one each) in the current issues of Computer Games Magazine and Computer Gaming Monthly. For those who can’t wait until June for us to post the press scans, the shots are now online at Microsoft’s PC Halo site:…

Gamespot has posted 6 spankin’ new screenshots of Halo 2 – and all I can say is, bumpmapping is astounding stuff. You must see these. Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up. Update: these images are also available (at a smaller size, but without the gamespot imprint) from the IGN media page.

For those of you who want a more in-depth description of the teaser itself, our very own mnemesis was there… and wrote up his impressions a couple of hours ago. There are no pictures, other than the ones his words will paint in your mind… but for those who have to wait to see the…

The lucky few are staggering home from E3 right now (it’s 10PM PST), and they’re bringing Halo-related goodness with them. First up are reports from Microsoft’s press conference, by GamerFeed (thanks Zeegs) and Gamespot (thanks Darkstar). Secondly, KookyBastard discovered that Microsoft’s Halo PC page has gone live, with a ton of new stuff (beyond what…

The timing isn’t great, since the webcam is offline for a little bit, but Joshua Pettigrew has created a pretty cool widget for use with a wicked-cool program called Konfabulator that puts the Bungie Webcam image into a free-floating frame on your desktop, no browser required. Konfabulator runs only on MacOSX – so if you’re…

Shishka pokes fun at the Megg searchers (and does unspeakable things to Gawyn’s body parts) in the latest Subnova comic. Check it out!

Just a quick note to let folks know that we’ve received the early-bird entries for the contest and have chosen the ones we can haul across the country to the Fanfest this week. (Some of them are actually being delivered to HBO West, and won’t need hauling at all.) We’d just like to say that…

Maverick J points out an online tourney (on XboxConnect) being organized by Project Spartan. The contest is to be held on May 17th, and currently has 10 2-man teams signed up. Read the post (or visit the site) for more details.

Wowowow. The promised Gamespy Halo PC article went online early this morning… and I’m still reeling. (There are actually two articles – the main one, and a separate one on the new multiplayer features available in the PC version.) Release date is tentatively August or September… and it’s gonna be a winner. The 10 campaign…
