Hehe – Uncle Clive (a British gaming site) had its own recommendation for last week’s elections in Britain… it’s currently on the top of the page. Thanks, Lothar Hex.

Today’s One One Se7en explains a gameplay contrivance in a whole new light. No wonder the guy’s filled with rage!

Hehe – nice! 3Suns found a fun Forza custom car that’s pretty Halo-related at Tabwin.com. At the moment, it’s no the front page, 7th row (!!), first column… but if it moves, here’s a direct link. That baby’s probably pretty fast…

mrsmiley updated the art section of the Halo Babies website… and man, there’s some amazing stuff in there! Go check it out – but be sure you have a little while, there’s a LOT!

Dennis Powers points out a post he made at the haloce.gearboxgamezone.com website. There’s been quite a bit of interesting material released recently in the HaloCE community – swing by to read about it, and download it!

Overswarm has added a couple of notes to his Not So Common Sense Guide – the first is a status report on the front page, to let people know that he’s not as available as he’s been in the past (so please be patient), and the other is a new Frequently Asked Question, explaining the…

In late January, Mike Miller began a Legendary Walkthrough of Halo 2, and for the next four months, he’d release a new level, once per week (or so), with hints, multiple plans of attack, and plenty of video examples, to help you get through what (at first) seemed nearly impossible. Today, that guide is finished;…

Drew Santorello and Mark Werner like to bring their virtual playthings to life; they sent in a few pics of weapons they’ve recreated in real life. Check ’em out!

The third movie to make it through the MPRRS today is the second episode of the Necrosis Clan’s eponymous series. You can grab it from their site (WMP9 format, 3.4 mb) or from ours (WMP9 format or a 4.8 mb QuickTime). Again, dialogue comes from the Dialogue Databank; it will be interesting to see how…

Another vid that made it through our rating system – Foilman’s ‘Final Pass’, a Halo PC montage. The man loves his rockets… This is available in WMP9 format (42.9 mb) or QuickTime format (34.4 mb). There are some rumblings on our forum this morning that the quality level of passed films is dropping a bit;…

The Movie Peer Review Rating System continues to evolve; we’ve begun to add tips for movie makers, and you can find them on the Submitter FAQ page. A recently-passed vid came from MereCatFish, a member of the HBO Helljumpers clan. It’s basically a collection of stuff that amused him in-game; some of it is great,…

B0ggyB sent us a note about his DeviantART site, which has a number of Halo-related items in its gallery:Arbiter sketch Elite model (made of blue tac) Drone variation Ze Arbiter Go check it out!

Area 54, a Halo CE map we mentioned a little bit ago, has been released. You can read about it over at HaloMods, grab a copy from Halo Universe. Thanks, MasterGrief.

To the 42 million people sending us links about the Xbox360 and its leaked specs… thanks, but we’re not an Xbox site, we’re a Halo site. And while it’s likely that one (or more) versions of Halo will eventually RUN on this hardware, we’re not the place to bring you information about its wireless capabilities,…

Video Gamers League has changed the rules for their tournaments; you can find the updated listing on the Rules page. (Check the Schedule page to see if one of the tourneys is near you.) Thanks, Jeff.

Still steamed about sniper jackals in Halo 2 campaign mode? Stuntmutt is, as evidenced by today’s One One Se7en.

w00tness has posted a new strip. Normally, Duo lets other people discover his work… but he was pretty proud of this one – so let him know what you think.

JSatt has released a standalone (Windows-based) app to organize your custom gametypes – it’s still in beta, but you can find more info and a download link in this forum post.

In the absense of any REAL information about a big-screen Halo movie (all the information ANYBODY has at this point was summed up in a February piece in Variety), How Stuff Works has posted ‘Halo: The Musical’, a short piece explaining what they DON’T want to see happen. It’s just like a million forum posts…

A few weeks ago, we mentioned some movies made by the Praetoria Guard, a Halo 2 clan. Recently, they submitted their work to the Movie Peer Review Rating Service – not for hosting, but to obtain feedback so that they could make their works better. All four submissions passed, with flying colors – reviewers were…
