    1Up’s latest Halo feature is a retrospective on the Halo series. The teaser on their three weeks of Halo 3 microsite mentions the “Halo/Marathon universe” but there’s nary a mention of Marathon there, and as we all know, the two universes are separate anyway. Right? Of course, they’ve also got coverage of yesterday’s revelations about…

    EGM’s Wednesday Halo 3 content continues, with a great article that looks back over some of the stuff said about Halo and Halo 2 before release, and how those things actually turned out. One more piece remains for the day from them – but it’s not online yet. In the meantime, check this one out!(Louis…

    Wow… seems like every time there’s a big coordinated content release, and European gaming sites are in on it, stuff gets leaked before the official release date. It’s out there now – so you might as well check it out. Be aware, though, that this material was distributed to LOTS of gaming sites, all at…

    More new Halo content today – this time, though, it’s Halo Wars, not Halo 3. Swing by the official website for a new screen (in multiple sizes) of a UNSC Shortsword, a pretty nice looking Flying Wing.(Louis Wu 20:06:38 UTC)

    Last week, we pointed out a remake of the trailer for ‘300’, the upcoming Frank Miller movie about ancient Sparta. Today, we got email from Berzerker dude, of Treeskunk Productions – he’s made another one. Like bikeman704, he used existing cutscene footage, and like bikeman704, it’s really nicely put together. I’m intrigued by how few…

    IceWeasel pitted an ODST against a Heretic Elite, in a stop-motion tribute to a great movie. It’s one of my favorite scenes of all time, and he did a great job with it. Go watch!(Louis Wu 16:37:46 UTC)

    RVideo whipped up a short screentest showing what Halo might look like with a female marine as the main character. He warns that he didn’t spend a lot of time putting this together – but I found it to be fascinating. Great angles! (Do him a favor – use our download links, save his bandwidth.)(Louis…
