The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2006

  • Trash Talk.

    Recently, Uwe Boll has spoken out about his opinion of the chances that the Halo movie will succeed. Stuntmutt tosses his two cents on that subject into the pot with today’s One One Se7en.

  • Closing out a powerful season

    More NYC Halo Nationals stuff – at MLGPro.com, there’s an overview of the Finals (thanks, 3Suns), and at Team3D.net, there’s Part 1 of a wrapup – an interview with Hotshy (thanks, F13ND). Go read!

  • Can’t all just get along?

    Captain Spark released another batch of dialogue snippets (and celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary, and is gearing up for his birthday – w00t!) – you can grab ’em from his website, or browse ’em in the Dialogue Databank. And there are more snippets coming from Hellhawk and Bloodpuppy, soon – I just haven’t gotten ’em…

  • Friday’s Fiction Update

    Twenty new pieces up in the Fan Fiction section this week – go read!

  • Game with Fame: Hollyoaks

    The Game with Fame series continues, with the cast from Hollyoaks (a British soap) looking to take on some of their fans on March 4. We seem to have fallen off the notification list for these things – but you can read the press release elsewhere around the net (XGP Gaming has a copy, and…

  • Arrr!

    Remember that pirate comment Frankie made in last week’s Weekly Update, when referring to an upcoming Halo Humpday Challenge? Turns out it was because Bungie played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Frankie did a good job staying with the football theme all the way through the writeup. There’s a scary pic at the…

  • MLG NYC Pics

    Nice. MLGPro.com has put up a gallery of photos from last weekend’s National Championships; 434 pics of people playing Halo. Go look. Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Grunts and Jackals… oh, my.

    Rockslider continues the Frontline with Suzie series – today she’s interviewing some swampdwellers. Well… not really dwelling. More being lost, actually. Go read.

  • This Spartan Life – Episode 3 (Module 1)

    This Spartan LIfe has posted Episode 3, Module 1 – visit the site for download options. Damian has some… staff issues. Here’s hoping he works ’em out soon! The QuickTime is 16.6 mb, the WMP9 should be available soon. (There’s also an alternate version of the Solid Gold Elite Dancers module released a few weeks…

  • Midnight and the NYT

    All,Midnight possibly has an opportunity to do some blogging for the premium section of New York Times (read paid content). This could be an excellent opportunity for him and could provide him with great resume fodder. The details are still being wor…

  • Play!

    Wow, bizarre. Remember Video Games Live? They’re claiming to be happening again (there are two dates on their Tour page)… but they’re no longer the only game in town. Play! bills itself as ‘A Video Game Symphony’, and features music from ‘a catalogue of blockbuster video game titles’… including Halo. They kick off in Chicago,…

  • Love Song

    More movies. Well, movie. This one ALMOST passed the MPRRS. (Missed by 0.4%.) It’s a music video from Belligerent, set to 311’s ‘Love Song’, and it’s pretty nicely done. Not too huge, and the suggestions made by the reviewers aren’t dealbreakers, in my opinion. Grab it in WMP9 format (28.3 mb) or QuickTime format (26.3…

  • Halo for the PSP

    Funkiness. Looks like someone’s trying to create a version of Halo that runs on the PSP. Should be fun to keep an eye on… thanks, Hexudus.

  • Lament for Pvt. Jenkins

    BootStrap Boon put together a vid called ‘Lament for Pvt. Jenkins’ recently, and the MPRRS said ‘yeah!’ It’s an alternate look at what might have happened to the poor dead Private from Halo, and aside from some odd aspect issues, and the occasional interlacing, it’s quite well done. He does a really nice job of…

  • Action Replay FAQ

    Spartan Jag wrote up a FAQ for Action Replay, the device that lets you trade saved games with other Halo players (well, lots of games, but this is a Halo site, right?). Check it out on our forum.

  • Managing XPectations.

    So, not too long ago, Bungie announced that Halo 2 would be coming out on Windows Vista – and a lot of people griped that they didn’t want to upgrade their operating system just to play Halo 2. Stuntmutt takes the ‘if you can’t beat ’em, laugh at ’em’ tack in today’s One One Se7en.

  • HCEC Season 3, Ep 1

    Season 3 of the Halo CE Chronicles kicked off yesterday, with ‘The Valley of the Forerunners, Part 1’ – swing by the HCEC website to grab your copy. This one picks up where season 2 left off, and is the first in 11 parts. Nice scenery, and a great kickoff into the new season’s plotline.…

  • Undefeated at Mario Tennis

    Player of the week this week, over at MLGPro.com, is Gandhi – a member of the number two team out of last weekend’s Nationals. Go check out what makes him tick. Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Why does the cake smell like baby oil?

    RedvsBlue Episode 74, ‘Right To Remain Silenced’, has been released for sponsors, a bit later than expected… but man, it was worth it. My favorite character is back… and as fun as ever. If you’re a sponsor, go grab it now. If you’re not… it should be out by Thursday or so. Thanks to spartaneric…

  • The sweet smell of green – er, white

    MLG has put up an article showing the winners from last weekend’s National Championships – lots o’ cash! Check it out. Thanks, 3Suns.
