Splinter Cell: Crisis – Trailer
AnubisUK wrote to let us know of a new trailer being hosted by Broken Console Productions – it was created by Silent Fisher, one of their clan members, and it’s for a movie entitled ‘Splinter Cell: Crisis’. Sam Fisher is now wearing MC armor, and creeping around Zanzibar… 28 mb, WMP9 format.(Louis Wu 13:40:15 UTC)

Podtacular All-Stars beat TTL Gunslingers
Despite a second round win by the Gunslingers, it looks like the All-Stars pulled it off in the end! Sounds like it was a really good competition. Gunslingers made a cool suggestion to have a “meet your opponent” game at the end where they switched up the teams. Dialpex did a fun and detailed writeup…

Next up – WoW in Social Studies
Heh – gljake found a fun Halo reference in the latest issue of Wired. I’m not sure it’ll be funny if it actually comes true…(Louis Wu 19:37:43 UTC)

Ghost Ship
Paul Davies has submitted another gorgeous piece of Halo artwork – this one is called ‘Ghost Ship’, and shows what might have happened to the Pillar of Autumn in a parallel universe, maybe. If you like Paul’s work, he’s just finished an overhaul of his website; there’s a whole collection of sci-fi artwork there, not…

Walshy’s Montage – in QuickTime
For lots of people, WMP9 is a difficult-to-use movie type; for those people, we do our best to provide most movies we host (or that we think are worth hosting) in QuickTime format. This is now true with Walshy’s montage, released last night (check this MLGPro.com forum thread for lots of download links to the…

Halo 2 tourney in MA – short notice
An article in the Fitchburg (MA) Sentinel and Enterprise discusses a local Halo 2 tourney happening today, with a $1000 first prize; not sure if it’s too late, but if you live near Fitchburg, swing on by the local iGameSpot!(Louis Wu 17:47:11 UTC)

More Halo Art for Auction
A couple of days ago, we mentioned a hand-painted faceplate on eBay – that’s gone (it went for just over $100), but the artist reminds us that he’s got other Halo goodies available for sale there. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 13:40:27 UTC)

Walshy’s Montage
So the big news last night was the release of a montage by Final Boss member Walshy – the editing is a bit heavy in places, but it’s really nicely produced, and you can get a real sense for how fast and accurately this guy can kill his opponents. At the moment, the best place…

Pink to Black
Whoa, bizarre. Back in March, we listed links to ISBNdb.com and Amazon.com for the upcoming Nylund novel, Ghosts of Coral. Following those links today, you find that the info hasn’t changed… but if you change the ‘com’ in the amazon link to ‘co.uk’, you get to a book listed as ‘Ghosts of Onyx’ (quick screenshot,…

At least one more grunt.
The Bungie Weekly Update is super-early this week – and it’s pretty short, though there are a sizeable number of Halo 3 teasers in it. No Mister Chief, either, because apparently Pinkuh made him too sexy. (Knowing Pinkuh, that almost certainly means there’s nudity involved… and I’m not sure I can stomach a nude Mister…

Bungie Weekly Update
No update per se, this week, since today is the Annual Bungie BBQ & Pentathlon. We’ll be in an undisclosed location ’til 8pm. A few snippets for the hardcore, nonetheless, but nothing for the mainstream consumer, who demands more answers, dammit.

To the fortress!
Tex created a pretty cool picture, illustrating a game she and Schooly D play on Xbox Live; she has to jump to her death before Schooly kills her. (I dunno, maybe it’s some sort of mating ritual or something.) Anyway, the picture was great, and she was kind enough to save a bunch of her…

Halo 2 Treasure Hunt
ManKitten has started up the Second Annual Mankitten’s Halo 2 Treasure Hunt. (Last year’s hunt can be followed at this link.) Clue one just got posted – there aren’t any prizes, you’re playing for fun!(Louis Wu 17:38:53 UTC)

Tsquared talks about gaming passion
There’s an interview with Tom ‘Tsquared’ Taylor, of Gaming-lessons.com (and holder of one of the 5 quarter-million-dollar 3-year contracts with MLG) over at GameSetWatch. The last time this subject came up, our forum was filled with scorn for anyone who’d pay for lessons in Halo. I say if you’re willing to pay for golf or…

River Styx Two: RAGNAROK
You might remember River Styx, a bit of machinima created by Elnea and OboeCrazy which has the distinction of being the first project to integrate Halo, The Sims 2, and World of Warcraft into one (relatively) seamless whole. Well, they’re back – and this time, River Styx Two is even MORE integrated. Check out the…

Popcorn.
Just when you think the puns can’t get any worse… they get worse. If you live in California, please try and refrain from calling your lawyer after reading today’s One One Se7en. (I suppose there are probably other places with higher per-capita quantities of lawyers than California… but it’s still early, and I haven’t had…
