    Arteen has released Grove, a new HaloCE map ‘set in the lush canyons of Halo, among long-abandoned Forerunner structures.’ Very pretty – you can grab a copy at Halo Maps. Thanks to Dennis Powers for the heads-up (he was tickled by the fact that two of the characters from his Valley of the Forerunners series…

    Well, It seems Sugarmoney and Luke Mckay mean business. They’ve turned in another comic, and assure us that there are many more on the way. It looks like we have no choice but to make this a regular thing. I’m thinking, since it’s fallen on these days,…

    Kotaku has a bit about a hand-painted Halo Faceplate for sale on eBay – if you hurry, you can still get your bid in. (It’s currently sitting at $84, with a bit over a day still remaining.) I’ve provided a link to the US eBay site – but if you’re in Canada, you can use…

    Jamie Anderson wrote to us about a new website he’s started up – it’s called GetScrims, and it’s designed to match up people looking for games on XBL with others of similar skill level, attitude, etc. Think of it as more in-depth MatchMaking. Interesting concept!(Louis Wu 12:42:57 UTC)

    Capt 0bvious noticed that Gametrailers has a video review of the Halo Graphic Novel (Thanks, Mr.Cynical); it’s chock-full of spoilers, so don’t watch this unless you’ve read the HGN already. Nicely put together!(Louis Wu 12:36:39 UTC)

    Hehe – it’s a stretch, but demus points out an article at Videogamesblogger.com, which writes about Halo: the beer! (It’s Widmer, and it’s an IPA – how bad could it be?)(Louis Wu 11:05:48 UTC)

    demus found an editorial from the folks over at Game Overdrive which suggests that the Halo Graphic Novel is the key to understanding the current story arc in the Halo series. (Some of our forum denizens disagree – read the rest of the thread for details.)(Louis Wu 11:01:15 UTC)

    As I’m checking out some of my favorite Mac haunts, I see that the decent folks at Destineer/MacSoft have *rewritten* the entire Halo Mac code and made it a Universal Binary, meaning it’ll work natively on Apple’s Intel-powered Macs. Niiice! It’s a paid upgrade ($5 or $10, download or shipped CD) but for a 3…
