    Mid7night stopped by again last night to drop off pictures of a Phantom, his latest Halo-into-X-Plane vehicle. A little dark – but pretty cool!(Louis Wu 10:05:11 UTC)

(Who knew that puppy could hit 125 mph, and run almost 500 miles without a fuel resupply?) Thakns to Pkmnrulz240, who noticed it first.(Louis…

    Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has written up the first part of a comparison between Gears of War and Halo – observations about the two games, how they do things differently (or the same), and why one route might be better than the other. An interesting read, though full of Gears spoilers. Give it a look!(Louis…

    Released a full two years later and the first title in a wave of second-generation games for Microsoft’s next-generation console, Halo 2 and Gears of War clearly have nothing in common, and nothing would be gained by trying to compare them. So why am I doing it? Because that’s the nature of my illness. After…

    Wow. We just a few hours ago learned of Fantasy Halo – and Part Two has now been released. (Granted, Part One was released 3 days before anyone told us about it, but still…) Part Two (Original Chaos Films link | HaloGrid link) is for the most part a story-telling episode, so the RPG style…

    Dennis Powers pointed out a TON of new Halo CE maps available at Halomaps.org – you can browse them by visiting the HaloCE maps section (they’re already sorted by date), but he wanted to point out Hydrolysis (we mentioned it yesterday, but there are a couple of great screenshots on the Halomaps page), along with…

    KP noticed an article at Kotaku which discusses a gorgeous paint job on an Xbox 360 – it’s for sale on eBay (already painted on a 360). It ain’t cheap – Buy it Now price is $925, plus almost $30 in shipping – but wow, it’s pretty.(Louis Wu 23:13:44 UTC)

    Craig Mullins dropped off a new image today – not really NEW, I guess, but the inclusion of a piece of it in the new Bungie.net design has generated quite a bit of new interest in it. (It was originally published in the Halo Graphic Novel, last year.) It’s an awe-inspiring image of carnage on…

    RVideo found a fantastic video posted on the HaloGrid forums (yep, they’re back) – it was done by the the guys over at Chaos Films, and it emulates a standard turn-based RPG using the Halo engine. These guys did an amazing job compressing the vid – the original is in WMP9 format, but I couldn’t…

    Nomi found some really cool paper recently, and to celebrate, she decided to make a Hunter (it doesn’t use any of this new, rare paper). Right after she finished it, ManKitten showed her a new piece of artwork he’d created (it’ll be in the next Misc Art update), so she decided she needed to make…

    Veegie and HawaiianPig have teamed up again – their latest piece of artwork is a scene that could be out of the level Halo. A poignant look at the human side of the Master Chief. It was announced by HP in a forum post, and you can also find it on Veegie’s gallery page here.…
