    New look? Hang in there. We’re working on the layout for the website. We’ve kept the website online so that you can still use it. Expect the website to look different in the short while ahead. Trust us. On the backend we’ve done a lot of work.

    Remember a couple of weeks ago, when we mentioned some new screenshots at Entertainment Weekly? Well, the article that made it into their print mag is now online, as well. A pretty good read!(Louis Wu 20:16:24 UTC)

    More ‘Top’ lists – PSU has the Top 10 games you must have before 2008 (thanks, Avateur), and the Edmonton Sun has a list of the top 5 most overhyped games (thanks, chewpathingy).

    Yesterday, we got word from Lucko that his clan, Mystic Studios, had finished up a new music video. Set to the song ‘To The End’ by My Chemical Romance’, it uses some interesting video effects to tell its story. I liked it, although I didn’t get the plot at all. This morning, his clanmate Fragg3d…

    Hmm… this is sort of weird. World Wrestling Entertainment’s website has put up an ‘Oddest Couple’ list – and MC and Arby make it. Thanks, Yo5lut.(Louis Wu 14:19:36 UTC)

    Coolpengwn was the first to point out the press release announcing the uveiling of the Master Chief statue at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas – read it for the skinny on this pretty amazing sculpture. And check out this rather massive pic (1812×1200, 320K) for some hi-res lovin’.(Louis Wu 13:42:46 UTC)

    In yet another example of Halo becoming so cool that the only way to make yourself look cooler in comparison is to dump on it, Steve Tilly at the Edmonton Sun drops this pearl of wisdom: Halo 2 is the #4 most overhyped game ever, just ahead of Daikatana: One of my biggest regrets as…

    This has to be one of the strangest Halo tie-ins. Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in Las Vegas, Nevada has added a wax statue of its first videogame hero: Master Chief from Halo. You really sort of want to know whose idea this was, and then who thought it was a good enough idea to actually…
