RT: Bitter End

by
So. Monday our summer intern Gavino heads back to his depressing life in sunny old England. We’ve grown quite accustomed to having him around, and I honestly don’t know what we’ll do without him. If there are any eligible American girls who are looking…

Halo 3 Mobile
According to a new banner on halo3.com (which may or may not be accessible to you – read this thread for details), Microsoft has put up a WAP-enabled website for Halo news on your mobile phone. Go see.(Louis Wu 14:06:43 UTC)

Building the Halo 3 Collection
Tex did the schwag thing yesterday, and took pics. Go look. (Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for the heads-up.)(Louis Wu 13:43:03 UTC)

A good look at Halo ActionClix
XBL Radio interviewed the WizKids rep at PAX a couple of weeks ago – the video is now up. You get a good sense for how Halo ActionClix works, and can see the game in action – good stuff! Thanks, Avateur.(Louis Wu 13:06:15 UTC)

Halo 3 on Game Head
Game Head did some filming at the Massachusetts Projekt Revolution event in late August – Halo 3 was played there, and the cameras were rolling. (Footage shown by itself seems to be taken straight from the Beta – but I don’t know if that’s what was playing in the background.) Thanks, chewpathingy.(Louis Wu 13:02:53 UTC)

I think ‘Buy Halo 3’ should be there.
GameDaily’s posted a Halo 3 Checklist. Thread contributers say ‘meh’. Thanks, Avateur.(Louis Wu 12:59:49 UTC)

There’s a plot. She promises.
Elnea posted a Halo Action Figure Theater Update – this one uses the new McFarlane mini-chief. (In a somewhat disturbing setting, I’d have to say.) Go see!(Louis Wu 12:58:02 UTC)

That’s alotta games…
Guns Lot has put up a ‘Top Twenty Five (25) Best Selling Video Games Of All Time’ list – this is for independent sales, not games packaged with a console. It’s actually the top 29, because there are five games tied for 25th place. Halo 2 is one of those. Thanks, Devin Olsen.(Louis Wu 12:55:50…

How does it feel to be first?
GamesRadar sat down and talked with Francesca Reyes, Editor-in-Chief of Official Xbox Magazine. She has the honor of being the first person outside of Bungie/Microsoft to fully play through the Halo 3 campaign – and she discusses the situation a little. (There are no spoilers, and she tells you NOTHING about the game itself -…

OXM EIC Plays Halo 3 ASAP

by
As soon as possible being, in this case, already. Francesca Reyes, Editor-in-Chief of Official Xbox Magazine, has already played through the entire Halo 3 single-player campaign, and her ten page review will hit the streets in the next edition of OXM, day and date with the game. Technically nobody’s supposed to say a word about…

Top Two Top Ten Lists
—
by
Hawty McBloggy compiled a list of top ten things to do while Xbox Live is down, (it’s back up already) while GameDaily has a list of top ten things to do before Halo 3 comes out. Just remember, this isn’t really Halo news, just an amazing NBC simulation. The items range from the practical (sleeping)…

Territory Controlled… Wirelessly

Tex went to pay off the last installment of her Halo 3 Legendary Edition preorder and got a couple of unexpected surprises: the early arrival of the new Halo 3-themed wireless controllers, and a special Halo 3 bracelet given out to GameStop employees. Check the Queen of the Hill blog for photos.

GamePro Does A Review Preview
—
by
You may have read somewhere else already that press reviews of Halo 3 (much like Halo 2 before it) are handled in a somewhat different way than other games. Bungie doesn’t mail out review copies to journalists in advance; if they did, it’s possible the game’s ending would have been spoiled by now. GamePro has…

Weekly Update Worth A Few Million Words
—
by
This week’s Bungie Weekly Update– only two more to go now before the game’s out– is supposedly the biggest ever, at least in terms of kilobytes. Most of the content consists of pictures of Kotubukiya Halo 3 statues and McFarlane Halo 3 figures. The last image is interesting, though, as it seems to show the…

Where’s the Achronos Action Figure?
Frankie posted an image-heavy Weekly Update tonight, chock full of high quality pictures of upcoming merchandise. The blurbs for the images tell you where and when they’ll be available as well as just how far into debt they’ll push you. We’ve got a local mirror in our Weekly Update Archive right here, as always. Thanks…

Media Gets Their Shot
Bungie takes as few chances as possible when it comes to Halo 3 – over at GamePro, you can read about the review sessions that will be taking place next week in New York and Seattle. Most games, a reviewer gets a copy in the mail a few weeks before release – but not Bungie’s…

Retronauts Explore The Marathon

by
1Up’s Halo 3 coverage continues; this time, the Retronauts Blog is traveling further back in time to the colony ship Marathon. There’s also an indication from Greg “Hippieman” Morrison from Freeverse in the comments to that entry to the effect that if there’s enough interest, that Marathon Infinity and even the original Marathon can also…

More McFarlane Stuff
Joe found the McFarlane collectibles on the IGN website – they’re on IGN Comics, and if you swing by, you can see shots of the Jackal Sniper and the Ghost. I sort of wish the Jackal Snipers weren’t so well-done… I’d love to get my hands on a bunch of ’em and just blow ’em…
