  • Send in stuff for this week’s show: Forza 2 special!

    Wow, slow week in Halo land. The ARG came to a screeching halt, no significant Halo news… I guess it’s the calm before the storm that will be Halo 3. So we were thinking: what should we talk about this week? The answer came from what everybody on the…

  • Batteries Not Included.

    BOLL, unhappy with the idea that ZZoMBiE13 got a full week’s worth of guest strips for One One Se7en, while he only got a single day, has submitted extra strips for your viewing pleasure. Check out today’s strip and see if you approve!(Louis Wu 15:08:…

    411Mania.com has reviewed Halo 2 Vista; overall, they liked it. (They gave it a rating of 8.1/10, with high marks for Sound and Fun Factor.) They did gripe that using a keyboard/mouse combination results in definite lag – this is the first time I’ve h…

  • A fresh coat of paint, but not much else

    On the other end of the spectrum, Exclaim tried out the Halo 3 Beta – and were pretty much unimpressed. Too many 14-year-olds teabagging the reviewer’s corpse, apparently.(Louis Wu 12:25:32 UTC)

  • A Labour of Love

    Next Generation has posted a review of the Halo 3 Beta – written by Edge magazine. They’re overwhelmingly positive; they feel Bungie has taken the lessons of Halo 2 (and Halo) to heart, and are on track to release a game that will surpass both. High …

  • Attack of the Factoids: Halo 3 Beta

  • Calamity

    Heh – we got word from Trevor Mack that there was a monster montage at Halo3Forum; 22 minutes, 350 mb, gameplay from a host of players. I told him that we generally don’t front-page H3F montages unless the request comes from the site owner – and that …
