  • Top Ten Guitar Hero 3 Requests

    Now that I’ve seen the playlists from Guitar Hero I and II, and played GH II extensively, I want to lay my requests out there for GH III. The selections are geared towards my particular interests, but I think my interests are pretty closely in line…

  • Third egg on High Ground

    This has come up a whole bunch of times in our forum (and, apparently, even earlier on Bungie.net’s forum – thanks, Sain7) – Ibeechu finally got us a recording. The same console that has the Morse Code and Cortana’s scaryface also has a clip from ‘Und…

  • Halo-themed Gaming PC

    A-Power Gaming is manufacturing a Halo-themed PC, which comes with Halo 2 Vista and Vista Ultimate, all for CAD $1659. Take a look. Thanks, Engadget.(Louis Wu 16:22:05 UTC)

  • New goodies at the Bungie Store

    There are a few new items at the Bungie Store right now – a new Halo 3 pen (thanks, x1zero), and the Halo 3 Beta shirt distributed at the recent Halo 3 press event (in both Charcoal and Brown – thanks, darthbob). (Louis Wu 16:19:48 UTC)

  • Rooster Teeth Guitar

    GamerX5000 spent a little time customizing his Guitar Hero II controller – nice work!(Louis Wu 16:14:52 UTC)

  • I think you’ve played with him.

    Mintz is angry at a recent Extra Life comic – he says that they portrayed him without a shirt, when in fact he nearly always wears one while playing.(Louis Wu 14:01:36 UTC)

  • Time to Kill

    halwiki.net is converting over to Halo 3 (seems a little early, but…) They’re currently building a ‘Time to Kill’ chart, looking at each of the weapons in the Halo 3 Beta. If you’d like to help, swing by and see what they need!(Louis Wu 13:58:51 UTC)

  • Old Friends, Improved

    CinemaBlend took a run at a few new gametypes in the Halo 3 Beta – and loved ’em. Go read why.(Louis Wu 13:56:46 UTC)

  • The good and the bad of progress

    PC Authority looked at Halo 2 Vista; they’re unhappy with the general trend towards console games, but they still had a few good things to say about H2V.(Louis Wu 13:43:43 UTC)

  • Halo Leather

    Another company’s getting into the Halo merchandising game – by August 15, you should be able to buy Halo 3-branded leather items made by Enmon Accessories – ranging from a $10 belt to a $300 set of luggage. Hmm…(Louis Wu 13:41:35 UTC)

  • H2V – on (some) shelves now

    rapture was able to get his hands on Halo 2 Vista last night – it was sitting on a shelf in his local Circuit City. Check it out. (He was also kind enough to send along a copy of the Halo 2 Vista manual – sometimes these are hard to find down the road,…

  • Of Leaks, and Such

    The last few days have seen many, many reports around the net of information gleaned from the source files of the Halo 3 Beta; for the most part, we’ve stayed away from this information. If you want it – it’s certainly out there. We’re just not going t…

  • Unforgotten – performed live

    WhiteRaven performed the piano solo from Unforgotten, off the Halo 2 Original Soundtrack Volume Two, for a school induction ceremony a couple of weeks ago – he did a fantastic job, and today, he’s reposted the audio and a video. (Transcription is his o…

  • MLG adds Gears of War to circuit

    Out of nowhere, MLG has added Gears of War as a main title to their tour. Over the course of the 2007 Boost Mobile MLG Pro Circuit, MLG will be awarding over $140,000 in Gears of War prize money and pro player benefits, with the National Championship…

  • Oh So Betaful

    trigger119 pointed out a new movie he’s hosting at GamingTV.org – it was created by ClearviewPro, and follows the pattern of Jamie98s’ ‘Oh So Beautiful’ series… except with the Halo 3 Beta. That is – he’s collected a bunch of footage of cool tidbits …

  • StarCraft 2 Officially Announced!

    Wow, this is awesome! StarCraft II is official!!! Finally, a PC game I can look forward to! Check it out at http://www.starcraft2.com. You can download the cinematic trailer here. ———————————————————————–…

  • RT: Oh Canada

    So I’m in Vancouver for RvB: Canwest, which is today of course, but you already knew that, because you’re coming to the event. I have to say it’s more civilized than I expected. So far no log cabins, no lumberjacks, and no moose (that’s the plural for …

  • B Sik’s Retrospect

    Z sent us a link to a Halo 1 montage from B Sik – it’s called ‘Retrospect’, and it’s just loaded with nostalgia. WMP9 format, 90 mb, worth every byte. Take a break from Halo 2 and Halo 3, and check this puppy out!(Louis Wu 14:10:15 UTC)

  • Scary Cortana

    Another cool little egg on High Ground – this one has been mentioned before, but it took Foxcross and Ibeechu to get a film out to you guys. That same computer console that plays Morse Code also has some video footage… and if you don’t blink, you get…

  • Project Bob Teaser

    Laird (who’s likely enjoying CanWest right now, with a lot of other RvB fans) sent along a link to a teaser for Project Bob (WMP9 format, 12.8 mb). Your guess is as good as mine what ‘Bob’ is… but the teaser looks great!(Louis Wu 14:06:00 UTC)
