    Ahh, the luxury of being an independent developer and publisher. The luxury to redesign every level in your game at the last minute, while you tell fans you’re just “printing boxes” because you wanted to make the game… well, fun, instead of just done. Those days are over for Bungie Studios, and have been since…

    Game Informer gave Bungie ten questions and Bungie’s own Brian “SketchFactor” Jarrard gave ten answers. A quick summary: “delta”, “stay tuned”, and “what demo?”. For the questions, see the interview.

    boesman pointed out an article at IGN that suggests that Microsoft is pushing for a September release for Halo 3. They claim “two independent sources” for this information – which puts a new spin on the comments by Shane Kim last week at GDC. At that point, I opined that Kim’s comments suggested that Microsoft…

    Does Gears of War have what it takes to overtake Halo 2 on the competitive gaming circuit? Andy Jones thinks so – I think. (The article contradicts itself a few times as you read, so I’m not 100% sure WHAT he thinks.) Go read it for yourself at Amped eSports.(Louis Wu 18:17:33 UTC)

    Interesting. If you live in Germany, you can spend €10 to buy the ‘Halo 3 Pre-order Pack’ – the money will go towards Halo 3, once it’s released, but in the meantime, it’ll buy you access to the Halo 3 beta program. This is for sale at both Amazon.de and Gamestop.de. You have to be…

    Jamie98s put together a short little music vid set to Otis Redding’s ‘Dock of the Bay’ – a soldier tires of killing. Interesting interpretation – and, as usual with Jamie’s work, cinematography rocks. Only a bit over 16 mb, in either WMP9 format or QuickTime format.(Louis Wu 13:07:58 UTC)

    Over at MLGPro.com, the newest Player Match Commentary comes from Ogre 1- he talks about awareness, and how it (generally) separates the top tier from the almost-top tier. Good stuff! Thanks, as usual, to 3Suns.(Louis Wu 12:05:42 UTC)
