    Jamie98s has been making a lot of good movies, and he’s decided to pick up an older idea tossed around by Crossfire, a Halo 2 movie. He’s doing it episodically, and he’s already released the first two. In short, they’re phenomenal, even handling some …

    Interesting. Complete.com did some analysis of what people looked at when they bought their Xbox360 recently… and they found that Halo 3 is selling 3 times as many 360s as Gears of War right now. Go check out their math and see if you buy the logic! Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 01:06:32 UTC)

    Neo-Genesis posted a link to a Kotaku story announcing a Halo 3 laser tag set. “Halo 3 Laser Command” is slated to feature the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol and the Energy Sword. Not quite sure how the sword’s going to figure into that, should be interesting to see.(KP 20:45:36 UTC)
