  • This file name won’t help you.

    trigger119 let us know that CROSSFIRE has released a teaser for an upcoming Halo 3 machinima project; there’s very little in it to tell you what’s coming, but based on past work, I’d say it’s one worth waiting for! Swing by Gaming TV to download it.(Louis Wu 21:06:02 UTC)

  • Spartan Armor – outfit the whole squad

    Hawty “eBaying better than you since 1995” McBloggy has written up a guide that lists all the Spartan armor currently available on eBay, just in time for Halloween. (I was interested to see pictures of Chris Bryan’s armor and a couple of Nightmare Armor suits, all with identical text from the same seller – a…

  • Xbox 360 HD DVD player and FREE Heroes Season 1 offer

    Amazon has an amazing deal that expires on the 27th. You get Heroes Season 1 free with the purchase of an Xbox 360 HD DVD drive (just add it it your cart as well). Plus, the 5 free HD DVDs by mail promotion is still going on, all for $179. I plan on ordering on…

  • Sierra 117 Cutscenes Up

    We’ve added the two cutscenes from Sierra 117 to our Halo 3 Cutscene Library – go ahead and grab ’em. As a heads-up, it looks like high-res versions of these (at least 720p) should be available in the not-too-distant future!(Louis Wu 17:41:55 UTC)

  • Stop Light.

    What might be the most irritating part of Halo 3 has been skewered by Stuntmutt in today’s One One Se7en. If you like this part (after the 25th run-through)… well, the joke’s on you.(Louis Wu 17:05:38 UTC)

  • Live Halo in Holland

    DHalo found footage of a Halo piece being played at ‘Games in Concert’ in Holland last November. He describes it as ‘unpleasant’ at first – I’d strongly disagree with that. Listen and decide for yourself, though.(Louis Wu 16:54:32 UTC)

  • Not with a bang, but… well, yes, a bang.

    Narcogen has taken a long hard look at how Halo 3 ends – and at how good a job Bungie’s done in tying up loose ends. It’s a pretty interesting read! (It is, of course, full of spoilers.)(Louis Wu 16:26:52 UTC)

  • Tied the Leader Good Game Network

    Tied the Leader has set up a pretty cool web tool that should help take the place of clans… for their friends and allies. Read the details on their website. Thanks, as usual, to XerxdeeJ for stopping by with the news – this one has the potential to be HUGE.(Louis Wu 15:07:37 UTC)

  • Recovery One: Coming Soon

    Red vs Blue has an announcement on their front page that ‘Red vs Blue: Recovery One’, their last Halo 2 project, will be kicking off in the next few days; it’ll be available on Xbox Live Marketplace and their website. (The public version of ‘Going Global’, the video we mentioned a couple of days ago,…

  • A Requiem for the Old Way

    Sain7 wrote some poetry to say goodbye to an old style of playing – Hello, Halo 3! (Louis Wu 13:34:35 UTC)

  • VGL London – a Recap

    Looks like the Video Games LIve show in London a couple of nights ago was a smashing success. VVM pointed out a pretty decent YouTubed copy of the Halo piece at the end, and DHalo found a clip of Marty chanting the monk part of the original theme. Awesomeness! (Louis Wu 13:23:37 UTC)

  • Confetti

    ZZoMBiE13’s latest comic looks at a problem that all too many Halo fans are stumbling into… has Bungie put a monkey on your back? (Maybe it’s a Grunt…)(Louis Wu 11:41:42 UTC)

  • Art from art

    sorahn let us know that the second and third mosaics made from user-submitted screenshots are now posted at haloscreenshots.net. The third one, at 5120×2880, is pretty amazing…(Louis Wu 11:33:43 UTC)

  • Telerunning – Because it’s There

    trigger119 pointed out this telerun (if the term is unfamiliar, check out this newspost) by the underdogg – looks like a lot of careful teleporter placement!(Louis Wu 11:23:00 UTC)

  • RT: Going Global

    We recently headed over to England for the 2007 European Machinima Festival and like always, they didn’ t really want to see us. They just wanted us to make a fancy new, RvB video for them — those big users. But we did it anyway, because we just wanted…

  • Rockslider Reviews Halo 3

    Rockslider famously rejected Halo 2, preferring instead to spend six years tricking the Halo 1 engine into delivering him continually more epic “megabattles”. So, naturally, people wanted to know what he thought of Halo 3– did it return to the roots of the original game enough to keep his interest? Now he’s provided the answer…

  • This Is How The Game Ends

    Since before I’d even managed to finish the fight on Heroic, let alone Legendary, people have been asking… “so, what do you think of Halo 3?” Given the thousands of words I’ve hurled at Halo 2 over the years that seems like a rather broad question. When pressed, most people admit what they really want…

  • RT: Ok. Here's the situation…

    The title of today’s comic inspired the title of today’s news post, which then inspired me to check out Will Smith’s IMDB page. Did you know that his first role on television wasn’t on the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” (which ran for 146 episodes)?…
