    Koholint was the first to point out Luke Smith’s lying writeup of the Halo 3 Humpday Challenge we played against Bungie on Wednesday night. They were so embarrassed to be beaten by ‘the old men of HBO’ they had to cheat – and claim that the warmup game (Slayer on Construct, Bungie wins) was actually…

    Jake Seaton’s romp through Halo 3 continues – Day 7 is now up. He’s fighting through probably the biggest and most expansive battle level in the game… he wanted to give it a perfect grade, but was unhappy with a single aspect (read it to find out what), so it gets a 4.5/5. This one’s…

    Columbia (MO) Daily Tribune’s Game Over Blog reviews Halo 3 – 8.5/10, “the title by wich all other console multiplayer FPS will be judged”. And the Albany Times Union felt that the multiplayer matchmaking was too slow, but that otherwise the game was great. (The first paragraph of this review threw me for a loop,…

    Saved Films functionality is a HUGE part of the wonder that is Halo 3; it lets you relive spectacular moments, it let’s you figure out exactly HOW you died (and which walls that bullet ricocheted off before it went through your skull), it lets you create gorgeous machinima with a minimum of setup. In order…
