    A couple more Bungie interviews about the split (and about Halo) – GameInformer interviewed Frankie (it’s a little disturbing in parts, but mostly it’s Frankie saying “nothing’s changed”), and FiringSquad also talked to Frankie – their writeup is a summary of the conversation, but it includes the news that Harold Ryan is now Bungie’s President.…

    CVG has posted up The Bungie Story, an excerpt from Halo 3 – The Ultimate Companion book, free with Xbox World 360 issue #58 on sale this month. It’s more of a Bungie Summary than a Bungie History, running quickly from Minotaur to Monitor, but it’s a nice primer for those who have been brought…

  • Brazilian voice actors – now counted

    Marcelo Vega, of Xboxtoday.com.br, sent us word that they’ve posted a list of the voice actors and technical staff that worked on the Brazilian version of Halo 3. This is why fansites rock – this info isn’t anywhere official. Microsoft Brazil doesn’t have it, the Halo 3 manual doesn’t have it – the ONLY place…

    Last year, Halo wasn’t part of the World Cyber Games lineup – this year, they’re asking for fan input on the games that will be used. Halo 3’s one of the candidates; go vote. Thanks, LegendaryMark. (Louis Wu 13:45:35 UTC)

  • The titles keep getting better.

    DiscipleN2k noticed a new Pixelated Pupils – as he points out, they’ve done the same joke RvB did yesterday, but not quite as funny.(Louis Wu 13:40:11 UTC)

    I am really, really loving saved films. Check out this vid at MLG’s Gameroom; when I first watched it, I thought the guy must have twitched over and shot the wall right in front of him – but the saved film showed it was no such thing. Amazing. Thanks, corjello.(Louis Wu 13:38:02 UTC)

    Onebitrocket found a listing for a hardcover version of Halo: Uprising – it’s listed in the US version of Amazon, too. Release date is January 9, 2008, which seems unlikely, since Uprising #4 has been pushed back to February already. Still – if you can’t get your hands on the comic book forms, this might…

    The second item in Meyeselph’s Halo 3 weapon guide is that all-around performer and MLG favorite, the Battle Rifle. Almost makes people forget the Halo 1 pistol. Almost.

    Frankie does a good impression of Officer Barbrady while talking to Game Informer about the Microsoft-Bungie split: GI: Are you at all surprised by the response to this? O’Connor: Not really. It’s Microsoft, and that’s the big story, right? The Wall Street Journal doesn’t care about Bungie Studios, but it cares about Microsoft business, and…

    Something Awful reviews Halo 3, and for once, it’s a real review (sort of) and not just an excuse to crack some poop jokes. Except, there are a few poop jokes. Generally the review falls into the “single player is crap but multiplayer is good” except they also hated multiplayer. What do you expect? It’s…

    1Up interviews Bungie’s Brian “SketchFactor” Jarrard about the Bungie-Microsoft split. So far everyone who has spoken to the press is still on the same page; that this was a mutually beneficial deal, quickly and amicably agreed upon. Despite 1Up trying to press and find some conflict, no one will admit to any, even theoretical: 1UP:…
