Eventually, HBO will publish a full review of Halo 3 – but that’s still a little way off, because life has been pretty insane. We do, however, have a full, in-depth review of the extra discs that come with the premium editions of the game; if you want to see what you’d be getting if…

Zeouterlimits has sent us a tidy summary of other reviews around the net, here they are: Eurogamer gives it a 10/10. GamerNode gets all deep n shiz with its 9.5/10. GameSpy provides us with our third IGN-owned review, giving it a 5/5. Gamedaily is offline due to traffic but gave Halo 3 its lowest review…

Alright, the embargo is up and what was considered an onslaught of news in the past week will appear a steady trickle. Gametrailers has their video review, giving it a 9.8/10. Team Xbox has also posted their review, giving it a 9.7/10. Thanks to Zeouterlimits for both of those. Gamespot has also posted their review…

The Bungie Store has been updated today with a few new items. Firstly, there’s a Marathon: Durandal tee to celebrate the launch of the XBLA title. Secondly there’s a Halo mousepad using the image from the cover of EGM’s preview last year. Lastly there’s a set of engravable Halo 3 dogtags, with the chief on…

Venerable HBO news hound Anton P. Nym noticed an

bs angel wrote this morning to tell us about her Halo 3 Countdown activity today, which was baking a Halo 3 themed dessert. She made a pretty cool cake in the shape of a pink Mjolnir helmet. Go check it out and leave your compliments to the chef at Hawty McBloggy. (KP 18:17:52 UTC)

Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 66 is available online. 25 minutes of pre-launch goodness for your listening pleasure.(mnemesis 18:16:00 UTC)

FuzzyWhisper made mention of a cool Cortana shirt that Microsoft was handing out at TGS ’07. Sultry!(mnemesis 18:09:46 UTC)

And… I’m out. That’s all the news from me, for a while. I’ve got to get myself to the airport now, and for the next few days, I’m going to have trouble getting to a place where I can post news. Never fear, though, the HBO crew is on the job, and mail sent to…

Press Start Online seems to have broken the news embargo on full reviews of the game by a little bit (That embargo ends at 12:01 pm, PST, today) – but hey, everyone makes mistakes. I don’t think you can write a full review WITHOUT some minor spoilers, so ANY full review we link to should…

GotFrag DPAD has a summary of the action yesterday at MLG Orlando; go see how folks are doing! (Louis Wu 08:23:06 UTC)

SketchFactor posted a cool image of himself and Luke Smith wearing some new armor variants; you can see a screenshot in his Screenshots section on Bungie.net. Because the Screenshots section in general is rife with spoiler pics right now, we’re hosting a LOCAL copy of that particular image, if you don’t want to risk a…

Veegie let us know that his friend Tural has made a program that can generate player images from Bungie.net; it’s a Windows executable. An example of the output can be seen here, and the actual program (52k) can be downloaded here.(Louis Wu 08:12:34 UTC)

Bungie put up a new Top Story last night – this one is a How-To on matchmaking playlists. Lots of good info in there! As with all their recent How-To guides, you’ll eventually be able to find a permanent link off the Guide page. Looks like Samir Patel was first with the news. (Louis Wu…

Psychophan7 has put together a page containing all the Halo 3 player emblems, so that you can begin choosing your Spartan customization. simpsonsrule thought this was pretty cool, and sent us a link. He’s right, it’s pretty cool, but the HTML page contains 80 separate images, and weighs in at nearly half a meg total,…

Haloplayer let us know that Countdown Comic #5 is now up at Injured Knee Productions. I think Microsoft might have found a new superhero. (While you’re there, there’s also a link to a Guitar Hero Spartan he created, in that same post.)(Louis Wu 21:49:46 UTC)
