Gamesradar listed 10 Industry-Shattering Stolen Exclusives – and Halo makes the list, for its yanking from the Mac platform back in 2000. Thanks, elessar787.(Louis Wu 14:12:33 UTC)

What If, Halo Style: Round 2
What if you had a website with a regular Friday update, but you forgot it was Friday? Hawty McBloggy has posted her latest ‘What If’ scenario (which has nothing to do with the day of the week, really) – she wants to know about map remakes. Go check out the post (which has some great…
