Whoa. Oddworld noticed an announcement on Xbox.com for the Halo Wars Collector’s Edition, which is now available for preorder. Cool stuff in there – a graphic novel, a unique in-game vehicle, a patch, and some cards… but the REALLY big news is that the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack (consisting of Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox)…

PreGame Lobby Episode 8 is now online – 17 minutes long? Wow. Bunch of live-action stuff in this one. (I could have skipped most of the early stuff…) Thanks, Lord Osiris.(Louis Wu 17:49:11 UTC)

Never fear – he’s entered it in OTHER contests, and you’ve still got time to vote! Swing by CollegeHumor, and you’ll be faced with 2-at-a-time faceoffs; you might…

It’s been a couple of months since we mentioned the Halo creations built by the Spore community – but Hawty McBloggy revisited the field this morning, and I have to say, some of the characters she dug up are AMAZING. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 14:16:09 UTC)
