Year: 2009

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to many people, but at the moment, Bungie has no plans for releasing DLC for Halo 3: ODST. This from Bungie’s Lars Bakken, speaking to GamerZines in London. Thanks, 2900d4u. (Louis Wu 15:13:01 UTC)

Peter Jackson talked to Joystiq after a screening of District 9, the new Neill Blomkamp-directed movie that Jackson produced. The discussion was mostly about the Halo movie (and the Halo Chronicles project that Jackson was also involved with) – sounds like both projects are toast. (Frank O’Connor has said recently that “the Halo movie is…

When the idea of a Halo movie was being bandied about many moons ago we created the Halo Movie Cynics Database: a user-created list that let you propose the most outrageously cliche scene, motif, or piece of dialogue you’d hate to find in a Halo movie. Something that’d make you groan and hide your poor…

He might be done (I’m a few hours late to the party), but Frankie kicked off a thread in our forum, agreeing to answer questions about Halo Legends (if he could). There’s quite a bit of info already there, so even if he’s finished adding new answers, it’s still worth a read.(Louis Wu 00:57:05 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update tonight is very heavy in the picture department – shots from Comic-Con, shots of very cool fan-made armor sent to Bungie, shots of Shishka (okay, some of it could have been left out). There’s also a recap of the 10-year-anniversary video released last week (this time around, you’ve got a link…

IGN, too, was present at the UK showing of Halo 3: ODST; they’ve even got some new screens. (Thanks, Kibbles.) If there are more of these, we’ll compile a single-post list.(Louis Wu 18:23:06 UTC)

The Guardian (a UK mainstay) has posted a preliminary review of Halo 3: ODST, based on a hands-on play session provided by Bungie this week.

Goodies for you today on the BungLog™:Forge Cafe is having a ‘Sandcastle Contest’ – build a sandcastle with Forge, win stuff. More details in their Contest post.The Zoxin It Up! LIVE Podcast will be recording (as the name suggests, live) at 9pm EST tonight. Swing by for the interview with GrifballHUB.com’s Puptastrophe.Arbiter 617 put together…

maximumfear has started a ‘Screenshot Spotlight’ – looks like it’s another sort of ‘Tag and Release’ feature, much like Bungie’s, but picked by him. He’s got two up right now – Star Wars and Films/Movies 1.(Louis Wu 17:23:40 UTC)

2900d4u noticed a video by Kotaku’s Brian Crecente, showing off the Avatar Marketplace on Xbox LIVE. Crecente bought the Halo Warthog, so you can see what you get for 320 MS Points. (Not much, it appears.)(Louis Wu 17:20:19 UTC)
