Phoenix Sabe pointed us to this thread at Bungie.net – he claims that he’s got confirmation that Nathan Fillion, who plays Mal in Firefly and Serenity, can be heard in one of the new gameplay clips coming out of Leipzig. There’s no mention of him on the IMDb page for Halo 3 – but that…

deftangel let us know that the official BBFC rating for Halo 3 (the game, not the extra discs this time around) is “15” – so the “12” rating of the supplementary discs in the Limited and Legendary editions is overriden. (The rating page also reveals that there are 41 minutes worth of cutscenes – a…

MCV confirms that Prima and Piggyback (the companies that created the Halo 2 strategy guide) are once again working together to bring you the Halo 3 Official guide, which will be on store shelves before the game. Do your best to avoid spoiling yourself!(Louis Wu 10:27:59 UTC)

There’s a ton of Halo news waiting to be posted – but I haven’t been around much the last couple of days. Start with tonight’s Bungie Weekly Update – more will come tomorrow. Sounds like Bungie’s busier than I am… (You can, as always, read it in our Weekly Update Archive if you prefer.)(Louis Wu…

Day Two of 1Up’s massive Halo 3 coverage is now up – a post-mortem interview with Tyson Green and Lars Bakken about what was learned from the beta, a quick look at Guardian and Last Resort, and a blog entry that looks back at Halo 1. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 21:44:19 UTC)

Velez notes that Gamersyde has two new not-so-shakey cam videos of part of the Tsavo Highway level, plus footage of the replay feature. I’m tsalivating now!(mnemesis 17:53:28 UTC)

The writers are quiet this week. There are three stories for your reading pleasure in the Fan Fiction section today. Enjoy them. Pax.(Crux Fidelis 15:23:52 UTC)

Today’s One One Se7en reminds us that classics can be puns, and puns can be classic. Sometimes. Or not, as the case may be.(mnemesis 06:50:26 UTC)

Um… I’m not sure I understand all that’s going on here… but some weird stuff showed up on our forum this morning. Before you go there, though – visit This Spartan Life; it seems to start there (check the front page, then visit their episodes page)….

Avateur (and Menelven) point out that over at Gamersyde, there’s a shakeycam version of Neil Blomkamp’s second Halo live-action short. This one shows combat between ODSTs and Brutes, and I’m guessing it was shown (and filmed) at Leipzig this week. As w…

1Up.com has begun its nearly month-long Halo 3 intense coverage – the first three items are up now. A new screenshot gallery (with a great collection of new shots), a hands-on preview of Halo 3’s fourth campaign mission, and a blog from editor Jeremy …

More writeups of the IMAX Halo 3 showing Tuesday night – from professional journalists at The Seattle Times and fansites like GruntsRUs. Everybody loved it!(Louis Wu 10:31:50 UTC)

More footage, mostly from Leipzig: Daily Motion and TeamXbox both have different sizes of the same IGN video – a nice multiplayer montage. In fact, Oliver from Halo Base (in Germany) sent us a link that contains all the clips they’ve found so far – go…

A lot of people pointed out that we neglected to mention that Marvel’s first episode of Halo: Uprising went on sale yesterday. Consider yourself informed. (Feedback on our forum – full of spoilers, so don’t read this unless you’re done with the issue -…
