GameCritics.com has put up a great interview with Shi Kai Wang, 3D Art Lead for Halo 3. Everything from how to get into the industry, to what Halo 3 means to the crew, to Transformers past and present are covered – well worth the read. Thanks, Chi Kon…

Cody Miller noticed that there was a short piece written by Eric Nylund in the current Game Informer magazine – he discusses writing stories for video games, and Halo’s story comes up. (Louis Wu 12:36:17 UTC)

Sane Intolerant let us know that there’s a new ep of Halo Toy Box up – his 360 is busted, so content for the next while will focus on Nintendo stuff. (He’s still using Halo action figures, which makes it semi-relevant here.)(Louis Wu 12:34:36 UTC)

The final episode of Red vs Blue’s Blood Gulch Chronicles was released this morning – it’s up for everyone now (sponsors and the general public alike). It answers some questions, wraps up some storylines, and, well… go watch it. No spoilers here. (L…

BOLL, unhappy with the idea that ZZoMBiE13 got a full week’s worth of guest strips for One One Se7en, while he only got a single day, has submitted extra strips for your viewing pleasure. Check out today’s strip and see if you approve!(Louis Wu 15:08:…

We already follow a couple of comics done using action figures – the first was Miniature Halo, hosted right here. More recently there’s been Halo, Articulated and Halo Toy Box. But one we haven’t covered specifically has been unfolding in Elnea’s Red …

Luke McKay has done another drawing of Cortana – and I think you can tell, his style is changing a bit…(Louis Wu 13:32:19 UTC)

Wow, that didn’t take long. PFG noticed a Legendary Edition Spartan Helmet for sale on eBay – current bid (with just over four and a half days left) is a bit over $50. These helmets will eventually house Halo 3 discs – but not for a few months.(Louis …

Bungie has posted the winners of their Forza car modification contest (they originally announced it here) – all four winning cars are pretty danged cool! Check ’em out. Thanks, Radiago713.(Louis Wu 12:37:16 UTC)

411Mania.com has reviewed Halo 2 Vista; overall, they liked it. (They gave it a rating of 8.1/10, with high marks for Sound and Fun Factor.) They did gripe that using a keyboard/mouse combination results in definite lag – this is the first time I’ve h…

On the other end of the spectrum, Exclaim tried out the Halo 3 Beta – and were pretty much unimpressed. Too many 14-year-olds teabagging the reviewer’s corpse, apparently.(Louis Wu 12:25:32 UTC)

Next Generation has posted a review of the Halo 3 Beta – written by Edge magazine. They’re overwhelmingly positive; they feel Bungie has taken the lessons of Halo 2 (and Halo) to heart, and are on track to release a game that will surpass both. High …

Games.net is hosting what has got to be the most bizarre gaming news feature I’ve seen in a while: a video of gameplay on the Halo 3 Beta (nothing special), coupled with ‘factoids’ – info about laser weapons developed in real life, the definition of a…

Seraphim wrote to say that work has continued apace on the Metroid Online mod for Halo CE (no, they’re not switching to Vista); swing by their site for the latest news. There’s a movie up at Gametrailers, showing off their newly coded morphball – pres…

Heh – we got word from Trevor Mack that there was a monster montage at Halo3Forum; 22 minutes, 350 mb, gameplay from a host of players. I told him that we generally don’t front-page H3F montages unless the request comes from the site owner – and that …

Relentless Azn stopped by to point out an upcoming 2v2 Slayer tournament this Saturday in Kent Washington – check his link for more details. (Hint for folks posting updates like this on our forum – at least say WHERE your tournament is! The location o…

Mike, from Halomega, let us know that there’s lots of new content up at their site. There’s a new videos section up (they’ll host your member vids, as well), they’ve got a new Sig of the Week contest, and they’re looking for your opinion on Halo 3 as …

So, we mentioned a hack recently that will let you play Halo 2 Vista on Windows XP – and today, a group known as Razor 1911 released their own crack (I read about it here first, but Cody Miller saw it at Next-Gen) – in response, Dennis Powers, of Halo…

Took us a little while to reach everyone, and get all our ducks in a row… but the results for the HBO Zune Giveaway are now online! On top of the 4 Zunes we promised when this whole thing started out, we’ve convinced Bungie to provide some extra pri…

A week ago, we mentioned the new stuff coming from Master Replicas – a pair of weapon replicas – but at the time, the only info about these could be found on store sites. Last night, ODSTAdrianFii noticed that some info – and a pair of photos – are no…
