Last summer, Halo Mac went Universal – you had to pay $5 for the upgrade, but for folks with Intel Macs, it would run considerably faster. HookMeUpImLocal noticed that 2.0.2 was released yesterday – mostly bug fixes and tweaks. Grab the update from A…

Dweezle stopped by this week with the Tied the Leader update – swing by their site for a couple of new pieces (they’re still recovering from their Halo 3 bacchanalia) – there’s a 22 Questions interview with Kevin Steele, of RetroBlast (not even REMOTE…

GhaleonEB noticed a small item on the latest EGM Live podcast – sounds like the crew is headed up to Kirkland to see some Halo 3 singleplayer this week. Yes, you can be jealous now. (Louis Wu 10:29:21 UTC)

Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #48 is now up – and I must say, it’s a little disturbing. (Looks like Gravemind noticed it before I got a chance to post this.)(Louis Wu 10:20:18 UTC)

Luke, on Bungie.net, has posted a short article, showing off some of the fan-created Forza cars that have resulted from Bungie’s offers for free (virtual) schwag – I’m thinkin’ Pimp My Ride’s gonna be calling any minute. Thanks, Fires7orm.(Louis Wu 10…

Interesting – X1Zero noticed a pair of scaled weapon replicas up for preorder right now at GameStop – a BR55 Battle Rifle, and a Covenant Carbine, both being attributed to Master Replicas, and both due in early September. (No pictures yet.) Back in Fe…

Today kicks off a series of guest One One Se7en strips created by ZZoMBiE13 – you might remember his work in our Miscellaneous Art section. If today’s strip is any indication, it’s gonna be a good week…(Louis Wu 18:21:53 UTC)

Wow. Halo 2 Vista came out a few weeks ago – so did Shadowrun. Both are Vista-only, both debuted for $49.99 each. Now you can buy the pair at Circuit City – for $39.99. (The deal is actually labeled as ‘Free Shadowrun with the purchase of Halo 2’.) Th…

20th Century Fox has signed a deal to become the primary licensor for Halo, according to this story in Variety – this doesn’t mean the Halo movie is back on the table, but it DOES mean that you’ll be seeing a “broad array of products, from books to ap…

The official press release for the McFarlane Toys deal with Microsoft is now up on the Spawn.com website – it contains a breakdown of the proposed action figure lineup, expected in stores in Spring 2008, as well as a shot of the Master Chief prototype…

The game begun last week with the introduction of Adjutant Reflex is in full swing; our ARG forum is buzzing. (There are now almost 500 people signed up there – pretty amazing, for a site that didn’t exist 4 days ago). Again, we’d like to point out a …

wii60 has a collection of rumors about E3 ‘O7, purportedly from an E3 Floor Manager – among the tidbits was this: “Bungie working on new title/series not related to anything in the Halo/Marathon Universe.” I guess we’ll see when E3 rolls around. Thank…

Comic Book Resources was present at a presentation at Wizard World Philly, where Brian Bendis (author of the upcoming ‘Halo: Uprising’ comic from Marvel this summer) talked a little about what folks could expect. Don’t read it if you don’t want ANY in…

Sigafoos let us know about The Riot 52 – just before taking off for a huge clan gathering/LAN. 25 minutes, 10 mb, lots of mockery. Go listen!(Louis Wu 17:47:10 UTC)

A couple of montage offerings mentioned on our forum recently – Nick Burgos pointed out a collaboration between a number of fans, and trigger119 put together his own footage. Take a look.(Louis Wu 17:40:08 UTC)

Bizarre – the rumor that wouldn’t die. IGN is bringing back discussion of Halo on the DS. (This last came up back in January.) Thanks, The Lamonster.(Louis Wu 17:37:05 UTC)

Wow… I’m pretty discouraged today. We have a lot of company this weekend (a half-dozen people from two separate branches of the family), so I haven’t been near a computer for a while… but when I checked this afternoon, I found several dozen emails…

Major Silva built a Spike Grenade, and wrote up directions so you could do the same. Take a look.(Louis Wu 13:10:17 UTC)

Been a long night – but Bungie put up its standard Weekly Update a few hours ago – it’s a pretty interesting read. Lots of juicy tidbits about music, a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at bug-squashing, and good old-fashioned fanboyishness. No Mister…
