Another small Halo 2 Vista impressions article at GameDaily – once again, they like it.(Louis Wu 13:40:48 UTC)

Gamespot has a video comparison of some of the improvements in graphical quality to Halo 2 – clips from the Xbox, Xbox360, and Windows Vista are all shown. Does a nice job (at least in the HD version of the vid) of really showing how much better the Vi…

Matt6908 sent us a note about High Resolution Halo, a new site he’s kicked off. We don’t normally mention new sites, but this one is chock-full of cool assets like medals, matchmaking ranks, emblems, cutouts, HUD pieces… a cornucopia of resources if …

Okay – I went through all mail to us in the past week, and plucked out some stuff that didn’t get mentioned, but maybe should have. It’s in (mostly) chronological order… sort of. First up: NuclearPinguin and Lt tuma put together a trailer for Halo th…
