Hedgemony noticed that Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori took the ‘Top Video Game Award’ for their work on Halo: Reach during the 26th Annual ASCAP Awards Celebration. Not too shabby!(Louis Wu 14:46:47 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, dc89 was the first to point out ‘Till I Get There’, a montage from SaLaYa. It’s not like other montages you’ve watched; SaLaYa does some amazing trick-jumping within Matchmaking, and makes plays that will simply drop your jaw. RVideo p…

hezekiah noticed that the latest Achievement HORSE -er, PIG – went live last night (links in the forum post); Jack and Geoff whipped through a 3-letter contest in record time. Hard to tell a lot about the maps this time…(Louis Wu 12:58:49 UTC)

This week’s Halo Bulletin from bs angel and the fine folks at 343 Industries should be music to the ears of any Halo fan. Go and check it out! (It’s also available in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if you’re having trouble getting the bottom portion of the…
