There’s a new Tag and Release feature up at Bungie.net – the term is ‘owned’, and the sample screens are pure ownage. Can you find better ones? Give it a try.(Louis Wu 17:13:05 UTC)

A new Grin + Bear It went live at Hawty McBloggy’s yesterday – warning, you’ll Lose the Game if you read it. Oops – never mind, you just did anyway.(Louis Wu 16:50:54 UTC)

Dani continues his quest to position ‘Forward Unto Dawn’ as the spiritual successor to ‘Ascendant Justice’ – there’s a new article up called ‘Mapping Reach’, and it’s a doozy. It takes a close look at the tidbits about map layout we’ve been served so far, and does a spectacular job of putting forth some ideas…

Rockslider has decided to summarize the ways down from the first AotCR Bridge – he’s got a few methods up now. He’s still looking for more info. Give his forum post a read, watch the videos, read the commentary on his website, and see if you can help him out!(Louis Wu 14:54:34 UTC)

Looks like Best Buy is stepping up the recent Xbox Elite Spring Bundle (first presented by Amazon, then by Gamestop) – you can still get an Elite with Forza 3 and ODST for $300 – but now you get a $50 gift card, too. Noice! (In Australia, it’s called the ‘Elite Autumn Pack’, and runs…

Not too long ago, Forge Hub and HaloGAF met on the field of battle (that is, Halo 3 multiplayer) for a best-of-three shootout. A Humpday-style writeup went up at ForgeHub yesterday (thanks, Roche178). Good games, and a great writeup!(Louis Wu 18:17:01 UTC)

One Life Remaining, Season 1 Episode 12 is now live – Anthony, Chad and Peter discuss Anthony’s bad date, Kathryn and Chris think about ways to get Anthony back. It’s a soap opera… without any of the scant clothing.(Louis Wu 18:12:34 UTC)

Morpheus posted a couple of links for videos that will help you solve 17’s Labyrinth (we mentioned it Friday). If you were stuck – you shouldn’t be, any more. (Louis Wu 18:08:23 UTC)

This week’s Top Ten list at Halo 3 Screenshots focuses on Swords… and the pics range from funny to seriously badass. Go see.(Louis Wu 19:34:15 UTC)

TDSpiral pointed out some pics of McFarlane Series 8 figures, over at Spawn.com – check ’em out! (Louis Wu 19:32:36 UTC)

It’s Headwear Saturday at Hawty McBloggy’s – check out a Daily Doodle she found, where MC finds out that Stormtroopers don’t always have it so good, and then take a look at a cool piece of wearable headwear (though it’s 75 degrees outside right now – I’m not thinking much about fleece at this point).…

As we mentioned on Friday afternoon, Ferrex was answering lots of questions about Arena on the Bungie.net forum – we’ve made his answers available in a more compact format for your reading pleasure. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 01:12:23 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update continues the pattern of the last few days – information, and lots of it. Swing by and give it a read – there’s lots of clarifications about new game modes and social features. You can, as always, read it in our Weekly Update Archive. (In fact, this week, there’s a tangible…

Overdoziz pointed out a Bungie.net thread in which Ferrex is answering a bunch of questions about Arena. Go check out what’s already up – we might put up an edited transcript later, to make reading a bit easier. (He’s on a lunch break right now.)(Louis Wu 20:05:41 UTC)

More coolness from Shacknews: Brian Leahy adds a third article to his Reach coverage, this one loking at Reach’s Matchmaking and ‘Active Roster’. You absolutely need to read this if you play Halo multiplayer.(Louis Wu 18:16:42 UTC)
