Something Different
The Movie Peer Review Rating System continues to evolve; we’ve begun to add tips for movie makers, and you can find them on the Submitter FAQ page.

Site focus
To the 42 million people sending us links about the Xbox360 and its leaked specs… thanks, but we’re not an Xbox site, we’re a Halo site. And while it’s likely that one (or more) versions of Halo will eventually RUN on this hardware, we’re not the place to bring you information about its wireless capabilities,…

Stuffo’s 2 bits on a Halo movie
In the absense of any REAL information about a big-screen Halo movie (all the information ANYBODY has at this point was summed up in a February piece in Variety), How Stuff Works has posted ‘Halo: The Musical’, a short piece explaining what they DON’T want to see happen. It’s just like a million forum posts…

Praetoria Guard Vids – now with MPRRS approval
A few weeks ago, we mentioned some movies made by the Praetoria Guard, a Halo 2 clan. Recently, they submitted their work to the Movie Peer Review Rating Service – not for hosting, but to obtain feedback so that they could make their works better. All four submissions passed, with flying colors – reviewers were…

Covenant Dropship, Analyzed
A new work from Stephen Loftus – he’s put the Halo Covenant Dropship under his microscope, and taken a close look at its capabilities, with plenty of cool in-game visuals. Give it a read! (There’s more stuff in the queue for today, but it’s gonna have to wait – it’s Mother’s Day, after all, so…

Spraylo: Combat Devolved
Bitter and dejected, Dev created a new comic strip to pour his unhappiness about Halo 2 into. The first few episodes aren’t very funny – but who knows, maybe it’ll get better?

MPRRS – A Status Report
Wow. The Movie Peer Review Rating System turns one month old today – and I think it’s surpassed our hopes for it already! In the past 30 days, our volunteer reviewers have rated 79 films, passing 21 of them – just over a quarter. That SERIOUSLY decreases the amount of watching I, personally, have to…

Red vs Blue episode 56, ‘Calm Before The Storm’, has been posted for sponsors. (This is also a notice to the general public that the free versions will be available in about 2 days – but that won’t stop the flood of email telling us that once they go up…) It’s all about Lopez and…

Enemy At The Gates
I meant to get to some of these yesterday – but then I was gone for most of yesterday. The MPRRS has approved a new slew of movies – first off the blocks is a film called ‘Enemy at the Gates’, a Halo 2 version of the big-screen film of the same name. This one…
