Vector40, of the Junkyard, points out a newish Halo review over at Monolithic Illusions. Reading the text, you might get the impression that they weren’t too impressed… but the final score was a 9.5/10. Go figure. We’ve added it to the Reviews page. (You know… while you’re over at the Junkyard, checking out Vec’s review…

Another stunt movie: Phear X has created a 13 mb, 1:41-long clip showing how to rocket jump to the top of Sidewinder. It’s currently being hosted by Brian Towne, of mythica.org (Brian, you da man!) – grab it! (Looks like it’s also on the Psyjnir Complex’s Hotline server – you guys rock, too. 😉 )…

Kurisu has created yet another music video – this one’s a little strange; lots of repeating footage. You can check it out (8 megs, .wmv format set to ‘Paint It Black’) at his site.

genohunter has pointed out a number of new French Halo reviews – Hard Gamers Consoles gave it a 94%, OverGame.com gave it 8.5/10, and HardGamers (more general) gave it a 92%. (He thanked Firfin for the heads-up for these.) We’ve added all of them to our Reviews page.

A couple of months ago, GameKult.com (a French gaming site) put up their Halo review… since then they’ve added a mind-numbing 152 screenshots. Almost none of them show unique material – they’re simply a nearly comprehensive look at the first four levels of the game. They are unique to GameKult, though, so we felt they…

Another pair of Halo reviews popped up a couple of weeks ago – we missed ’em (again). The Outer Edge and X-Treme Gaming Radio both liked Halo a lot (A and 98%, respectively)… we’ve added both reviews to our (getting-rather-full) Reviews page. 63 reviews – with an average rating of 95.1%… not too shabby! (Thanks…

Sorry for the downtime… our upstream provider was doing some intrusive testing on the circuit, trying to find some problems which seem to have vanished. It was planned, if that’s any consolation. 🙂 During the downtime, we found another mirror for the Dragula music video – thanks to Nero for this! You can grab either…

John “Xcruiser” LaGaipa sends in a nice little sticker (well, okay, a virtual sticker) for our Miscellaneous Art collection. Check it out!

Metafire has taken a series of pretty pictures of a curious rock formation high on the wall of Blood Gulch… and put them together to show another way up and out of Blood Gulch. (These were originally mentioned on our forum, and are being hosted here with permission.) Check ’em out on our Gameplay Tricks…

Once again, Brian Towne steps forward and provides a home for the latest Halo music vid – you can find it at Mythica.org. 40 megs…

Tom Murphy sends in the second installment of his ‘Casualties of War’ series – it’s a little confusing, since it 1) has a small section that got left out of the introduction, and 2) is labeled Part 2, though the body says it’s Part 1 (the real Part 1 was the introduction). My bad for…

Goodness. Remember those fraternity pranks, where they tried to stuff as many people as possible into a car? TitaniumPez has gone the other way – and stuffed as many vehicles as possible into a small cave on Sidewinder. I’d hate to try coming through that teleporter now… Check it out on our Gameplay Tricks page.

Jason O’Brien has created another image for the Fan Fiction series, ‘The Wanderers’. We’ve added the image link to the story for which it exists, and placed it by itself in our Miscellaneous Art section. Take a look!

While on the subject of the Psyjnir Complex… seems they’ve got a new comics storyline started. Take a look in their Comics section…

Psyrixx, of the Psyjnir Complex, has graciously offered to host the newest Halo music video – you can grab it from the Complex’s Hotline server. (Again, if you don’t have a Hotline client, grab one (they’re free) from BigRedH.) Thanks, Psyrixx! (Other mirror offers gratefully accepted as well, of course.)

Whoa – Halo in Counter-Strike… nearly there! Check out the images of strykerwolf’s latest work in this forum post. I just… wow.

The music videos keep coming in… this time, we have a 4-minute, 40 megabyte video that has E3 2000/nVidia commercial footage put to Soil’s ‘Halo’, created by Spike Bebop. It currently has NO homes – anyone willing to step forward to mirror it? Drop us a line!

The Halo SETI Marines hold their own this week – a new member joins, with almost 1500 units, nicely augmenting the team total (welcome, highlander!). Int_21 holds on to Le Crunch Honneur… but *-=SHARkY=-* is coming up quickly from behind. Fadecourt leaps 70 teammates to take the Frogblast award this week. How did you do?…

Well, kiss mah grits – another easter egg has surfaced. Space Cowboy has discovered some graffiti left on the Maw by Ferrex, one of Halo’s level designers. Now what I want to know is… did he make it to the Longsword after finding this? Check out all the details on our Easter Eggs page.

Another victim of our overwork… Amechwarrior uploaded a series of pics showing his (and his brother’s) efforts to get on top of Blood Gulch – the first batch went up almost a week ago, though he was still a good distance from the top. On Saturday, he uploaded a new batch, showing what the map…
