Apple changes the Halo graphic on their Quicktime Showcase page. The Halo/Marathon logo is replaced.

Ultimate Gamer posts a preview of Halo.

Kudos to Nic Brennan, who sent us this way-cool animated Halo logo (Flash needed). Sorry, Nic, it took us so long!

BraveHamster’s “723” find yesterday is elaborated on at the Marathon’s Story page. Go visit for the lowdown!

Screenshots page cleaned up a bit (with all the juicy new shots added). More housecleaning coming soon.

Just what is that logo on the wings of the Covenant scooters? Join the discussion!

Marathon logos abound! Steve Campbell sends in even more examples. Did these marines come off the Marathon, or is Bungie playing with us?

More Marathon Logo Sightings: Deathwhore sends in a movie still with a “very evident Marathon logo on the moon”, taken at 3:25 on Apple’s newest movie. Nice one!

The Core is back online, in a new home! Congratulations, Ferrex!

Two in a row. Halo Central is back up as well, tonight… but note the URL (old bookmarks won’t get you there.) They’re working on it. Welcome back, guys!

halo.bungie.com updated. New movie (sort of), new screenshots, new look.

Which front image do you see at Bungie’s new Halo page? Some visitors get this image… but others see this one. Let us know if you see any others!

Steve Campbell sends in this tantalizing tidbit… two marathon symbol sightings. The first is on one of the front images at Bungie’s Halo site, knife_fight.jpg. The symbol’s disguised as a suit rivet. The second one can be found in Bungie’s screenshot section, from this image. The symbol isn’t disguised at all… simply hard to see.…

Andreas Moers, of splatterworld.de, sends word of a German mirror for the CGW movie, for those on the other side of the pond that are having trouble getting it through the long line. Thanks, Andreas!

3D Action Gamers Archive is also mirroring the movie. The more, the merrier!

Another mirror for the CGW movie has come online… kudos to FilePlanet for helping out on this one!

Kudos to David Claessens, who sent in this scan from a Next-Generation article entitled “The Death of the Genre” (discussing how Halo doesn’t pigeonhole very well). Thanks, David!

Thanks to Noctavis, who told us to distribute the new CGW movie. (The Core seems to be down.) You’ll find it in QT4 format, or zipped .avi, on our Movies page. (It’s 40 and 48 megs, respectively.) Enjoy!

That Noctavis sure is busy! New scans from the CGW article. Enjoy!

We rocked the PCParadox poll… time to show ZDNet what we’re made of. Go vote for your favorite Third Person Game.
