We’re taking a deeper look at the Halo 3 screenshots today. Consider it a behind the scenes look at them, with a commentary track from the directory. Except I’m not the director, more the key grip. Key grip though, that’s gotta count for something.

This week we have the chance to talk to Kitty about her involvement in Clan PMS, sordid tales of E3 after-parties and American Cheese. Read on to see why she never gets to sleep, ever.

We’ve released our hi-res versions of some of the screenshots that you’ve been seeing in magazines and web sites for the past few weeks. You can find them in our Halo 3 Screenshots section.

At the Child’s Play annual charity dinner/auction one of the items you can bid on is “A tour of Bungie and a line of dialogue in Halo 3.”

Luke Smith is talking about the Halo 3 campaign footage that he was privvy to last month during his visit to Bungie Studios. He only saw “17.25 seconds” of footage, but he saw enough to write quite a bit about it and detailed every single thing he saw.

There are three new items available at the Bungie Store today: A Bungie hockey jersey, a new womens’ long-sleeve shirt and a Carnage Zone street sign. Yeah, hockey jersey. Best Bungie swag evar.

Short and sour this week, with some interesting snippets, but mostly stuff that will make fans of certain matchmaking playlists really angry and abusive. So to them, we apologize in advance.

Ryan McCaffrey stopped by our forums this morning to point out that Frankie and Eric Nylund are featured in the latest podcast from Official Xbox Magazine. They discuss all of this week’s Halo news and then some, give it a listen.

We had another internal Humpday this week at Bungie Studios, again in Halo 3. So, as you might expect, you’ll read a bunch of vague descriptions of rocks and weapons that may or may not sound familiar.

Luke Smith is taking a brief look at the history of Halo today, posting a retrospective look at the most significant news broken and statements made by EGM. Check out his article and keep checking back at Halo3.1up.com for updates for the next week and a half.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been five whole years since Bungie unleashed Halo on the world! To celebrate this momentous occasion we’ve got a few small announcements that may be of interest to fans of the series as well as a little screenshot from a game we like to call Halo 3.

In this, the week celebrating the fifth anniversary of the release of Halo for Xbox, we asked a few of our media chums what they think about Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 – and what they’re most looking forward to in the next installment. Oh and tomorrow? Boxors will be Roxored.

The new AlpheOne upgrade for Marathon comes with brand new adjustments to the multiplayer and fixes the bugs the players have been experiencing.

Over at Hot Topic they’ve got some new Halo 3 merchandise available. There’s a Halo 3 t-shirt featuring one of the H3 backgrounds you’re already familiar with as well as a Halo 3 hoodie featuring the Halo 3 logo. You can find them online or at their retail locations.

A light update this week, but with heavy news about stuff that’s happening next week, which, coincidentally is the birthday of the original Halo for Xbox. Coincidence? Nothing is a coincidence.

If you haven’t been anywhere near the past Video Games Live! concerts, as in continents away, but have been dying to go, then you’ll be happy to know that VGL! is going to be performing in South America and Europe later this month. Check their site for the date, venue and all the other details.

This week Bungie took on a team of people Joe Tung holds a grudge against, for whatever reason. This just goes to show that if you cross the mighty Joe Tung, you’ll get a Humpday, so go do annoying things to him. I suggest bombarding him with XBL messages.

Since Halo 2 Vista is getting closer and closer, and certain things have changed since we last updated the Vista FAQ, we thought we’d give PC players some more details on what to expect from the forthcoming Vista conversion. New info inside!
