Been a little while since we’ve seen a roundup of top Video Game Makers – good to know IGN’s on it. Bungie makes the list! Thanks, Nexus. (The Top 20 still aren’t online yet.)(Louis Wu 15:59:39 UTC)

mastrbiggy came home from San Diego Comic-Con with a bunch of giveaway schwag – and he wants to give it away! Swing by and enter your name into the hat; he’ll be picking names at random next week. ONI patches, a FUD poster, and a cool camo bag – how ca…

Postmortem noticed an interesting thing – Ayelet Zurer, who plays Major Mehaffey in Forward Unto Dawn, seems to have also played a part in the ‘Remember Reach’ commercials released in the summer of 2010 to promote the upcoming Halo: Reach. (The charac…

mastrbiggy collected three SDCC posters (two Master Chief and Cortana, one Forward Unto Dawn), then got them all signed to Reach and back. All three have been put up for auction on eBay (one | two | three) – with 100% of the final sale price going to …

Yesterday, we mentioned some Spartan Ops footage from SDCC. Today, there’s more (thanks, CyReN). Good quality, decent gameplay.(Louis Wu 15:58:51 UTC)

Wins, fails, and lulz. And lots of Yoinks. MixMaker1 recently achieved Inheritor status, and to celebrate, he’s created an Inheritage. It’s pretty long – but it’s fun.(Louis Wu 22:48:00 UTC)

Neil Blomkamp thanks Halo (in a twisted way) for his current success… nice! (Maybe?) Thanks, thebruce0. (Louis Wu 22:46:02 UTC)

RVideo remastered a classic Halo 2 montage from 2006 – it’s a labor of love. Go read his post at The Halo Forum, watch the video, watch the comparison video. Cool stuff.(Louis Wu 14:35:53 UTC)

The Machinima panel that took place at SDCC yesterday had a short (6-minute) section with the cast and crew of Forward Unto Dawn – and that bit is now online on YouTube. Thanks, Hypertrooper!(Louis Wu 19:28:39 UTC)

Annnd… another piece of the puzzle. Greenskull’s released a ‘Making Of Forward Unto Dawn’ video – a few clips we’ve seen before, but plenty we haven’t. Go watch.(Louis Wu 17:12:18 UTC)

IGN’s got a nice close-up look at the Master Chief’s suit from FUD. Even before effects, that thing looks awesome! Thanks, AceLegacy.(Louis Wu 01:13:14 UTC)

Tons of new content from The Tyrant – yesterday, he posted two videos showing off some Big Team Battle gameplay with himself, Greenskull, and Nak3d Eli (Game 1 | Game 2), and today, he’s got a joint LASO run through Exodus with RC Master, just in time…
