Geeks.com is offering a refurbished version of the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360 for $170 (with free shipping) right now – not a bad deal! (Buying a refurbished 360 is always something to think twice about – but this is a nice model at a nice price.)(Louis Wu 19:10:54 UTC)

Gamasutra has an interesting article looking at what keeps people playing games. Of the nine titles in the study, Halo 3 was second in the percentage of players earning a campaign completion achievement (finishing the game), with a respectable 71% or so meeting that goal – but smack-dab in the middle of the pack (at…

Bungie’s Comm Chatter has word of a minitage (well, it’s almost 4 minutes long, seems like it’s sort of a regular montage) – gameplay by Foley, editing by Phurion. Lots of sniping. Some of it is really nice sniping. Timing rocks.(Louis Wu 17:58:21 UTC)

Pacific Penguin and A Bad Vibe played through the Halo trilogy on Legendary difficulty, and put together a 17-minute, two-part montage of some of the highlights. Really cool in concept – implemented, a bit less so. (Editing is nearly nonexistent, clips have very, very little to do with one another, transitions are abrupt and jarring,…

pete_the_duck decided to see what sort of changes there might be to parts of Kizingo Boulevard, depending on the time of day you were looking. His findings are interesting. (They also goaded Marty into admitting that ‘Siege of Madrigal’, the haunting piano piece from Myth that has been included in every previous Halo game as…
