TeamXbox has a Halo Wars media feast – screenshots, gameplay movies, and a pair of cutscenes.

Spriggs is back… after a pretty long break (if you don’t count a short a few weeks ago). I think this one makes more sense if you eat those mushrooms the guy with the ponytail sold you. (And someone needs to tell me if those Pinks are German, or Indian, or French – the accents…

urk has highlighted a really fun-to-watch mongoose dualtage, entitled ‘Roadkill’ – H3WM WakkaWakka and iCantHaveFun show off their splatter skillz in this fast-moving romp.
