Bryan Simon is quickly becoming a voice to be heard in the musical Halo community – his newest track is called ‘One Shot on my X’, and you can watch it on YouTube, read Bryan’s thread on Bungie.net, or download the MP3 from us (3.2 mb). I’m a little suspicious, though… I think he wrote…

Harabek found a rather massive Halo 3 machinima entitled ‘Why we kill’ over on YouTube – it’s not his, nor does he know the creators, but he was impressed enough to bring it to our forum’s attention. The message – that losing your humanity can be worse than losing your life – is one not…

The latest article is up at Ascendant Justice – vociferous has continued the ‘Architecture of War’ series, and Part III looks at The Enemy. He makes the argument that the opponents you face are, in many ways, the most critical part of any encounter – more important than The Environment and The Sandbox – and…

Your Halo playing has to take place this weekend without a double experience playlist (unless you want to count Ranked Big Team Battle) – and this is true for next weekend, too. Why? It has to do with the release of the September Matchmaking update, which is coming in late September, in time for Title…

He hasn’t left the house yet, but Fairfax (Marissa’s Bunny) has been getting his Halo 3 game on. First he tried on some helmets (he skipped the one that was OBVIOUSLY too big), then decided he’d just play some Halo 3. (Check out those slick A40s!) Follow his latest exploits in the gallery we set…
