Intriguing. We know that Halo 2 Anniversary was released with Blur-created CGI cutscenes… but apparently the original (in-engine style) scenes were being worked on at some point… and some NeoGAFfers found a way to see them. There are results in thi…

Wow, very cool views. Gamecheat13 has broken out of the Halo 5 Beta space, and provided some flythroughs. Love this! Thanks, gamerguy2002.(Louis Wu 23:17:31 UTC)

The Halo Cutscene Library has grown again today – we’re making the Halo 2 Anniversary Terminals available for viewing and downloading. Once again, they’re available in 1080p, 720p, and 360p, but audio is stereo-only (this is because they were recorded …

This was posted on DBO, but it’s Halo-related, so I’m bringing it up here. Our very own Leviathan is creating a commissioned piece for Blackt1g3r… and today the original concept sketch and a WIP piece were sent along. Amazing. Hire the guy – he’s rea…

Rockslider has revisited the concept of filling frozen characters with needles, and then unfreezing them… this time with an Elite, and 1000 needles. (Yeah, that’s a lot.) Check it out… booms galore!(Louis Wu 22:07:51 UTC)

Cody Miller jumped on the heavy-duty job of filming the cutscenes/terminals from The Master Chief Collection pretty early on… but life’s been so busy here that we’re JUST NOW beginning to get some of that content out there. First up – the CGI cutscen…

Wow. Check out this video from PlayerPiano – Sonya Belousova listens to the Halo theme for a few seconds… and then plays her own take on it. Amazing. (She covers a number of other video game themes in the same video.) Go watch! Thanks, Jeff. (Louis W…

Did You Know Gaming? has released a Halo version – lots of facts that are probably well-known to hardcore fans, but might contain some interesting new tidbits for many people. (I saw a lot of HBO-originated material here… kind of nice!) Thanks, gamer…

Rockslider is kicking off the new year with another ‘freakiness and fun’ compilation – some funny clips, some sad clips, some just-plain-weird clips. Amazing how much fun there is to be had in the original title! (Louis Wu 18:24:18 UTC)
