Today’s Tag and Release feature at Bungie.net focuses on the Hero logos seen everywhere in Matchmaking last week – lots of great shots! Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 18:51:03 UTC)

It’s Battle of the Magazines! Game Informer has posted ‘Halo: Reach Developer Commentary‘ – a seven-minute video narrated by Marcus Lehto that gives you an overview of what you can expect from Halo: Reach. (The imagery is simply the screenshots and art assets already seen last night in the Gamereactor article, but the discussion has tons of new details.)(Louis Wu 18:47:02 UTC)

New comics for you today:

• Grin + Bear It gets more tasteless over at Hawty McBloggy’s
• TTL Demag0gue lets us know about Reclaimer 239 (Cold Storage) – and we learn something new, and surprising.

Go read.(Louis Wu 16:45:40 UTC)

Edge has a new interview online – this one is with Mission Lead Niles Sankey and Campaign Lead Chris Opdahl, and it discusses battle sizes, and Bungie’s approach to combat for Reach. Go read it!(Louis Wu 14:50:46 UTC)

Not sure how we missed this – but GameInformer put up a second article a few days ago with an in-depth interview with Marty O’Donnell. (It’s matched up with the Reach Score video we mentioned last week.) It’s a pretty interesting read! Go take a look.(Louis Wu 11:36:50 UTC)

The Reach content embargo ends today, January 25 – and Sweden got to that date long before the US. Over at NeoGAF, Syringe pointed out coverage by Swedish gaming site Gamereactor – the text is in Swedish (though Google will translate… kind of), but the pictures are understandable in any language. There’s concept art, screenshots we’ve never seen, and environment art (and images from the reporter’s trip to Bungie’s offices, as well) – go take a look! (A thread on our forum has already picked out some of the juicier tidbits…) Update: DJ Lars has translated the first half of the article – go check out a much more readable version! (Thanks, DJ Lars!)(Louis Wu 11:04:39 UTC)

Asian Inferno sent us a link to a video he created in 2006, and uploaded to YouTube before Halo 3 was released – it sets Halo cutscene action to a song from the Mulan soundrack. To my surprise, it holds up reasonably well! However, there’s something really disturbing about watching Sgt. Johnson singing with Donny Osmond’s voice… (Louis Wu 11:00:22 UTC)

Hedgemony found some old World War 2 propaganda posters (Australian ones, since that’s where he lives), and updated them with Halo content to celebrate Australia Day today. Take a look! (Louis Wu 10:57:13 UTC)

Morpheus stopped by with HaloContest’s December 09 montage – take a look!(Louis Wu 10:56:04 UTC)
