Gamasutra has a ‘Critical Reception’ article about ODST – they talk to a few different reviewers (folks from the high, middle, and low – or low middle, anyway – end of the scale), to see what they liked and didn’t like about the game. Nice overview.(Louis Wu 17:16:59 UTC)

RvB’s MsValentine turned us on to this image at DeviantART – it’s a pretty cool pic, but what’s cooler is that other DeviantARTists colored it in. MsValentine’s favorite is this one – I’d agree, that rocks! (Louis Wu 17:16:11 UTC)

Comics are light today – folks are playing ODST, as expected. ODS Steve has only a ‘gone fishin’ pic (of sorts)… TTL Demag0gue, bucking the trend, has posted a full episode of Reclaimer. 219 (Trading Blows) has Bold and the Reclaimer… well, trading blows.(Louis Wu 17:15:07 UTC)

GameDaily is posting a strategy guide – it seems to be aimed at selling the Prima guide. An example page is ‘Know Your Enemy‘ – all other pages are easily found in the ‘Training Grounds’ sidebar at the top of the article.(Louis Wu 17:14:13 UTC)

Bunch of new content on Bungie.net already today (I’m really late getting started)… let’s summarize what’s there for you:

• Burnie Burns did a video interview with PPMooCowPP, the Commissioner of Grifball, about the sport.
• HaloCharts has summarized the progress made by folks who took up their Campaign Challenge – wow, those guys killed a lot.
• Some Bungie forum regulars have put together a community challenge: 7 billion grunts KIA by July 7, 2010. Can you help?
• FortNightProduction has posted The Lucky 20 Episode 4 – it’s more bad luck than good.
• Mastercmj2003 has written up a guide to help you get the Vidmaster: Endure achievement.

Good stuff! (And a nice boost to what will likely be a light news day; ODST has taken up quite a bit of my time in the past week, and it’s time to spend a little more time on the people who put food on my table…)(Louis Wu 17:13:21 UTC)
