Mirel warns that Halo 3: ODST has now shown up on warez sites – it’s only a matter of time before videos and other spoilers start making the rounds. If you’re looking to stay unspoiled… now’s the time to start being REALLY careful. Three more weeks!(Louis Wu 14:45:31 UTC)

(Resubmissions from existing submitters can be re-sent until the 10th.) If you have questions, you can email him (email is linked at the top of his forum posts). Winners will be announced on the 15th. (Louis Wu 14:42:56 UTC)
