Too big for their britches?
Not really Halo news, per se – but it’s pretty intriguing for Bungie watchers; RotaJota pointed out an article in the Kirkland Reporter that suggests that Bungie might be leaving that town. They’re outgrowing their current digs – and apparently the space they need is simply unavailable nearby. The amazing part of all this is that they moved into that building just three years ago – how fast are they expanding, anyway?(Louis Wu 16:28:11 UTC)

Triple Trouble
Over at GotGame, there’s an article discussing the idea that game trilogies might not be the best thing for fans. It compares games to books and movies, and explains why a story arc spread over three games can cause problems down the road. Halo is used as a prime example. (Louis Wu 16:27:34 UTC)

Raising Money – it’s Child’s Play

It’s always cool when gamers make good!(Louis Wu 14:43:57 UTC)
