Some of the best games you’ll ever see
411Mania.com has a summary of the best of E3, and although they felt that Microsoft had blown their chance at locking up the console wars, and although they were VERY unhappy with the Halo 3 trailer, they STILL rated Halo 3 as Best of Show. Heh – not bad.(Louis Wu 12:19:12 UTC)

Halo, Master Chief
You might remember a link we posted last week – a very nice Master Chief drawing at DeviantART. The artist is back, with an awesome piece, created for the San Diego Comic Con – check it out! Thanks, Tactic.(Louis Wu 12:09:02 UTC)

Gamepro Campaign Preview
Gamepro has posted a Halo 3 Campaign Preview, primarily based on the demo given to the press at E3, but including, apparently, information about the REST of the game, as well. (The conclusion of our forum denizens is that they’ve extrapolated this information from some of the leaks that took place around the Halo 3 beta – information gleaned from extracted maps, the Achievements list that showed up on Xbox.com, and so on – but if you want to be certain that you’re not spoiled with ACTUAL Halo 3 story details, you should skip this read.) Thanks, MasterChief2829.(Louis Wu 12:06:01 UTC)

A look at campaign trailers over the years
Ever since the E3 trailer was released last week, I’ve seen occasional ‘it doesn’t feel right’ posts describing the emotions generated by the trailer (usually comparing it to older Halo trailers). Some fans have assumed that this ‘offness’ is due to a lack of time, or effort, by the crew putting together the trailer – but that crew is Film Oasis, the guys behind quite a few bits of Halo goodness over the years. They’re not known for their shoddiness. Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, has looked at ALL major Halo trailers, starting at the 1999 MacWorld trailer, and has come up with a different explanation – the Halo 3 trailers, both the announcement trailer at E3 06 and the current E3 07 trailer, are built in such a way that while fans can get a sense for what Halo 3 might have in store for them, it’s hard to build false expectations and hopes based on what we’ve been given. That is: you won’t be hearing a lot of ‘but I really wanted to play that level! Bungie cheated me!’ complaints, as you did after Halo 2 was released (without the E3 03 level in it). Go read it – it’s pretty interesting.(Louis Wu 17:42:56 UTC)

E3 Halo 3 Demo… audio
The guys at Gamersyde honored the ‘no filming of the screen’ rule during their private Halo 3 gameplay demo at E3 last week – but they DID film Frankie’s face as he played. You can hear all the content, which is what has many people excited. (The rest – the ones who are excited by 9 minutes of Frankie’s face – those people disturb me.) Thanks to many – Mortalis Deus was first.(Louis Wu 16:37:18 UTC)

Dissecting The Halo 3 Campaign Trailer
Earlier this week at E3 Lite, Microsoft and Bungie showed a video of campaign gameplay and cinematic footage from Halo 3. I’ve planned two pieces as a result. The first one examines the trends in the nature of campaign trailers from Halo 1 to Halo 3, and the other will break down the Halo 3 Campaign Trailer scene by scene, and will be ready later this week.

Oh So Beautiful: Shadowrun
Filmed|Edited by me, GTVtrigger.Music: Andrew Bird- Tables and ChairsDescription: This video is intended to showcase my appreciation of the graphics of Shadowrun, but much more than that. I like to see some of the things FASA has put in there like the different posters and things and showcase them here, in this video. There’s lots of cool objects and things in Shadowrun maps, and maybe you’ve missed them because your too busy being a ninja. No more. The original idea is credited to Jamie98s who originally did several of these in Halo 2. We talked it over, so he’s cool with it. Enjoy the movie! Not recommended for short attention spans, and I tried to do my best…even though it doesn’t look like it I had to crop like 80% of the HUD. Many thanks to SubRandom for the poster.

Halo 3 – E3 2007 Trailer
First off, I am not lame. What is lame is how we had to sit and hear MINTZ talk about how he wants to join MTV’s latest reality show ‘Under aged and Engaged’. This was almost as lame as hearing Funkmon broadcast from the closet (hah).
Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer.
Enjoy.

This Ain’t a Scene…
As many of you know, at the E3 Microsoft conference a one-two punch was delivered to Halo fans as we all watched “Arms Raceâ€. Which Bnet described as: A collaboration between Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, WETA Workshop and Origami Digital LLC, brings the first digital short depicting humanity’s struggle to save Earth. You have to see it for yourself.
Our devoted follower, DEL360X was kind enough to inform me that Funkmon was going to upload this video for you all. But seeing as how he failed, I’m uploading this video, plus one more for your viewing pleasure.
This upload is PSP only atm, and being hosted off the server because although I am staff, no one gave me uploading permissions. It’s also zipped. Sorry.

…For the Sake of Yelling
Okay, that IceWeasel guy… he’s just crazy. Makes me laugh… but he’s crazy. He’s followed up ‘…For the Sake of Talking’ (released last week) with …For the Sake of Yelling. It’s only 80 seconds long, but there are a number of WTF moments in there. And flying weapons. And stuff.(Louis Wu 23:13:03 UTC)

RT: Saturday Comic and DVD Art
Hey Everyone, Today’s comic is obviously about the Transformers movie. When we found out that not only did a soda machine turn into a transformer (and maniacally shoot drinks out; sound familiar?), but an actual Xbox 360 did as well (not the drink spitting…
