Halo Mac 2.0.2 released
Last summer, Halo Mac went Universal – you had to pay $5 for the upgrade, but for folks with Intel Macs, it would run considerably faster. HookMeUpImLocal noticed that 2.0.2 was released yesterday – mostly bug fixes and tweaks. Grab the update from Apple.com, or from Destineer’s own page. (Louis Wu 12:18:21 UTC)

TTL Update
Dweezle stopped by this week with the Tied the Leader update – swing by their site for a couple of new pieces (they’re still recovering from their Halo 3 bacchanalia) – there’s a 22 Questions interview with Kevin Steele, of RetroBlast (not even REMOTELY Halo-related, but hey, we were there), and an optimistic piece about the Halo-flavored McFarlane goodies coming soon.

Murphy’s Law
Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #48 is now up – and I must say, it’s a little disturbing. (Looks like Gravemind noticed it before I got a chance to post this.)(Louis Wu 10:20:18 UTC)

Master Replicas Weapons – coming soon
Interesting – X1Zero noticed a pair of scaled weapon replicas up for preorder right now at GameStop – a BR55 Battle Rifle, and a Covenant Carbine, both being attributed to Master Replicas, and both due in early September. (No pictures yet.) Back in February, we mentioned a press release stating that Master Replicas was getting into the game – but it wasn’t known what they’d be making. I guess we know the start of the line…(Louis Wu 23:48:39 UTC)

Halo 3 action figures coming from McFarlane Toys
It appears that Joyride Studios is no longer set to produce more Halo action figure goodness for the release of Halo 3, because McFarlane Toys has announced that they will be doing just that. The line-up includes characters from the game such as Master Chief (check out the attached prototype photo), Cortana, Brutes, Jackals and Grunts, as well as vehicles like Warthogs, Ghosts and the anticipated Brute Chopper. For collectors and gamers alike, this is good news, with McFarlane’s history of quality and highly-detailed craftsmanship. The bad news? These won’t hit stores until Spring 2008.

Free Shadowrun with H2V
Wow. Halo 2 Vista came out a few weeks ago – so did Shadowrun. Both are Vista-only, both debuted for $49.99 each. Now you can buy the pair at Circuit City – for $39.99.

Where’s my Gravemind Underoos?
20th Century Fox has signed a deal to become the primary licensor for Halo, according to this story in Variety – this doesn’t mean the Halo movie is back on the table, but it DOES mean that you’ll be seeing a “broad array of products, from books to apparel to collectible merchandise, in conjunction with the release of “Halo 3″ in September.” For how long? Elie Dekel, executive VP for domestic licensing, says “he’s confident his division can continue to sell licensed products in the next few years until a fourth “Halo” game comes out.” Whee.(Louis Wu 11:36:28 UTC)
