Whoa – Cracked gets serious
Cracked has a relatively serious article that makes the point that games are still in their infancy; it contains NSFW content, but overall, it’s surprisingly thoughtful and fun to read. One shot is taken at Halo, making it relevant here. Thanks, Monochron.(Louis Wu 14:15:32 UTC)

Pre-order bonus for Reach (in the UK, at least)
Robbert014 noticed that UK-based game resellers are listing a pre-order bonus for the Standard Edition of Halo: Reach – a downloadable Recon Helmet variation. Folks on our forum are wondering if this is available in the US, as well, and if it’s just the Standard edition, or all three editions. If we find out more, we’ll let you know! Update: DOH! Didn’t notice the tidbit in the official press release that“As a special bonus, fans can receive a token to unlock an exclusive in-game Spartan Recon Helmet, by picking up a copy of the game on launch day at North American retail stores, and outside of North America by making a pre-order reservation at participating retailers.”
Solves that problem… (thanks, Halo2uman)(Louis Wu 18:21:57 UTC)
