Send in your submissions about your favorite games to play on steam, fun gems you’ve discovered hidden in the store, and your in-game stories from steam games. Get ’em in quick, before time is up!

Apparently, the February 2009 issue of GamePro will contain new info about both Halo Wars, and and interview with Bungie about Halo 3: ODST. Sounds tasty!(Louis Wu 11:59:52 UTC)

Recon Sandwich, anyone?
Do you really want to have your own set of Halo Spartan armor, but can’t see yourself building your own helmet? Hawty McBloggy’s got your back – she went through and found nine regular items that look like Spartan helmets. Grab one, hollow it out, you’re on your way. (Legal note: this post in no way actually ENCOURAGES you to do this.)(Louis Wu 11:57:15 UTC)

The Evolution of Brutes
I recently stumbled across a nice piece of Brute-flavored artwork over at High Impact Halo – BierWiser sketched a little piece, and then colored it. (I like the uncolored version better, myself, but you can make up your own mind.) Check it out!(Louis Wu 11:48:39 UTC)

Rampancy Tackles Floodgate
Rampancy.net is back with another podcast – Narcogen and Blackstar discuss Floodgate, the fifth level of Halo 3. This one is 52 minutes long, 48 mb large (in mp3 format), and part one of their level coverage. It’s available in both MP3 and MP4 formats – if you’re not seeing download links in the posts, it means you’re not logged into Rampancy.net. Go listen!(Louis Wu 11:45:48 UTC)

Halo Wars news from CES
Lots of people got us the news that Steve Ballmer released at the CES Keynote last night – elessar was first with a pointer to Joystiq’s writeup, but PriorMarcus wasn’t far behind with a link from Kotaku. (Bungie’s Jim M. sent us an LA Times link – but it has bad info, so you might want to pass on it.) The key points: a playable demo will be released on February 5 (looks like that Dutch site was on target), and the US release has been brought FORWARD to February 28 (now only a day behind Europe, instead of in the following month). The release date was confirmed by Major Nelson (thanks, r3gr3t). So: test it out in 4 weeks, and if you like it, be ready to play it 3 weeks after that!(Louis Wu 11:36:42 UTC)

Bungie’s Bountiful Blog Bazaar
Once again, a late posting spree on the Bungie Blog brings you a wealth of new videos that I should start letting you know about in the evenings… here we go:- urk points out the sixth episode in Darknai’s ‘The Forgotten Spartans’ machinima; he’s totally right about the music. (If you like this, here are the rest: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5)
- A writeup of Halcylon’s Epictage Trailer might amuse you into checking out the film – you should, it’s quite nice.
- The Top 10 Halo 3 series is up to episode 19 – and the latest looks at most embarrassing/bizarre suicides. (This might be my favorite of the series.)
Whoa… if you watch everything linked here, you’ll need almost 1 hour and 17 minutes…(Louis Wu 11:18:07 UTC)
