"What is your reaction to Microsoft's buyout of Bungie?" poll
Well we almost overlooked this one but Mac OS Rumors have been running a "What is your reaction to Microsoft's buyout of Bungie?" poll. While 30,000 votes have been registered the totals don't add up correctly making the poll somewhat misleading. A majority of voters appear either "furious" or "unhappy". Well that's Mac people for ya! ;) (Ding 13:31:43 UTC) (permalink)

High quality scans from PCG
The night for screens, it seems. The August issue of PC Gamer contained a number of screenshots that have already been scanned on other sites... but a couple were missed, and the quality of the rest did not really do the images justice. We've rescanned all of them, and placed them on our Magazine page in the screenshots section. Of particular interest are the shot of the needlegun, and the concept drawing of the elite covenant.

New Covenant scans from CGM
Fred, of Rampancy Hotline, has upped scans from the August Computer Games Magazine, including a shot of two new Covenant. (One looks like an armored version of the stegosaurus-like creature seen in the E3 trailer.) R.net had some trouble getting them onto their web page... so Chia stepped in and made them available at VistaCartel. Swing by and take a look! Scan quality isn't perfect... but the pics are fascinating! (Louis Wu 01:57:38 UTC) (permalink)
