Halo - True FINALLY available for everyone
Well, quality has dropped a bit, but FINALLY it's viewable on PCs. Sorry for the delay, and sorry for the quality drop.

Daily Radar looks at the Xbox XDK
Harry Al-Shakarchi sends in this link to a Daily Radar article about the Xbox XDK (Xbox Development Kit), which includes the current version of what the Xbox looks like. GM J.

Of course, only time will tell. And the major uncertainty left is in the games, themselves. If Microsoft can convince developers to deliver some kick-ass games that appear first on the X-Box, well then it might have achance after all.

Matt Soell wades in on our forums about an overzealous Apple employee with vague memories of timelines... sounds a bit Marathonish to me. Matt obviously hasn't got his G4 Cube yet... just like the rest of us. Power to the Cube baby. (Wirehead 06:18:29 UTC) (permalink)
