E3 awards, the good, the bad, and the ugly
Gamespy has put up their Best of E3 awards... Halo snagged a runner-up award in the 'Best Xbox Games' category. Xbox.ign has posted two top 5 games lists (one for each editor) - and Halo made Jeremy's list. Unfortunately, Halo was ignored by Well-Rounded Entertainment and VoodooExtreme - and actively panned by the Stratos Group (4 of the 5 editors called it the Most Disappointing Game of the show). You can't win 'em all... (Louis Wu 21:49:54 UTC) (permalink)
GR drools over Halo
Sharp-eyed Aginor once again spotted a nice review - this time from Game Revolution. It's a first-person account of one man's E3 playing experience, and it's a fun read. Go check it out. (Louis Wu 21:22:40 UTC) (permalink)

More new fan fiction
Vector40 sent in the final part of his 4-part generically titled 'Halo Story'. Marathon fans, take note. (Don't forget, you can read the story in its entirety with the 'More by this author' link.) The Fan Fiction section is up to 150 submissions... (Louis Wu 13:46:05 UTC) (permalink)
Cliffy B on E3
Thanks to Aginor, who noticed another Cliffy B (audio) interview on XGR.com - this time he's giving his thoughts on E3. The second part has a tiny quote on Halo:
Well, Halo looked very solid, I wonder if a first-person shooter can sell a console from a launch. The markets are tricky out there.
(He immediately moved on to Project Gotham, and online console gaming, and other things.) If you're interested in hearing what an Epic developer thinks of the gaming scene, check this out. (Louis Wu 01:44:12 UTC) (permalink)
BRC opens
A new section has opened up at HBO - the Bungie Research Center Photo Archives. You know as much as we do. (Louis Wu 00:31:17 UTC) (permalink)
More Fan Fiction
Anrkey sends in the story of Private Ryles - 'Close Combat: Infiltration'. Check it out in our Fan Fiction section. Nice to see the area is hopping! (Louis Wu 00:29:48 UTC) (permalink)
