Halo a runner-up, says Gamespot
Gamespot has put up their 'Top Games of E3 2001'... and Halo takes runner-up in the Xbox category to Gun Valkyrie, an action-shooter from Smilebit. Gamespot was clear:
Halo's one-player mission was engaging and challenging, but the slowdown in the four-player split-screen mode was unavoidably visible.
They have not, however, lost hope:
While the framerate in multiplayer was a little rough, we expect that Halo will clean up nicely by the time it's released this November.
Go read the whole thing! (Poking around on Gamespot's site also pointed out this E3 2001 Preshow Hands-on that we seem to have missed from last week... they're pretty psyched about the AI. Check it out.) (Louis Wu 02:13:20 UTC) (permalink)
Chris and tell
Last week's Halo Update (originally at Rampancy.net) has been added to the Update Database - the word of the week is 'Chris'. The 'Chris clan' has just increased to 5 (Barrett, Butcher, Carney, Hughes, and Lee) - the largest group on the Halo dev team (leading the Mat(t)s - Noguchi, Segur, and Soell) and the Pauls (Bertone, Clift, and Russel). Makes you wonder, doesn't it, with all those names out there to choose from... how come 11 members of the Halo dev team share three names? (Louis Wu 01:13:25 UTC) (permalink)
New Miscellaneous Art
What do you get when you take a marine, you blow up all his planets, and you dump him on an alien artifact with no sleep? Griffon, of Halo Command Central, thinks he knows... and sent us a submission for the Miscellaneous Art section to show us. Check out Halo Dude! (Louis Wu 01:00:45 UTC) (permalink)
