New footage coming, says XboxAddict
Thanks to Adam Daniel, who noticed this little tidbit at XboxAddict.com:
Just wanted to let everyone know that my sources told me that the official halo site at http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo will be going up with new ingame footage, so keep a look out.
Nothing there yet... but we'll keep our eyes peeled! (Louis Wu 14:44:30 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
Blam!... the Halo Seti Marines climb back up to 52nd in the Battle of the Teams... but don't start resting on your laurels, soldiers! As the 7-day stats show, total crunchage hasn't climbed very much... it'd be easy to fall again! (Louis Wu 14:09:21 UTC) (permalink)
Third Coil adds Halo desktop, BungieCam
Joel Day writes to say that he's recently added a Halo desktop to his site, Third Coil. While you're there, select 'Bungie Studios' from the navigation popup on the left - you'll get an image-sized view of the Bungie webcam. (Louis Wu 12:19:07 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Fiction section augmented
Dead men tell tales... sometimes. Mr Bill Jr V sends in a look at life (and death) before Halo... read 'Hell of all seasons' in our Fan Fiction section. (Louis Wu 05:15:08 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo Update Goodness
Last week's Halo Update has been added to the Halo Update Database. Search of the Week is 'Hardy'... in a month and a half, the guy's gone from the beginnings of multiplayer logistics to all-out war. Not bad... (Note: We're hoping Matt can drag these out until the October 5 update; we agree with Narcogen that a full year would be cool.) (Louis Wu 04:54:32 UTC) (permalink)
Rolling Stone screenshot added to archives
While we're uploading older scans... it's about time to add the Rolling Stone image posted by Jesse Simko last month. It was pulled from the September 13, 2001 Rolling Stone, in an article about the Xbox, and it belongs in our Screenshots section.
Official Xbox Magazine scans uploaded
As penance for missing the obvious signs of a Halo demo on the OXBM game disc, we've uploaded versions of the entire 4-page Halo preview to our server. They're pretty much the same as the other versions you've seen floating around, but we've added the bottom tidbits (asides about Iain M. Banks' novels, etc), and we've combined the first two pages into a single scan, the better to see the large tank with. Enjoy!
Time to put up a Press Scans page, I suppose... (Louis Wu 04:26:04 UTC) (permalink)
Halo demo on OXBM's game disc?
Uh, oh... In the preview edition of the Official Xbox Magazine (the one included with October's PC Gamer and September's NextGen magazines) is a page devoted to the disc that will be bundled with each issue. The wording of one section scares me...
It only gets better
When you finally pick up that Xbox and a copy of Halo this November, there'll be plenty of reason to rejoice. But let's face it: one game is never enough. Grab our Dec. 4 issue of Official Xbox Magazine and try your gaming hand at the whole range of Xbox titles you'll be drooling over. Only here will you be able to play jaw-dropping demos of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X, Arctic Thunder, Dead or Alive 3, Cel Damage, Project Gotham, Lord of the Rings, Air Force Delta Storm, and NHL Hitz.
Now, maybe they didn't mention a Halo demo because they were assuming you'd already BOUGHT Halo... but this scares me a bit. There are NO email addresses anywhere in the mag, so we can't ask directly... if anyone from Microsoft, Bungie, or Imagine Media know (for certain) whether the Halo demo will be on OXBM's first game disc or not... we'd love to hear from you. Update: Sam points out that the image of the disc on that same page shows 'Halo' around the edge of the disc, along with the other featured demos. My bad... (Louis Wu 01:35:55 UTC) (permalink)
