Xbox Tech Overview at FiringSquad
Wondering about the Xbox hardware, and how it compares to your l33t computer? FiringSquad has just put up their Xbox Technology Overview, a massive guide to the inner workings of the Xbox, comparing it (in great detail) to a PC's hardware... it's pretty technical, but if you were curious about the nuts and bolts, this isn't a bad one to read. Thanks to Dead Glory for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 17:42:57 UTC) (permalink)
Mike Salmon on Halo's quality
Heh - FunXbox interviewed Mike Salmon, Editor-in-Chief of the Official Xbox Magazine, and the last question was pretty amusing:
FunXbox: How much of an ass do you feel like giving Halo a lower predicted review score, after having played it more recently :) ? Mike Salmon: I consistently feel like an ass - I've just come to accept it as being me. As for the Halo "guestimate," we gave it great scores. The Official Xbox Magazine isn't going to give every game a 10 and we're going to use the whole scale. In my opinion if every single game gets an 8 or above then why do you even have a 1-7 on your scale? We'll be fair, but we'll be tough. That being said, the latest build of Halo is absolutely amazing. Ed Fries and his team delivered way beyond our expectations.
(Mike's a pretty nice guy when it comes to interviews - he talked to us way back in April 2000 about Halo and what he'd seen of it on his tour of the Bungie offices. At that time he was EIC of PC Accelerator, a magazine which went under soon after. We don't think we had anything to do with that.) (Louis Wu 01:35:42 UTC) (permalink)
