Halo Wallpaper redux
Fanatic sends us a new image - he lists it as a logo, but it's desktop-sized, really... we've added it to our Wallpaper collection. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:30:06 UTC) (permalink)
XboxAddict talks to Mike Salmon
Mike "my aim is to be interviewed by every Xbox site" Salmon, Editor in Chief of the Official Xbox Magazine, has talked to XboxAddict... and true to form, has played up Halo:
XBA: What is the most anticipated game by OXM staff? Which game do you guys think will be THE console seller?
OXM: Halo and DoA3 are two of the best reasons to buy an Xbox. After playing final reviewable versions, I can say with confidence that Halo and DoA3 simply couldn't be done on any other system. And I'm not just talking about graphics. The whole package is so stunning and the immersion is so incredible that you really get a different feeling than any other console. You have to play'em to believe it.
It's unclear from the context... but I think he means consoles when he says "any other system" - Mike used to run PC Accelerator mag, and probably still plays a PC game or two. Go read the rest! (Louis Wu 12:42:56 UTC) (permalink)
Details about cover art
Eep, nearly missed this. Eric followed up his submission of the Fall of Reach cover with some information about the artwork, posted to our forum. Check it out! (Louis Wu 09:48:14 UTC) (permalink)
Official Fall of Reach Cover
Goodness... every once in a while, we get lucky. Eric Trautmann, Content Developer with Microsoft's Licensing Group, sent along a MUCH nicer version of the cover of the upcoming novel, 'Fall of Reach'. We've added it to our Miscellaneous Art section, because... well, it's art. The text on the back matches the content of Random House's online catalog entry for the book. The front cover describes it as 'The official prequel to the explosive Xbox™ game!' Take a look for yourself! (And check out the gun on the second cyborg from the left...)

FAQ overhauled
Major overhauls to the HBO FAQ, by Mark Levin - many pages have been worked on. Weapons and vehicles updated, and much info on game content has been updated. Check it out! (Thanks, Mark!) (Louis Wu 09:13:09 UTC) (permalink)
More Wallpaper and Misc Art
More uploaded art from the fans - Matt (uh...#5?) sends in a rockin' Covenant for our Miscellaneous Art section, and Joker continues his Marine modeling - this time we get the head and upper torso, both as a separate render, and blended into a nice desktop for our Wallpaper section. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 08:39:36 UTC) (permalink)
Patriotic Wallpaper
In honor of those who fell on September 11, and those who are now fighting, Michael Maddox sends in a patriotic Halo desktop. You'll find it in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 00:49:12 UTC) (permalink)
