Xbox Unleashed impressions at TXB
TeamXbox has put up the first part of their Xbox Unleashed impressions - words from the event floor in New York where Xbox fanatics try to stay alive for 48 hours of non-stop gaming. Crashing eggs and monster lines... it's a fun read. Sol also managed to throw in his Halo impressions... he liked it:
Halo, single-handedly, helped the Xbox, as a gaming platform, meet my extremely high, two-year, expectations of it.
Go read the rest! (Thanks to TomeOne for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 21:43:12 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo Review at Gamestar.de
Uriel points out a new review at Gamestar.de - it's part of their print review, and it contains a couple of new screens. Uriel promises a translation soon, too. :) (Louis Wu 18:39:31 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Impressions pour in
They're pouring in... DarkSkies ran his wife over last night, and dropped in to tell us about it. (He's also, after playing for a bit, decided to hold off on buying an Xbox - he'll rent one, then buy the PC version.) Read his post for details! (Louis Wu 16:11:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo - not for everyone
Another fan impression post - Caerdwyn didn't seem to like it at all. His final summary suggested it was 'a solid title'... but each point made it clear he wasn't impressed. (Louis Wu 15:52:28 UTC) (permalink)
Juicy Halo Goodness, straight from the fans
Sam has taken our request for gameplay feedback to heart, and posted a pretty in-depth look at Kiosk Xbox (no, it's not the same as Living Room Xbox - read his rundown to see some of the reasons why). Read the rest of the thread, as well - lots of good followup info. (Louis Wu 15:26:10 UTC) (permalink)
More fan details on Halo
Final Solution has put up Day 2 of his Halo coverage - this includes three things you SHOULDN'T do while playing Halo. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:22:30 UTC) (permalink)
French Halo preview at Halo's Universe
Halo's Universe (in France) has put up a Halo preview (they say it's the first) - my French isn't good enough to translate this, but for French speakers, this might be a good place to get info! (Louis Wu 15:18:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halo DVD, by request
In response to a request to see what the Halo DVD actually looks like, Matt Soell popped one in front of the Bungie Webcam. Is that cool community relations, or what? (Louis Wu 01:50:46 UTC) (permalink)
Multiplayer Impressions at GS
To go with the new movies, GameSpot has put up a Multiplayer Impressions article - a description of the 13 maps (similar to the description IGN put up a couple of days ago) and some tips and comments. They were playing a 'near-final' build... and they commented on the framerate blips; I'm wondering if we're going to continue hearing about these with the gold version. In any case, it's an information-dense read, and comes complete with 25 screenshots. Check it out. (Louis Wu 01:43:45 UTC) (permalink)
Halo multiplayer clips at Gamespot
Gamespot has put up 6 new Halo clips - they're short views of some multiplayer action. Get 'em if you want... Some pretty cool stuff in there. (Thanks to Razorback, on our forum, and Onibushi via email, for the first heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:13:45 UTC) (permalink)
