Xbox Launch Guide at Core
Core Magazine has put up their Xbox Launch Guide - Halo gets a mention:
A refined and full-featured FPS engine combines with controls almost as useful as the PC standard keyboard and mouse combo to make Halo a likely candidate to be Game of the Launch.
Thanks to R.net for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:54:05 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie goes site crazy
As about 8 million of you noticed, all the new Bungie sites went live last night. (Don't ask me why MS is approving launches after 10 pm local time...) The 7th Column, the new gathering place for local fan clubs, is open and accepting new club applications. Truth and Reconciliation, Bungie's new official Halo site (with exclusive screenshots, concept art, storyboards, and more) woke up some time this morning. And the overall Bungie.net site is live again, as well. (The Myth Vault still needs a bit of tweaking.) Spend a little time looking around... (Louis Wu 12:50:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo pre-review at tJY
Forum regular Vector40 has written a 'pre-review' of Halo for the Junkyard... it's worth a read. He's got a nice way of pointing out some of Halo's strengths:
It's difficult to appreciate fully until you see a car flipped ten feet into the air with a grenade explosion, or a weapon laying on the ground get shot and knocked askew, but the complex, interwoven physics engine allows a level of immersion that's truly rare.
Check it out. (Louis Wu 02:47:38 UTC) (permalink)
