Halo: Combat Evolved comes online
A new Halo site has come on the scene - Halo: Combat Evolved. Some of the info is a bit shaky (the release date for the Xbox is listed as November 8, the dropship in the 'Vehicles' section is actually an escape pod from the Pillar of Autumn, and so on), but in general, it's easy to read. Check it out. (Louis Wu 19:44:49 UTC) (permalink)
Cortana site looking for help
This was originally posted on our forum, but response was less than satisfying, apparently. Dan Byrne is looking for volunteers to help with a new Halo site he's working on, http://www.cortana.co.uk/. If you're interested, drop him a line, or post a response to his forum thread!

More fan fiction comes in
When Scott Edwin woke up again he blinked, remembered, and looked down. Or rather, he tried to look down, but couldn't, because he was lying on his back.
Find out what happened to poor Scott in Chapter 1 of Aragorn918's ongoing 'The Sceptre', found in our Fan Fiction section. Don't forget to leave him feedback! (Louis Wu 15:02:05 UTC) (permalink)
Gamers.com reviews Halo
Gotta stop that pokin'... This time it turned up a Halo review at Gamers.com. It's a nicely written rave:
Featuring as many shocking and exciting plot twists as Metal Gear Solid 2, Halo sheds the ultra-stealth focus of that title and replaces it with white-knuckle intensity Goldeneye wishes it had.
They don't list an editorial number rating... but they combined the 34 user-submitted values (averaging 9.1/10) with 6 magazine/site reviews (averaging 9.6/10) to give it an overall 9.3/10 consensus score. We've added it to our Reviews page, and added the three new screens to our Screenshots database. Update: On this page, they give it a 10 in-house. Reviews page updated.

More new screens - from Halomedia
While poking around in German sites I can't read, I discovered a number of screenshots I'd never seen before at Halomedia - they're not attributed to anyone, but they're very high quality - absolutely worth a look. We've added them to our Screenshots database. (Don't miss the obligatory Matrix shot...) Update: Uriel writes to say that the five new screens came from AreaXbox.de - you can see them here.

New screens from Gamestar.de
A few days ago, the German site GameStar put up a small article covering 4 launch titles for the Xbox. Halo gets the thumbs up (not really a suprise), but the real reason for this mention was a pair of screens they put up - well, one, in particular. We've added both to our Screenshots database. Might be worth a look. (Louis Wu 02:19:25 UTC) (permalink)
