Movies Db has more entries
Thanks once again to the kindness and hard work of a reader (thanks, Uriel!), the Movies database is nearly up-to-date. It's accurate to just before E3, actually. (The next batch is gonna be a doozy.) 2 months, 50 movies... the database has almost 500 entries in it. That's a lot of footage! (Louis Wu 16:55:34 UTC) (permalink)

Polls, Polls, Everywhere
Poll news: First up, the poll we mentioned yesterday at Slashdot. Another 21,000 votes have been cast since we mentioned it, and the percentages haven't changed all that much; Doom III and Half-Life 2 are still dominating with 25% each, and Halo 2 is still in third place (now with 13% - about half as many votes as the two biggies). Meanwhile, over at Gamespot (thanks, Jay), there's a poll asking which game should take home the most prizes at the Game Critics Awards in a couple of weeks - and Halo 2 is out in front with 43% of the almost 2500 votes. Interesting to see the differences in audience! (Louis Wu 11:09:39 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 2 LE clarification in H2 FAQ
Ciarán points out that another change in Bungie.net's Halo 2 FAQ is a line added to the bottom of the Limited Edition question:
This offer will be subject to availability in your country, but is not limited to the US.
There was evidence that this product would be available outside the US, but it's nice to have an official word on that. (Louis Wu 00:08:04 UTC) (permalink)
