Halo 3 prepped for a September release?
boesman pointed out an article at IGN that suggests that Microsoft is pushing for a September release for Halo 3. They claim "two independent sources" for this information - which puts a new spin on the comments by Shane Kim last week at GDC. At that point, I opined that Kim's comments suggested that Microsoft was really leaving things up to Bungie, in terms of when they were going to be ready to launch the game. If IGN is correct, however, then Microsoft is, indeed, pressuring Bungie for a specific date (and one that's being dictated not by the needs of Halo 3, but by what other games Microsoft is releasing over the course of the fall). Hmm... Update: Frankie says "chill" on the NeoGAF board - "this other stuff is pure speculation. Halo 3 will ship when it's ready." (Thanks, GhaleonEB.) (Louis Wu 22:37:49 UTC) (permalink)
Ten Questions For Bungie: The Halo 3 Beta
Spec_Ops_Assault noticed an interview with Brian Jarrard at Game Informer, focused on the Halo 3 beta. Some of the information is intriguing - this one's worth a read!

Dethroning the King
Does Gears of War have what it takes to overtake Halo 2 on the competitive gaming circuit? Andy Jones thinks so - I think. (The article contradicts itself a few times as you read, so I'm not 100% sure WHAT he thinks.) Go read it for yourself at Amped eSports. (Louis Wu 18:17:33 UTC) (permalink)
Get into the H3 beta in Germany - for 10 euros
Interesting. If you live in Germany, you can spend €10 to buy the 'Halo 3 Pre-order Pack' - the money will go towards Halo 3, once it's released, but in the meantime, it'll buy you access to the Halo 3 beta program. This is for sale at both Amazon.de and Gamestop.de. You have to be 18 to buy this. Marc, from Halo Universe, who pointed this deal out, notes also that the Amazon page specifies April 2007 as the start of the beta program. Seems like a feasible date... though we'd hasten to remind you that Amazon, and every other retailer out there who've reported dates in the past, is far from perfect at predicting releases.

Dock of the Bay
Jamie98s put together a short little music vid set to Otis Redding's 'Dock of the Bay' - a soldier tires of killing. Interesting interpretation - and, as usual with Jamie's work, cinematography rocks. Only a bit over 16 mb, in either WMP9 format or QuickTime format. Update: Mirrored now at GamingTV.org.

Energy Episode Three
Simply Greg stopped by to announce Energy Episode Three - audio in this episode is VASTLY improved from earlier episodes. A mining expedition brings back more than they expected... (Louis Wu 12:39:38 UTC) (permalink)
Fan-made footage
huetranduong sent along this link to a user-uploaded file on Gametrailers. We have no information beyond what's in the vid itself, but it looks like a lot of work in a 3D editor, to me! (Louis Wu 12:30:02 UTC) (permalink)
Red vs Green
Mintz noticed a Halo-related episide of the Tip of the Sword webcomic - I've played with people like that... (Louis Wu 12:27:14 UTC) (permalink)
