Cinematography and such
Very interesting article about the team working on Halo 3 Cinematics over at Bungie.net - all I can say is 'D.A.M.N.'. Go read. Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 22:47:56 UTC) (permalink)
Anything Goes - Last Chance!
Adam Kovic, over at Machinima.com, pointed out a page containing 40 entries to their Halo 3 Anything Goes contest - voting starts in 2 days, so you still have a tiny bit of time to get an entry in and be eligible to win a free copy of Halo 3! (We first mentioned this contest last month - the deadline has moved up since then.) (Louis Wu 20:49:23 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Controllers and Headset
Looks like some new Halo 3-branded schwag has appeared - Mariachi was first on our forum with a link to the wireless headset, and MasterChief2829 pointed out a page over at TeamXbox that contains shots of the headset and two new controllers. Reaction seems to be mixed - some love 'em, some hate 'em. (Louis Wu 20:45:33 UTC) (permalink)
Games Toaster reviews H3 Beta
Games Toaster wrote up a preview of the Halo 3 Beta - they think it bodes well for the final game. Update: bah. Looks like this was lifted, wholesale, from an older Gamespot preview. Plagiarism sucks. Thanks, Uukla the Mok. Update 2, 15 June 2007: Cian Ginty, the editor of Games Toaster, stopped by to point out an apology letter about this. The article's offline. I applaud the editorial staff of Games Toaster for handling the situation in this manner. (Louis Wu 19:45:20 UTC) (permalink)
TTLIBIB
It's early... but XerxdeeJ has returned to the Tied the Leader Tuesday Updates with a vengeance. There's an open letter to Bungie in thanks for the Halo 3 Beta... and a call to arms, Halo 2 arms to be specific. Get fired up! (Louis Wu 06:15:14 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Beta T-Shirt giveaway
Grunts"R"Us is firing up a new contest - put together your favorite moment from the Halo 3 Beta, and you could win a shot at one of three Beta T-Shirts (the green ones you had to be at the Halo 3 Press Events to get). Nice! Thanks, oriol zertuche. (Louis Wu 06:14:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halouvre Update
prometheus was out of the country this spring, so the Halouvre didn't get a lot of updates - but he's back now, and there are a number of new and updated galleries. Check out RVideo's stuff, along with new pieces from Argodaemon, TGO Seraph, Fires7orm, and
Dojorkan. Be gentle - every time we mention him, the site goes down!

Another Kind of Saved Film
Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #47 was online. Is anything waiting for YOU now that the Halo 3 Beta is over?

The Cure
Marcelo Vega, of Brazil's www.xboxtoday.com.br, sent us this picture, obtained by a friend of his, a doctor. Haloperidol is an antipsychotic, and is marketed as Haldol (among other names) here in the US - but in Brazil, it reminds gamers of something else.

Only diehards need apply
GamePro has posted their review of Halo 2 Vista. Sounds like they would have given it a higher score it it had come out for XP.

Best of Both Worlds v2 Part 1
Z dropped us a line about another dualtage - Gears of War and Halo 3, from inX 2Bit. Enormous file (172 mb for 6 minutes) - but the quality's quite nice. Good footage, too.
