New Halo 3 Screenshots
The Final Fight was poking around the Indian Halo 3 site (it may or may not be the official Microsoft site, but it seems to be), and they found four spankin' new Halo 3 screenshots. Purty! (You gotta check out the Characters page, as well - I've seen insane-looking Cortanas before, but never quite like this.) Thanks, MasterChief2829. Update: Simpsons Rule points out that the Cortana pic is a fan-generated render snagged from Halomods' render gallery. (Louis Wu 20:42:35 UTC) (permalink)
[Company] Rulez!
Zarathustra Studios and Krad Productions collaborated to create '[Company] Rulez!', a humorous look at the Game Content Usage Rules published by Microsoft last month. Before they could release it, though, Microsoft made it clear that they were planning on revising the rules, and that things weren't as gloomy as they first appeared. The movie's still pretty funny, though, and can be seen in about 600 different formats (well, maybe not QUITE that many) linked off this page. Go read - it's also got a nice collection of links to other articles about these rules. Thanks, Evan Ryan. (Louis Wu 19:30:40 UTC) (permalink)
Beyond Halo
Banshee_105 was the first to mention the latest 1Up Halo content - it's an article entitled 'Beyond Halo: The Apocrypha of Master Chief', and it looks at the non-game Halo universe. Go read! (Louis Wu 19:12:38 UTC) (permalink)
Pimp Your 360
Hawty McBloggy found a replacement case for your Xbox 360 that brings to mind the original Xbox Special Edition case - and in her case, it's more visually appealing than the OFFICIAL Xbox 360 Special Edition. Check it out to see if you agree - it's currently under $45, so if you'd rather go back to the crystal green look, it's WAY cheaper than a new Special Edition. (Louis Wu 18:52:24 UTC) (permalink)

Carbine vs BR - another look
Gravemind wrote up a wordy rant about the accuracy of the Carbine as seen in the Halo 3 Beta. (The tone of the piece is "what a shame they didn't fix this" - though how he can know whether they did or not without playing with the final version is beyond me.) Interesting analysis, whether you agree with his findings or not. (Louis Wu 17:00:27 UTC) (permalink)

What can be learned from Halo
We got word from Phil, at Sodaware, that he'd written an article about the gaming design lessons that can be learned from the original Halo. After reading it, I wonder how he'd interpret the changes made between Halo and Halo 2... but even on its own, it's a fine read. (Louis Wu 14:32:27 UTC) (permalink)
