Ross Goes Hunting for News
Ross Mills found a couple of interesting articles - he mentioned one in which a Eurogamer reviewer commented in his blog about how unpleasant the actual review process for Halo 3 was, and another, over at GamesIndustry.biz, which looks at the way Halo 3 bridges the hardcore gamer community with 'the mainstream'. Give 'em a read!

Critics on criticism
Over at Variety.com, there's an article by a videogame critic which worries about how to write videogame reviews for a mainstream audience. He makes some interesting points, though a lot of it comes off as rationalization, to me. Give it a read. (Louis Wu 12:04:31 UTC) (permalink)

Double Team on Construct, a vid
Z pointed out a Gameplay vid by ThaggleS - Double Team on Construct. I'm having trouble understanding the allure of films like this now - unless it's for people without Halo 3 (or without Live), because an uploaded Saved Film would show you exactly the same gameplay - and more - for a much smaller download. However, if you don't have Live, or Halo 3, swing by. (Louis Wu 12:00:12 UTC) (permalink)

Return of the black hole of free time.

Calliope got word that musicnotes.com is marketing the official sheet music for Halo (they've got the Halo theme and the Halo theme (Mjolnir Mix).
