Screenshot Contest - Winners Posted
Wow. Voting took a bit of work - but we've whittled down the 127 entries to the Seven on the Seven(teen)th contest to our 7 top choices... you can find the images on the Results page. Congrats to the winners - and to EVERYONE who submitted; almost 50 images got votes from at least one of our dozen judges. (Louis Wu 18:31:03 UTC) (permalink)
Making the game they want to make
Gametap has a Q&A with Graeme Devine, lead designer of Halo Wars, with some great info and a few brand-new screenshots. Give it a read! Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 13:38:53 UTC) (permalink)
Paper Pelican
DarkSim found a link to a German page with pictures of a paper pelican - along with a download link containing a 10-page PDF you can print to make your own. Very, very cool! (My German is nonexistent, so I'm not sure how I'd ask permission to link to this, or mirror it... but if we do any damage to that website, I'll put up a local copy.

TeamXbox has posted thier Game of the Year Awards for 2007 - and Halo takes the Best Multiplayer Game of the Year.

SirTopEmHat stopped by yesterday to announce The Dead Serious Tage 2 Trailer - production values are quite high, and this one looks like it's gonna be great! Check out the trailer. (It's not a typical montage.) (Louis Wu 13:16:53 UTC) (permalink)

Year's biggest bummers
Wired's Game|Life put up their Ten Biggest Disappointments Of 2007, and Halo 3 pulled down two of 'em - the cheesy packaging that caused a bunch of Limited Edition buyers to unwrap scratched discs, and the huge sales of Halo 3 (because of what that says about the REST of the industry). Interesting. Go read the whole list. (Louis Wu 13:12:52 UTC) (permalink)
Frankie in a Suit
Gamescore Blog has a video interview that Chris Paladino did with Frankie during the Spike TV awards show - they talk about the awards, about the Heroic Maps (which at that point hadn't been released yet), about Recon armor. Go watch! (Louis Wu 02:08:33 UTC) (permalink)
Atlantic City - Fun Times on the Beach
The last Bungie Weekly Update of 2007 is now available at Bungie.net (and, of course, also in our Weekly Update Archive - with WAY better html, I might add). Most of it is devoted to explaining the changes to the Halo 3 playlist that went live in the last couple of days, but there are also a few other fun tidbits. Go read!
