Halo Represents at GTR Awards
Gamertag Radio has presented their 3rd Annual Xbox Community Awards (the audio was made available yesterday), and three stars in the Halo firmament shone brightly. The Halo 3 Beta took the XBL Marketplace Download of the Year award, Tied the Leader took the Team Community of the Year award, and Hawty McBloggy took the Community Member of the Year award. Congrats to all! (Well, the Beta probably doesn't appreciate the feelings, but congrats to the real people on the far end of the other two awards!)

Halo-inspired military patch
Nice - there's a company that makes military patches; one of them (for a detachment of the 15th Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron, based in Udairi, Kuwait) has chosen some Halo imagery to make its point. darthbob found this at Kotaku. (Louis Wu 14:10:59 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Rap
John_117 stopped by to point out a Halo 3 rap he'd put together. You can watch it on YouTube. (Louis Wu 14:05:17 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo Gorgeosity
RVideo continues with his stunning panoramas - today you can find Last Resort and Isolation on our forum. I find the skyboxes of both to be intriguing. (Louis Wu 13:56:03 UTC) (permalink)
Could Halo 3 have been as good as we wanted it to be?
1UP Features Editor Jeremy Parish, has been posting his personal Top 7 games of 2007, and a couple of days ago he listed Halo 3 as Number 6. What makes this news is the insightful way he's chosen to pin down the hurdles Halo 3 faced before it even hit the stands. His discussion of the story presentation, too, might help you to focus your thoughts about how good a job Bungie did (or didn't do) to bring the Halo universe to its fans this time around. There's more good discussion in the comments following his article, and more still in the thread on our forum started by LoneRanger 2.5. (Once again, I'm struck by the absolutist terms a lot of posters use when ranting on the internet... but if you look beyond the hyperbole, there are many decent points made.)
