Halo - Just like you Imagined
Vegechan created a Halo tribute trailer using music from 300 and footage from many sources, including Halo game trailers, cutscenes, and more. Has a nicely epic feel to it. (Louis Wu 23:41:33 UTC) (permalink)
Star Wars: A New Halo
The Escapist's latest episode of Kung Fu Grip is entitled 'Star Wars: A New Halo', and looks at how the Republic might have fared had the Stormtroopers been replaced with Spartans. Stop-motion theater at its finest! Thanks, Speedhuntr. (Louis Wu 23:37:40 UTC) (permalink)
VGL Album debuts at #10 on Billboard Charts
Video Games Live just posted a press release - their album debuted at #10 on the Billboard Charts. Wow! Congrats to Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, and the entire VGL team! If you buy a copy, you'll hear the Slovak Symphony Orchestra playing the Halo Suite, and a bunch of other great music. Update: Jim wrote to us with a clarification. The album debuted at #10 on the Classical Crossover chart - on the general Billboard Top 200, they're a no-show. Gotta work on that Press Release wording, I think...

Team Melee Weekend Live
A few hours ago, the latest Double XP weekend went live - this week, it's Team Melee. What's Team Melee? It's a playlist loaded with Gravity Hammers and Swords! Three teams of three meet to beat the crap out of each other. AdjustantReflex gave us the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:51:37 UTC) (permalink)
Damian Isla talks about Halo Wars, AI Programming
According to an article in Eurogamer, Bungie is "very excited" about Halo Wars - they talked to Damian Isla, AI Programming Lead for Halo 2 and Halo 3. Positive news, for fans worried that Ensemble might be taking liberties! Thanks, gunluva. While you're at Eurogamer, check out this little piece as well - Isla discusses the problems AI programmers face in making the next great video game. (Louis Wu 21:49:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Chopper - not what you think
Veegie pointed out a Halo Chopper - not the Brute one - being modeled over at Threedy Forums by rubenvoorhees. Looks pretty cool! (Louis Wu 10:19:07 UTC) (permalink)
Hail to the Chief
Spartanx5 noticed an article on IGN that comes up with their Top 10 reasons Halo 3 is Back on Top (of the Xbox LIVE leaderboards). Some are silly, some are solid. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 10:14:30 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Pen from ComicCon
Praxis Solomen noticed an auction on eBay for a pen, collected during the 2008 San Diego ComicCon, which is labeled "The Battle Begins Fall 2008" and lights up. The title is 'Halo Movie Pen' - there's no information about where this name came from. (Seems more likely that we're talking about something like the Peter Jackson project than the Halo movie, but again, there's no other information included.) Auction ends in just under a week. Update: Urocyon solved the mystery - the pens are promoting the Halo board game coming in September. No movie news after all! Update 2: w00t! MsValentine sent along more card scans - Arbiter | Brute | MC | Group. (The Group shot is the same as the image Urocyon sent us.) Thanks, MsV! (Louis Wu 10:12:23 UTC) (permalink)
