Halo Wars: The Floodgates Open
The Halo Wars news is pouring in fast and furiously. IGN has a hands-on preview of the campaign, GameSpot has updated their hands-on article, D+PAD has an interview with Graeme Devine (four pages long, lots of info). We'd updated our earlier screenshots post - but if you missed the update, swing by and read it now! (Louis Wu 22:41:13 UTC) (permalink)
SPNKr'd
Still not taking full advantage of the tags on B.net's user-generated content? urk gives you another example of why they're cool. Today's pics are SPNKR-related. (Louis Wu 19:24:48 UTC) (permalink)
Hard Justice: Episode 5
DigitalPh33r's story of Esoteria and its police force continues with Bernard's driving test, and the governor's unhappiness with a cop that asks questions. I'm liking the series more than I used to! Thanks to urk for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 18:29:23 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo Wars Art Assets
A new batch of Halo Wars screenshots and a few cutscene stills were released this morning - we've posted them here, because it's a good bet that the full-sized images (5120x2880 for the screenshots, 1920x1280 for the stills) won't make it to the web on most sites - and almost EVERY other site will slap a watermark on each image. Enjoy the full-sized, watermark-free versions! Update: Kotaku got a LOT more pictures than we had access to (though I put up another 5 shots on our page); Kotaku's are not watermarked, but they're not big, either. However... some of them ARE really cool. (There's an interesting article that goes with them - story material, background on gameplay, more. Worth a read. Thanks, gunluva.)

Halo Wars info at VideoGamer
VideoGamer.com has posted a series of Halo Wars news bits this morning - there's one that has quotes from Ensemble's Graeme Devine stating that Halo Wars will never show up on a PC, another that discusses the lack of a Covenant option in the Campaign (it came down to time), and yet another that gives you a hands-on preview of the game. Spread 'em out, more pageviews!

Snipers are Wussies HMV
AnTi PRO let us know that another Bryan Simon song, 'Snipers are Wussies', has been turned into a Halo music video - great song, great clips! (Louis Wu 16:08:50 UTC) (permalink)
Grifball FTW
Bryan Simon sent word this morning that, inspired by this weekend's Grifball list, he's written a new song, "Grifball FTW". You can watch it on YouTube, or you can download the MP3 from us. Your call!

Halo bloggers make my life easier
A couple of interesting bits today at Hawty McBloggy's - she ran across a legitimate Killionaire in ranked matchmaking (it's SWAT, but it's still pretty amazing - how many of these do YOU have?)... and a guest writer, Halcylon, wrote up his experience at Video Games Live in Chicago (the Halo portion continues to impress). Go read! (Louis Wu 16:07:05 UTC) (permalink)

NeoGAF's EazyB has recreated Valhalla using Far Cry 2's Level Editor - you can check out a pretty long movie showing the features on YouTube. Nice work!

Marathon Man Ep7 Pt2 Sneak Peek
sniper2477 stopped in yesterday with word of a new Marathon Man episode teaser. It's a fun little street race romp - dialogue could use some work, but the camera angles are great.
