Halo 3: ODST/Halo: Reach - a summary of the day
As almost everyone reading this by now already knows, Bungie had two rather hefty reveals at the Microsoft Press Briefing today - the first was a gameplay demonstration of Halo 3: ODST (followed by a boatload of information released on Bungie.net), the second was a heretofore-unknown game, Halo: Reach (this weekend's title leak doesn't really count). Things worth knowing about Halo 3: ODST:
- Release date is September 22
- lots of versions of the new trailer can be found at Bungie.net
- Lots of new screenshots can be found at Bungie.net (poring over them will reveal all sorts of tidbits about the game - our forum is having fun)
- a handful of QuickTime VR 3D vids (and a hint of more to come) are available at Bungie.net
- Lots of new info about the game (including a new mode, Firefight, an invite to the Halo: Reach Beta for purchasers, an unlockable for pre-orderers, and more) can be picked over
(There's a new forum on Bungie.net devoted to the game, too.) If you missed the Joe Staten-supplied gameplay during the briefing itself, you can watch it at IGN (thanks, BlueNinja). And oh, yeah, there's a new Dashboard theme on Xbox LIVE. Moving along to Halo: Reach:
- You can watch the trailer on Bungie.net (or download it in a lot of flavors)
- It'll be out in 2010
- It's Bungie-driven
- It's got Elites
- I'm SURE there are more tidbits to be gleaned - dive into our forums and see what people have come up with!
News might be light tomorrow - I'm traveling out to E3, and am NOT equipped to report from the show floor - but anything more we discover will be posted in due time. Go enjoy what's out already! (Louis Wu 23:00:03 UTC) (permalink)

Into The Pixel 2009 - coming to E3
According to this press release, Into The Pixel (a juried digital art exhibition involving experts from traditional fine arts as well as the entertainment industry, now in its 6th year) will be showing off its 2009 collection at E3 this week. The specific website isn't live yet, but the general Into The Pixel site has much more information (though nothing yet on the 2009 entries). Why this is appearing on a Halo website: one of the 16 works in this year's collection is 'Landing', a piece of Halo Wars artwork by Ensemble's Corey Butler. Looking forward to seeing it!

Watch her strut.
Hawty McBloggy watched the Top 10 Halo Exerminations vid from 360Cinema... and was inspired to write poetry. Of a sort.

Monday Comic Roundup
Just a couple of comic updates for you today: Bloogyo pointed out that Rat's Nest Episode 16 4 is up (but that you should start at the beginning of Episode 16 or it won't make any sense)... and TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 191 (Introspection) is live, and the Reclaimer is beginning to sound emo. Erm... sorry, I mean you get a deeper look into his troubled mind. (Reclaimer's, not Demag0gue's.) (Louis Wu 13:28:01 UTC) (permalink)
