Selecting the Best
A+E Interactive has posted an article looking at past winners of the Game of the Year title, and how it breaks down across gametype and geographical boundaries. Interesting stuff! (Louis Wu 22:02:43 UTC) (permalink)
Haters Be Hatin'...
WikiCheats (part of GameTrailers) has posted their SUPER MEGA GAME AWARDS 2009... and ODST went home with 'Most Generic Game of the Year'. Sadface... (Thanks, Gtag=Reluctant Chaos) (Louis Wu 21:54:34 UTC) (permalink)
Untz untz untz
Remember those freaky Spartans from yesterday, who participated in the Mummers Parade in Philly a few days ago? Well, it turns out they participated in the Mummers show that night - and won. I missed the transforming motorcycles the first time through... Thanks, PhillySpartan. (Louis Wu 21:39:28 UTC) (permalink)

It's like BioShock, except it's Halo
Hawty McBloggy found a fan who built an entire Halo environment... for his fish. Lucky Fish! Update: DOH! Chris101b reminded us that we posted pictures of this aquarium five months ago. WHERE'S MY STEEL TRAP? (Louis Wu 13:38:47 UTC) (permalink)
Fighting Fire

Division Zero - First Trailer
Zee-V70 stopped in to announce a trailer for 'Division Zero', a machinima he's building with tie-ins to the Reclaimerverse (that's the universe created by TTL Demag0gue and his "Reclaimer" comic). Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:37:37 UTC) (permalink)
When Good Isn't Good Enough
Minime637 pointed out an article over at IGN - a hardcore Halo fan discusses why, in his opinion, Halo 3: ODST doesn't deserve the 'Game of the Year' title.

Games make you more powerful
hnc pointed out an academic article that looks at how our processing speed increases as we play video games (Halo gets a direct mention).

Give it a read, and see how you get better with each overkill!
