Hide, Seek, Snap - Now up to Round 9
Congrats to leafman343, who reproduced the remaining Round 8 screenshot from our Hide, Seek, Snap giveaway - another Johnson code, out the door! Swing by the contest page for a pair of Round 9 images - these two come from ODST, rather than Halo 3! Get to work! (Louis Wu 15:55:49 UTC) (permalink)
MitHoM: Part 3 of 4 Tomorrow (plus Grifball Fun!)
Halo Waypoint will be presenting 'Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian, Episode 3' beginning tomorrow - the banner below leads to a teaser pic. If you've got Xbox LIVE Gold, don't miss this! If you're intrigued by Waypoint, you should take the opportunity this weekend to partake in the Double XP Weekend Playlist. The Waypoint team will be playing all weekend (but specifically on Sunday from 1-5pm PST); meetups will be random, but the best footage from the games they play will be included in a highlight reel showcased on Waypoint at some point. Good stuff! (There's no press release about this - yet - on the Waypoint website, but we'll update this newspost if one appears.) 
Update: the offical press release is up now. (Louis Wu 14:47:24 UTC) (permalink)

Game Informer Reach Podcast
Game Informer has posted a Special Edition Podcast, focused on Halo: Reach. It claims to feature 'exclusive music from the Halo: Reach soundtrack', though this seems to be simply the Lone Wolf score from the VGA trailer. The podcast has impressions from GI writers that saw the game in December, along with questions from fans (answered by those writers). One hour long. Thanks to big ander, over at NeoGAF, for the heads-up.

Halo Wars - now On Demand
Halo Wars has become the most recent entry into the 'Games on Demand' collection - you can download it straight to your Xbox via LIVE, if you choose. It's not the CHEAPEST way to get it (in the US, the price is $29.99, a few bucks more than Amazon's price) - but it's certainly convenient! (Louis Wu 14:42:27 UTC) (permalink)
New Reach figures coming from McFarlane
mr.sci-fi noticed (via Halo Waypoint's Twitter feed) that Todd McFarlane is working on Reach action figures, to be released at launch. Not a HUGE surprise, I guess - but cool to know! (Louis Wu 14:41:50 UTC) (permalink)
