GameInformer Replay: Halo: Combat Evolved
The GameInformer crew went back to play the original Halo: Combat Evolved, and commented on it all along the way. Pretty interesting watch! Hitmonchan posted this on NeoGAF (and my heart broke). (Louis Wu 17:44:36 UTC) (permalink)

Jenkins, then and now
NeoGAF's MrBig pointed out a YouTubeDoubler page showing a side-by-side comparison of the beginnings of the Pvt Jenkins cutscene in the first Halo (putting the original up against the Halo Anniversary version). Looking at them side-by-side, I DO see a difference in tension and pacing that I hadn't noticed before!

'Phantom Menace Syndrome'? Ugh.
IGN wonders if Halo can avoid the issues faced by the Star Wars franchise after the story arc built by the original trilogy had ended. (I think the answer is pretty simple - sure, stay away from Gungans and soap-opera scripts.) Thanks to NeoGAF's PsychoRaven for the heads-up.

Dani took a look at the in-game advertising that's appeared recently in Deus Ex, and speculated about how lessons could be learned from the situation to allow advertising in future Halo games. Here's hoping he's wrong.

Can you make it remote-controlled?
Mid7night ordered some adorable Hornet models from Shapeways (we mentioned these back on September 3) - and if you just love 'em, you can get one yourself! (Mid7night doesn't make any money if you order one - you're getting it for the cost of materials, and Shapeways' time.)
