Kudos to Harry Al-Shakarchi for his translations of the text accompanying the GXP pictures. He sent in both the first Halo blurb (two days ago):
"Take 2 sent us these 2 brand new pictures of Bungie's Halo. Please note that these pics are not from a pre-rendered intro sequence, but from a running game."
and the second one, put up last night:
"Bungie's Halo will probably be one of the Games that gets the most attention in the coming year, and we have two more exclusive pictures for you. The picture quality may not be very good, but the content offer you far more anyway: The first, showing water, tells us that it has been done damn well. The other picture shows us a Marine with a flamethrower."

Well, we've been sitting on this for two weeks, waiting to hear from the folks at Incite... but since this seems to be the same article as the German PC Games article posted yesterday, we've decided to show it to you. It's two pages: Page 1 and Page 2. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)

Thanks once again to Harry Al-Shakarchi for his quick translation skills. He's sent in a translation of the German PC Games article. (We're posting it as submitted.) This is the same article as the one published in Incite Gaming magazine last week... we're still waiting for permission to post that one. (Louis Wu 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)
"It might NOT be a Kurki knife!" says Nathan Bitner in an explanatory(?) note to the Marathon's Story page. No confirmation on the height of the Covenant either. The Master of Obfuscation stikes again! (Wirehead 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)
HBO exclusive! Kudos to Christoph Schmidt for scanning in a Halo preview from the German PC Games (12/99) magazine. Check out Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, and Page 4. For folks who don't have huge monitors, these versions might be more readable: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4. Now all we need is a translation. ;) (Wirehead 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)
Marty O'Donnell reports on our forums that David Joost has moved the Halo music to a new category at mp3.com. See what you can do about raising its position in the game soundtrack download list! (Note: We first reported this on October 19... but it never hurts to remind people.) Thanks, Marty. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)
