Edge blesses Halo
A few months ago, Edge Magazine gave Halo a 10/10 rating - a score shared by only 3 other games in Edge's history. Yesterday, Edge Awards 2002 went on sale in the UK... and Halo took a whole slew of honors:
Game of the year, Halo :- "Halo works on so many levels and is simply on a different plane to any other title which has emerged in the last year."
Technical achievement of the year, Halo :- "Technically, Halo displays a level of rigour and finesse sadly missing from many modern video games."
Audio achievement of the year, Halo :- "...it cannot fail but give an emotional impact missing from most modern games... It's all enhanced by the realtime Dolby 5.1 surround sound... Plug in, sit back, and be absorbed by a singularly superb aural experience".
Also runner up in Graphical achievement of the year.
Thanks to fAt1, of MPZ Halo, for compiling this information! (Louis Wu 20:55:35 UTC) (permalink)
Oh, the things you can do...
Half-a-dozen new tricks have gone up in the Gameplay Tricks section - some pretty cool stuff there, take a look. (And keep your eyes peeled - the next batch won't be a week away; in fact hopefully it'll be done before the end of the week.) (Louis Wu 19:39:27 UTC) (permalink)
Warthog 2k2 gets another mirror
Xerxes, of Halo Orbit, writes to point out that they've mirrored the Warthog2k2 video from Nico D., posted a few weeks ago. Warthog jumping can be fun! (They're also hosting the latest release of Counter-Strike, so the server might be a bit hard to reach at times...) (Louis Wu 14:05:26 UTC) (permalink)
Yummy mirror goodness
That Weasel has mirrored 2 new movies, in 2 flavors each: The Halo Movie Teaser 3 is up in QT5 and WMP formats, and you'll find a new encoding of the Pillar of Autumn with No Weapons there, as well. (The new WMP8 version there is 4.8 mb.) More mirrors, less waiting! (Louis Wu 09:06:35 UTC) (permalink)
A man's enemy is not a man.
Thanks to John Kronk, who points out a pic of the Halo Championship t-shirts currently being raffled off in Japan. As John says,
I want one just for the Engrish.
Me too. (Louis Wu 08:53:35 UTC) (permalink)

Laughing... out loud. (Louis Wu 08:44:07 UTC) (permalink)
