Logos, Updated art
Eep - these came in a couple of days ago, but they were attached to a message about something else, and I missed them. StarWarsFanMan has sent in a pair of enhanced Halo logos - you'll find 'em in our Logos section. (He also sent in a 'clearer' version of the Forerunner Concept sketch he submitted last week.)

Another Halo Mini-Game
A little while ago, we posted a small Halo game created by a fan - now we've got another one for you. This one was created by Drew and Taylor (Lion on our forums), and the object is to simply shoot (click on) the grunts and elites floating around the screen. Grunts are 2 points, Elites are 5. Hit a Master Chief, though, you lose 5. PC-only, and 733k zipped. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 15:44:13 UTC) (permalink)
CUR reviews Halo
We received word that Clan Underworld Revolution has reviewed Halo. The review itself is ambiguous (there's a lot wrong, in the reviewer's eyes, it seems), but the summary suggests differently. (They gave it a 9.5/10, and called it 'the best console game I have ever played'.) We've added it to our Reviews database. (Louis Wu 15:04:23 UTC) (permalink)
'New' viewpoint at xbox.com
Not clear when this was posted - it was after June 22, which is the date of the LAST xbox.com roundup we did, but it's not listed in their news archives at all - but xbox.com has put up an article entitled 'Halo: Reality Held in Suspense', discussing the way Halo draws you in. It does, you know. (Louis Wu 14:30:13 UTC) (permalink)
Airfare for nuthin'
Yesterday, we mentioned the Halo50K tournament... well, one of the barriers to entry has just been reduced for some lucky team. The website has news of a new contest - create a promotional vid for the competition, and win free plane tickets for your team. Thanks to dolbex for the heads-up! Major Correction: Seems I misunderstood - they weren't talking about free airfare... they were talking about free ADMISSION TICKETS. That's the $100pp charge to get in - so make a cool vid, save $400. My bad... but still a damn good deal! (Louis Wu 13:42:29 UTC) (permalink)
