Finalist Spotlight
Wondering about the 16 folks who made the finals of the Halo National Tournament? Bungie has put up a story about them at the Tru7h and Reconciliation site. Give it a look! (The finals this weekend will be broadcast later on G4tv - if anyone knows when, please be sure to let us know! It's not a channel offered here, but maybe we can get the word out to someone who does get it...) (Louis Wu 21:39:56 UTC) (permalink)
European Xbox Price Drop
Seems the Xbox has dropped in price AGAIN in Europe - this time to €250/£160. Timing of the announcement was within an hour of Sony's announcement that the PS2 would drop, as well (to the same price point). A decent time to pick up a console in Europe! (Thanks to Manitou for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 21:29:40 UTC) (permalink)
I'm drowning...
Fan Fiction flood:
- Rise To Honor, part 21, by Shadow
- Cry for a Hero, part 8, by el_halo_diablo
- The Beginning of the End, Part 2, by Wonga
- Shadows of Archon II, part 6, by Wado
- Ascendant Part IX, by Archangel's Blade
- Unexpected Surprises, by JediKnight114
- The Discovery, part 9, by strategyfreak
If 'The Beginning of the End' seems unfamiliar, part 1 (which has since been renamed) was originally posted as 'Untitled', by ruppel. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 21:22:25 UTC) (permalink)
Changeable cutscenes?
Warbow has put together a table showing which cutscenes in Halo are alterable by the player, and which are not. If you have information that supplements (or contradicts) this, join in the thread! (Louis Wu 19:49:15 UTC) (permalink)
Absurd number of reviews...
Whew! Another 31 reviews added to our Reviews database - total is up to 177, and the average rating is 94.6%. There are no print magazine review scores included - just online sources. We received a recent submission which doesn't really qualify as a 'review', since it's not from a gaming website - but there's a lot of information, so you can check out Barry the SuperScot's Halo review. For the reviews from known gaming sites, check our Reviews database. (Time to get a search box in there, methinks...) (Louis Wu 19:45:29 UTC) (permalink)
What - another one?
Guh. On the heels of yesterday's announcement of the Forerunner's network opening, we've received mail from Jack Smith that he's trying to build a 'coming soon bungie fan network' - and needs maintainers for the following subsections: Oni, Myth, Marathon, PiD, Minotaur, and Abuse. (He's got Halo covered, it seems.) This is an all-volunteer effort, of course - no pay - but applicants should contact him at Clearoffjack@aol.com. Is this the newest trend?

Linkage
wolfboy points out that we haven't added the Halo National site to our Links page. (We mentioned it in the news on May 20.) Oversight rectified! (Site's looking good!) (Louis Wu 03:34:32 UTC) (permalink)
