Is that what I think it is?
Whoa... truth or fiction? We got this pic of a master chief model - it comes from a friend who works with ERTL toys. You make the call. (I hope it's real!) Update: picture has been yanked; too much potential trouble for all involved. Sorry... (Louis Wu 20:55:50 UTC) (permalink)
Jonesin' for Edge info?
A couple of weeks ago, GamesRadar put up some teaser info from the most recent Edge magazine. Today, they put up a more meaty slice - go check it out! (Thanks to Griffon for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 20:51:02 UTC) (permalink)
Wallpaper stuff
At the request of a fan, Warbow has reversed his recently submitted wallpaper so that Mac users don't have to cover the cool artwork with icons. You can find the new version in our Wallpaper section, too. Update: forgot to check the uploads directory - there's one more wallpaper for you, from RAT 9.3, in two sizes. You'll find that, too, in the Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 19:22:28 UTC) (permalink)
Art stuff
Couple of art bits for you today: a sketch of a jackal (embossed after the fact, it would seem) and a pretty cool pic of Jeff Lofland's vision of Mrs. Chief. You'll find both in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 19:17:01 UTC) (permalink)

Christian Spotlight reviews Halo
Da Loaph found a rather unusual Halo review yesterday - it's part of a site called Christian Spotlight, and focuses on how games fit into the Christian viewpoint. Halo got high marks for gameplay, but was heavily downgraded for the potentially anti-Christian messages implicit in the use of Christian 'jargon', and for the violence. We've added this review to the Reviews database, but have used only the gameplay rating in the numerical score; the other parameters seemed to rate Halo on its suitability to the audience of the site, rather than on its own merit. (It's a tricky distinction, and one we haven't made before... but there doesn't seem to be any better way to choose an overall rating for the game, based on the information on the site.) We would ask that anyone going to visit to respect the spirit of the site; I'd hate to be responsible for the influx of a bunch of rude visitors. (If you have comments, feel free to add them to the forum thread here.) (Louis Wu 12:32:33 UTC) (permalink)
