Now THERE'S a deal.
Wow. Are you a UK resident who hasn't been able to justify the price of an Xbox yet? Here's a deal you just can't turn down... £194.99 buys you
- Xbox Console (with one controller)
- Halo
- Splinter Cell
- Jet Set Radio Future
- Sega GT 2002
(You can buy the same package, without Halo or Splinter Cell, for £35 less... but why would you want to?) Visit Gameplay's web store for all the details. (This package will be available next Friday.) Thanks to Nijhazer for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:20:59 UTC) (permalink)

Riding the Halo
Eric Redmond turned in a very nice piece of Halo artwork; it would probably make a great desktop, if not for the fact that it's less than 400x300 pixels. Nonetheless, it's worth looking at; you'll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (There are game spoilers in this image.) (Louis Wu 15:51:43 UTC) (permalink)
Engendering Paranoia
Ever wonder how Bungie works out their multiplayer map designs? Are they totally haphazard, or is there actually thought behind the various features? Get the lowdown on three different maps at Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site, in the latest story written up by Mordia, entitled 'Designing for Carnage'. Very, very cool.
