Gawjus.
If you're interested in super-high resolution versions of those cool new screenshots, without any watermarks... swing by Bungie.net. Wowza. (Louis Wu 20:58:40 UTC)

Edge Rates 'em All
Edge has posted its World Best Videogames list, according to Next Generation - and the results might surprise you. 3 of the top 4 are games that Edge gave 10/10 reviews to. 5 and 6 - Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - were released before Edge started as a magazine, and so were not reviewed by them. Game 7 is Halo - another 10/10 review. Game 2 is a surprise; Resident Evil 4 came out in 2005, and Edge gave it a 9/10 at the time - so how did it make it to #2 on the list? And what happened to Gran Tourismo, the 5th 10/10 game? I suppose you'll have to grab the 260-page collector's book entitled 'Edge Presents: The 100 Best Videogames', on sale tomorrow, to find out. Thanks, nash--housewares. (Louis Wu 16:46:01 UTC)

Halo 3: Under 40 bucks
I've never heard of these guys - but $40 for Halo 3 is as cheap as I've seen. This showed up at FatWallet. (Louis Wu 12:30:45 UTC)

Multiplayer Content Embargo is Over
mike g pointed out that Gamepro has put a series of pictures of the Brute Chopper (and some shots of the map Shrine) up online, as their magazine article said would happen starting today. Clearly, the embargo on this content is over, because IGN has posted their own set of new shots - and it looks to be pretty much everything Microsoft might have given out this round. (Thanks, DHalo.) There's also a writeup, with a ton of information about Epitaph and Last Resort (two maps included in the Microsoft-only beta that took place before the public beta), and an interview with Jaime Griesemer and Tyson Green - thanks, Pedro the Penguin. Go look! (Louis Wu 11:53:50 UTC)

HBO Zune Giveaway: Results
Took us a little while to reach everyone, and get all our ducks in a row... but the results for the HBO Zune Giveaway are now online! On top of the 4 Zunes we promised when this whole thing started out, we've convinced Bungie to provide some extra prizes - second place in all four categories will receive an awesome metal Carnage Zone street sign, and we've provided a special Judges' Choice award for one entry that we felt had not been properly recognized by the public. (Yes, we can do that. We run this place.) Check out all the details, and download high-resolution versions of the winning movies, on the Contest Results page. (Louis Wu 12:01:07 UTC)

Part One.
Skavenger, unhappy that he's been out of the Halo news for so long, has whipped up a really cool piece of machinima. Oh, wait, that's right... he's only really capable of mediocre films. Unwilling to foist that sort of work on you, he's fallen back on his old favorite - a puzzler. This one starts as a word search - but that ain't how it ends... go see what you can do with it. C'mon, Skav needs the attention. (Thanks to Morningstar for posting it - Skav's smart enough to know that when he gets near the forum, things start breaking.) (Louis Wu 13:02:01 UTC)

H2V WowLoader Source Code
TheGhost wrote to let us know that the author of the WowLoader program we mentioned yesterday has released the source code for his work, in the hopes that someone can pick up where he left off. The post he made on h2vista.net explains what's missing or needs work - and the loader, as well as the source code, can be downloaded from there without having to jump through the Rapidshare hoops. Programmers... start your engines! (Louis Wu 12:28:44 UTC)

Messin' with the Fans
A few days ago, we mentioned an article at the Hushed Casket which detailed the situation with a college student swept up involuntarily in the Iris ARG - rapture just gave us the heads-up about a YouTubed clip from G4's Attack of the Show in which they interviewed the guy live. If you start hearing rumors that Halo 3 is coming out for the Playstation 3... you can totally blame Kevin Pereira. (Louis Wu 23:13:33 UTC)

H3 Brute Captain, Modelled
ethereal has been working on modeling the Halo 3 Brutes, as shown in the Brute ViDoc a few months ago. Awesome start! (Louis Wu 15:07:49 UTC)

ARG News
Nathan Gibson pointed out Maximum Fear, a summary of the Alternate Reality Game started with Adjutant Reflex's appearance a bit over a week ago. It's concise and clear, and pulls its data for the most part from the Bungie.net group CompoundIntelligence (founded when the ARG went live). If you find args.bungie.org daunting to jump into with a crib sheet, this is a great place to start. (Latest news, for those who missed it - Adjutant Reflex was destroyed last night by an entity whose identity is currently unknown, and the countdown clock has finished its run - for some, that means it's down to zero, for others it's frozen at 001 012 034 053. Your input is welcome - drop by and put in your two cents!) (Louis Wu 12:04:43 UTC)

Zune Pictures Online
Kostas Tzounopoulos has put the preloaded pictures you can find on a Halo 3 Zune online on his website, Zune-Online.com; these are extracted directly from the Zune, so the quality is as high as is available. There is some spectacular artwork in here. (Gizmodo showed all of this content a few weeks ago - but they put up photographs of the Zune's screen - this did NOT do the artwork justice.)

Master Replicas Weapons - coming soon
Interesting - X1Zero noticed a pair of scaled weapon replicas up for preorder right now at GameStop - a BR55 Battle Rifle, and a Covenant Carbine, both being attributed to Master Replicas, and both due in early September. (No pictures yet.) Back in February, we mentioned a press release stating that Master Replicas was getting into the game - but it wasn't known what they'd be making. I guess we know the start of the line... Update: Sh0rtBusKid found pics at the UK site Game Lifestyle - nice! (Louis Wu 23:48:39 UTC)

Watching... and waiting
The new ARG that kicked off a few days ago is exploding; last night saw the uncoverings of an absurd amount of new information. There's a summary of the earlier parts of the timeline at args.bungie.org, written by Sir Topham Hat - it's a bit behind right now, but it's a good start. (It would seem that all of this began with a link found in a newspaper that wasn't supposed to be released before the weekend - we might be ahead of the game here.) Poke around args.bungie.org to learn about a comic on Halo3.com, the base-7 countdown clock, a mysterious MySpace page, and the identity of the company behind this game. And more. (I'd really like to suggest that newcomers READ a bit before they start posting; you'll find that an awful lot of what you want to talk about has already been talked about. Bring yourself up to speed FIRST, and you'll be contributing to the signal, rather than the noise.) (Louis Wu 11:31:19 UTC)

History Circling Back Upon Us.
The big news this morning is an email that went out to folks who've signed up for Xbox Flash mail. Compton started a thread on our forum about this (but you're probably better off getting a discussion going at the ARG forum, since this is almost certainly related). For folks who didn't get a copy, you can see it online here (in English or French - thanks, Zulag). As many, many people have noted, this feels like the early Cortana letters... nice to get back to roots! (Louis Wu 14:32:14 UTC)

Try, try again
Screen Play, a column in The Age (a Melbourne, Australia newspaper), has a post up today that suggests that the Halo 3 Beta had nothing whatsoever to do with beta testing, and everything to do with hype-building. (The main argument is that since you haven't been contacted by Bungie for feedback now that the beta is complete, they clearly didn't WANT your feedback... so how could this be a 'beta'?) It sort of ignores everything Bungie's ever said about the beta's purpose - that it was specifically set up to test their backend stuff, the stats reporting, the tools for measuring validity of spawn points, etc.) Everyone's entitled to their opinion, I suppose. Thanks, Brett Cunningham. (Louis Wu 15:14:34 UTC)

Halo Zune Giveaway - Start Voting!
Voting is now open for the first category of the Halo Zune Giveaway - swing by and grab the 7 finalists for the Original Song category, and then pick your favorite! Update: Hold tight - turns out one of our finalists had to be disqualified (it had been released 3 years ago, and has been out on the web ever since); we're currently working on its replacement, and will be ready to go soon. Sorry about this! Update 2: We've settled on a new finalist - voting is open again. Sorry for the delay! (Louis Wu 12:07:13 UTC)

Anything Goes - Last Chance!
Adam Kovic, over at Machinima.com, pointed out a page containing 40 entries to their Halo 3 Anything Goes contest - voting starts in 2 days, so you still have a tiny bit of time to get an entry in and be eligible to win a free copy of Halo 3! (We first mentioned this contest last month - the deadline has moved up since then.) (Louis Wu 20:49:23 UTC)

I Wasn't Allowed To Call Her John.
We have a very special One One Se7en for you today - as of last night, Stuntmutt is a daddy! He's going to be taking some paternity leave, but don't fret - he's lined up some awesome guest artists for the next few weeks. We'll start rolling out those strips on Monday. For now... check out the cute widdle baby! (Louis Wu 16:32:25 UTC)

MLG Meadowlands - coverage kicks off
Bunch of Pro Halo news; MLG's second tournament of the season kicks off today in the Meadowlands, and there's a bunch of buzz. The Newark Star-Ledger has a summary article, Amped eSports looks at the key matches, and MLGPro.com has plenty of its own content (thanks, 3Suns) - team changes (again), Sound Arguments Ep 16, and a look at the Carbon/FB rivalry. Go read - gaming starts soon!

Halo 2 Strategy Guide updated for Vista
Stephen 'SoundEffect' Loftus wrote to let us know he'd picked up the Strategy Guide for Halo 2 Vista. Basically, they updated the Halo 2 Strategy Guide (for Xbox) with new screenshots, keyboard info (duh), and all the new maps released since 2004. Finally, there's a section on Achievements (including details on how to get them). Looks like it might be worth grabbing if you've got H2V! (Louis Wu 12:12:00 UTC)

Putting His Back Into It.
Last week, Bungie posted an article about the audio for Halo 3 (see here) - it started off with a description of Jay Weinland's hunt for specific sounds. Stuntmutt has an idea about where some of those sounds might be coming from... check today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 16:28:46 UTC)

Halo 2 Cardboard Cutout for Sale
Toby Allen wrote to point out an auction on eBay.uk - It's a Halo 2 cardboard cutout, the kind you'd find in a game store. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Starting bid is £19.99, almost 10 days left on the auction. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:17:23 UTC)

Xbox.com's Halo 2 Challenge
Back in early April, we mentioned a teaser for an upcoming 'Halo 2 Challenge' that was found in Trixie's blog on Xbox.com. The Thurmanator noticed that an info page is now up at Xbox.com - go check it out! Cool prizes, 15 days to play (starting, probably not coincidentally, the day after the Halo 3 Beta ends).

Red Light, Green Light
Sane Intolerant sent word of his latest Halo Toy Box effort - Red Light, Green Light. You know... I'm starting to wonder if I'm living in someone ELSE'S video game... (Louis Wu 20:39:56 UTC)
