If you're still not sure what to think about Oni, you can check out three more reviews from HappyPuppy (thanks, Cody Miller), Stomped and Game Over. If you've been reading earlier reviews, though, you won't see much that's new; same praise, same complaints, same mixed-but-positive-overall opinions.
Lophan posted to our community forum that the terribly cool AdCritic site has listed the companies that are expected to be advertisers in SuperBowl XXXV... and Microsoft is currently not one of them. That means no X-Box and no Halo in between the plays. Bummer. Well, if you've got a broadband connection (or are otherwise a glutton for punishment) you might still want to check out some of the funnier ads that AdCritic tracks.
Appleicious has gotten around to supplying us images from both MWSF and the Fan Fest. Be sure to thank him (and Tobin and Cunbelin) for sharing.
The bungie.org folk have painstakingly reconstructed the Fanfest Trivia Quiz and placed it here. Pit your knowledge against your little sister's, or your cat's, or that of whomever you can cajole or blackmail into taking it too.
These pieces were too good to miss... HBO posted a news item about several pieces of art that have been recently submitted by Jay Faircloth, and I think everyone should have a chance to look at them.
Additionally, the winners of the GoD Oni fan art competition (Jay got second place, after a somewhat masculinized version of Konoko) have been announced, and you can see the images over at OBO.
A newcomer to the forum, Decapentaplegic/DaveK posted a number of images from the Bungie Trivia Quiz. (Thanks man) Think you know enough? You can't handle the tru7h!!!
Tobin, known and beloved by those who frequent certain hotline servers in the Bungie fan community, (Don't accept any URLs if you don't know where they've been!) supplied us with another batch of images. His focus was more upon the people involved than the presentation given, including one shot of himself performing a public service. ;-)
As mentioned below, Cunbelin took many pictures while at the fanfest, a complete list of which can be found on the forum. For those of you daunted by the elegant, efficient naming scheme in that list, here's a few picks of the litter.
First off, a few Halo shots from the old, E3 engine build. Matt allegedly took the time to point out how ugly these shots are in comparison to the new engine builds:
The next three come from somewhere in Oni, presumably from cutscenes and/or publicity shots:
And the last few are from here and there among the list:
Many thanks to Cunbelin, who provided these pictures and more, and to everyone else who posted their reports from the Fanfest in the forum. Bon appetite!
