We were informed by Ledjon that Halowar, hosted by EGN, has just come online. One of the more interesting features is a ranking sytem for Halo fan sites. They also supply forums and some file archives. Take a look.

Fresh from the hijacked GameWeek computer! A few moments ago, Doug accepted an award from All Gaming Monthly for Most Promising Game of E3. The headling pretty much sums it up, and I'm about to be run off the computer, so we'll leave it at that. Surely the first of many awards to come...

If you haven't yet, read Part I. And if you have, then Part II. This second half of the E3 Halo demo transcript describes (though words fail to do reality justice) a terrific battle in the Halo engine, giving us our first taste of what a real team operation might look like.

Bungie has really pulled all the stops out for their booth here at E3. The Halo that they are showing in a large, cloth enclosed theatre is quite possibly one of the most popular attractions, with a line of seated people circling the booth, waiting to see it. Even the sound is impressive, with that deep Halo theme music rumbling out of the booth.

Kudos to mad.max, who posted a small scan taken from the recent PCGamer UK Halo preview. While it's not terribly informative, it is a neat shot, and a great photo of Bungie's Doug Zartman to boot. I do wonder what weapon the marine is firing one handed in the background, though...

Have we got a treat for you! Jaime Case Griesemer, Senior Designer for Bungie's Halo project, has consented to answer some questions about himself and about Halo. For those of you who don't know much about Jaime, he was a member and well-respected webmaster in the Bungie fan community for some time before going to work for Bungie. Here's a small excerpt from the interview:

A trusted source who wishes to remain anonymous found something in the recent PC Gamer (UK edition) Halo preview that he didn't think jived with previous information:

I just got the June issue of PC Gamer (The US edition) yesterday and it includes a feature article that previews several games that are guaranteed to renew your passion for gaming this coming year.
