Broken Halo Or Broken Record?
Louis Wu at HBO called 1UP's Broken Halo article a broken record by a whiny writer, but myself I find it hard to shrug off all of it's criticisms, even if they are old hat by this time.

Death by intelligence.

Welcome To Xbox Country?
Microsoft may open an Xbox Store in Times Square, says the Seattle Times. Thanks Voodoo Extreme. (Let's hope this is MS taking another page from Apple's book, rather than Gateway's--Ed)
News Roundup For August 31, 2005
Having recently returned to the Rampancy cave after a short stretch on the steppe, I've collected a few news nibblets of note:
- Best Buy put up a Halo 3 pre-order page. Remember, these things are worthless. Thanks BDGamer.
- Modchip maker SmartXXX got their mitts on some Xbox 360 devkits and promptly pulled them apart.
- Ducain did a writeup of Miguel "Freewill" Chavez's Suffer This LAN event. Thanks HBO.
Maptacular Maps Are Now Free
As noted by Major Nelson and many, many others, the five maps in Bungie's second, or "maptacular" pack of new maps for Halo 2, comprising Gemini, Relic, Elongation, Terminal, and Backwash, are now available for free to all Xbox Live subscribers. At this point all nine maps released via Xbox Live since Halo 2's launch in late 2004 are now freely available to anyone that has an Xbox Live subscription; only those without XBL still need to buy them on disc (also handy for multiple installations).
Podtacular Interviews Overswarm Of Not So Common Sense
Podtacular, the unofficial Halo 2 podcast radio show, includes an interview with Overswarm in this week's episode. Overswarm is the author of the [url=http://halo.bungie.org/gameplay/stratguide/]Not So Common Sense[/url] Strategy Guide on [url=http://halo.bungie.org]Halo.Bungie.org[/url]. We talk to him about strategies he uses, tips and techniques, his views on boosting, modding, and superjumping, and more.
HomeFront Halo Battlefield Mod Calls It Quits
Due to a lack of time to work on it, the HomeFront mod team, striving to bring the Halo universe to the Battlefield engine, has been cancelled as the team no longer has time to work on the mod. Thanks to Mr.Cynical who spotted itin the HBO forum.
Expect A Call From Jack Thompson
Halo Babies' 100th comic is up today, along with an update to the wallpaper section. Thanks mrsmiley.
Marius Molding Major Matt Myth Mayhem
Psyched has announced that MariusNet and The Myth Jumpers will soon be holding a Myth 2 tournament called MAJORMATT 2005. Read about all the details in Bungie's Underground forum. Thanks MBO.
Now Nobody's In The Dark Anymore
Eric Trautmann and Major Nelson both pointed out the announcement of the trilogy of Perfect Dark novels to be published by Tor Books to expand on the universe of Joanna Dark from the Perfect Dark series of games, set to be continued with the release of Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360. (Nobody is saying PD0 is a Halo-killer, but let's face it, there'll be no new Halo game to play on the Xbox 360 for awhile, and this looks like one of, if not the, best alternative in the shooter genre--Ed.)
Great Games For Gratis
C|Net has up a list of ten PC games you can download for free; the Marathon Trilogy got included in its Aleph One incarnation. Somehow, Derek Smart's Battlecruiser 3000 A.D. also got included. (BC3K is free, but I think Smart sues you and your mom if you play it--Ed.)
