Reuters Wraps Xbox E3 Kickoff
In the Reuters Technology section on Yahoo News, there's a story summarizing the events of Microsoft's press conference at E3, and it does, of course, mention the Halo 2 demonstration.
In other news, it mentions that Electronic Arts is poised to announce that it isn't going to put any of its sports titles on Xbox Live, seeming to mean that what was once a spat has escalated into a boycott. Although reportedly still talking to [EA] about it, Microsoft countered by announcing XSN , a new brand name for its own line of sports games, to be complete with virtual teams and leagues through XBL.
MS also announced some improvements to XBL itself, including a voice-based chat room.
Glenda Adams Leaves Westlake For Aspyr

Me Too, Me Too
Not to be outdone, IGN also has some new Halo 2 stuff up-- thanks to Louis Wu at HBO, where we noticed the news. Their full trailer footage, like GameSpot's, are for paying subscribers only, but they have some free teaser clips. They also have the same screenshots as GameSpot, but without watermarks. Then, of course, they have their own trailer impressions.
GamerFeed has their reaction to the press conference as well.
Also, it has become apparent that the trailers and teasers that both sites have for their members may or may not have been authorized by Bungie. FYI.
New Screenshots At T&R
Mehve over at Bungie.net has posted that the Truth and Reconciliation site has new Halo 2 screenshots, new PC Halo screenshots, and a new Halo 2 wallpaper.
GameSpot Does Halo 2
gamer90 over at Subnova pointed out some recent Halo 2 items at GameSpot, including two new trailers, six new screenshots, and a new preview article. Enjoy.
