Here's a listing of a number of the post-E3 articles that are currently out on Halo or Oni. Some have doubtless already been reported by other sites and only a few include information for avid Halo or Oni fans that wasn't already covered in our news and forum reports earlier.
HALO @ E3
E3 Oni Demo, Part II
Some more information on Oni following another few rounds of playing with it.
The third person aiming is a bit difficult, but the laser sight on the guns (which doesn't project a laser line, just the red dot) actually works fairly well once you know to watch for it.
E3 '2000 Oni Demonstration
Taking a second seat to Halo in this year's E3, Oni is nevertheless making a strong showing. Two displays, one a large flatscreen showing an impressive demonstration and the other a playable demo running on a PS2 (I didn't realize this at first, it looks so true to the PC version).
Articles about Oni, the third-person action game originally developed at Bungie West and subsequently sold to Take Two Interactive.
Not all of them. In return for the 19.9% of Bungie owned by Take Two Interactive, that company received all rights to the Myth and Oni franchises. Take Two also received the rights to make two licensed games based on the Halo engine.

Although Halo was originally intended to be a third-person game, like Oni, and there was some technology sharing between the two development teams, Halo does not use Oni's engine.
The upcoming game Myth 3, being developed by Mumbo Jumbo for Take Two Interactive, uses a Myth 2 engine modified to create a fully 3d game. That engine is in no way related to Halo or Oni.

If you didn't get a copy at launch, you can now get a bargain on the Mac version of Oni at CompuExpert. Regularly priced at $32, CompuExpert has dropped the price to a measly $14.90. If you want to pick it up, now is the time to do so.
