Phish writes in to inform us of his new Myth III map, titled Triple Backstab . Here's the fat from Phish:

Creation Games has released Sisters of the Blade, which Blambi at MythVillage dubbed scantily clad chicks running around killing stuff.

And, as was noted before, this marks the end of Creation Games. Farewell.

Also from Blambi at MythVillage comes word of electric playground's review of Myth III. Unlike the the beta tester, they didn't feel a GF3 was really all that necessary:

Battleground: Halo spotted an interesting tidbit in the latest issue of PC Zone:

Our guess is that Halo for the PC will be out next autumn, probably to coincide with the announcement of Halo 2, which is already being worked on and a cert to arrive on Xbox first yet again.

Before you get all excited, this statement has no credibility. Don't believe it simply because it's in a printed magazine; they're very often wrong.

Yesterday, Driver8 registered as a user on Rampancy.net, leading us to his website, where lives his Myth Chat Extractor program:

Ultramag of X-Treme Gaming Radio has reviewed Myth III. It's a fairly positive review overall, but it only scores 77% due to a few flaws such as voice acting and a tired story . (Thanks Myth Village)

A couple more mirror links for the Myth III single player demo have been added at Myth Guide. The 98 MB demo is now available at 3D Gamers and File Planet. The original file is still available at Gigex, too.

Kudos to Infininight at Myth Village who has reported the availability of the Myth III solo demo for PC at Myth Guide. The 98 MB demo is available on Myth Guide's demo page and is currently exclusive to Gigex.

Head 2 Head has a Myth III review in the form of a dialogue among two gamers: Tristinian and Silver Surfer. Tristinian discusses the story of Myth III and the use of the in-game cutscenes:

GamesDomain not only liked the game a lot-- in fact, they liked it better than the previous two:

There are a couple of Myth III reviews in the strategy section of PC Game Reviews. These user-submitted reviews are very positive overall. At this point, Myth III's average rating is 4.5 out of 5.

The Mumbo Jumbo website has updated with some important Myth III information. The first bit of news offers a lot of hope to those of us worried about Myth III's future:

There's a poll at GameSpot, asking in light of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 coming to the PC, which of these other high-profile console games would you most like to see brought to the PC? Of course, Halo is an option. Halo is currently winning with 30% of the votes (nearly 2000).

CG Online has a short interview with Jason Jones, original cofounder of Bungie Software Products Corporation subsequently sold to Microsoft and transmogrified into Bungie Studios, developers of Halo for the Xbox. They asked point blank if Halo would still come to the PC, to which Jones replied point blank, yes .

Our very own Ferrex, now of Bungie Studios, has posted a message in the forum at HBO giving his own personal views of the pros and cons of the Xbox compared to PCs or Nintendo's GameCube. Some of the highlights:
