Halo 3 players XxFLAWxLESSxX, Rockout514, and lxjarh34dxl recreated the very first ever Halo screenshot using the Halo 3 engine. Lukems posted it up at Bungie.net, along with the old shot for comparison.

Over at HaloBabies, mr smiley has posted an interview with DigitalPh33r, creator of the Arby 'n' the Chief machinima at machinima.com.

Last time I felt I had to apologize for mentioning Ron Gilbert's new adventure game, DeathSpank. It's not a Bungie game. It's not a Halo game. Gilbert never worked for Bungie, or worked on Halo. The two have nothing to do with one another, and this site has always been about Bungie or people and things connected to Bungie somehow. In my own twisted way I justified including the item because while completely separate, Gilbert's Monkey Island games stood out to me as special and memorable, as well as the pinnacle of good concept and solid execution in a graphical adventure.

If you're not nearly as behind the curve as I am, then you already know that Wideload Games' upcoming party title Hail to the Chimp has released a new trailer that you can see on GameTrailers.
