Halo 2 Making-Of Movie Illuminates
Thanks to Halo.bungie.org for their story collating download sources for a new Halo 2 movie from Microsoft's X03 exhibition in France, unfortunately filmed shakycam-style, but showing 7 minutes of a previously unseen Halo 2 'making-of' piece, including lots of interviews and new footage. Xboxyde.com has captured some screenshots from the approx. 50mb movie, showing off the due-in-2004 Xbox killer app.

"Microsoft's X03 exhibition in France"
I, for one, welcome our new French overlords. However, I also look forward to the day when they retreat in terror the first time one of us so much as raises a butterknife in defiance.

Bittorrent file for an amazing video of Super Mario Bros 3. It's pretty sweet, I'm spreading the .torrent link everywhere that I can.
I own an xbox, and I loved Halo one, but with all this media coverage, and new stories once the smallest things happen, I'm afriad halo 2 might be overhyped. And when it finally comes out, it will just be a giant disappointment, which the xbox really can't take right now
Their advantage is that they are a small developer with a producer (Microsoft) who keeps its dirty little hands off. You haven't seenen Bungie start putting up advertising or submitting special presentations to websites/magazines, unlike game companies which release all sorts of fancy information over the months. If you look at EA's C&C Generals : Zero Hour, they're advertising that game like its the Half-Life 2 of strategy games even though hardcore and casual players agree that original was just an average strategy game.
After so many years reading that site, finally I have done something worth posting as a news, even if it's "only" the special games section :)
Not bad for a 6 days old site !

Finally, Xbox gets its second killer app! And it's only been three years since the Xbox was unleashed!
Halo i believe is one of the best XBOX fs game out there. the action is incredible. the graphics are a little out of wack but besides the point. But if you saw the preview on E3 (if you haven't go to Gamespy.com and they will have it. There was action form the straight beginning and even in the movie clips. Just sit back and watch the action for one of the badest games coming for Xbox
Cash!
I'd pay $100 for a Halo level-editor! Cash money!
I love this game, but Bungie could make great gobs of $ with just some new player-maps of "Blood Gulch" quality instead of developing gimmicks like two-fisted weapons.
