Halo for PC - Gone Gold!
09/15/03
The day has finally come! PC Halo will now finally be in shops by the end of this month! SketchFactor has posted an interview conducted with Michel Bastien, Bungie's handy producer, based on questions submitted at our sister site: HBO, along with details of the release and a whole slew of new screenshots and images in the Halo PC gallery.
But you don't want to be reading my account of it, get lost! That other site is where's it's happening. Begone!
Oh and for those of you still here, you might want to read the Microsoft press release concerning this most momentous of occasions.

John Butkus displays his one-thousand-three-hundred-and-thirty-seven-ness once again in the form of yet another b.net top story. Ever wanted to animate the Masterchief's stylin' teabagging moves? Do you fancy the prospect of bringing the next beach voleyball game to life? If you answered yes to either of those questions, we need to have a little chat.
But in all seriousness folks *chortle* check out John's article, it's a great read and points out a lesson that seems to be important for any job in the gaming industry: practice and portfolios pay!
Maybe I'll get the next one on time... who knows?

This oversight has been corrected! You can check out details of their last Halo (and other games) LAN fundraising party from a few weeks back.
