So as you can tell we are excited here, Bungie released a behind the scenes making of the Halo 3 describing all of their thinking on its creations, they spend alot of time talking about the graphics engine and then another good portion on the music. Its really well made, and you just might see some fimiliar faces from the Halo 2 DVD.

Anyways Bungie has placed a million different size options for the video: Small, medium, large, as well as HD. They also offer both Windows Media Player and Quicktime formats for each size. Go check it out!

While I was surfing around Xbox.com I came across the press release kit for Halo 3. About 70mb of GIANT sized pictures of cutouts of MC and pictures from the Halo 3 trailer. The press website can be found here. And you can download the shots here.

Yes, thats right, Halo 3 has been annouced by Bungie. The long awaited game from Bungie was finally annouced at E3 this week that it was being created. Bungie realesed a short trailer to annouce it at the MS press confrence, and it looks amazing. Bungie shocked the world with their announcement they said.

Bungie wrote:
For the last year or two, people have speculated about what our next project was and surprisingly, in all that time, not a single person guessed that it would be Halo 3. Not one.
We declare it the best kept secret ever.

Not sure if many of you know this but Bungie seems to have plans to rename Halo 3 to the Forerunner. I'm not sure this is a good idea as changing the name will have a huge impact in all the fan base the name Halo has built up. Besides, if its going to be almost the same, why change the name?! How about Halo: Forerunner.

A single person is attempting to bring the Microsoft fun to handheld. As we all know Microsoft does not have a handheld so PSPdemon is trying to mod Iris in order to make a 4 player Halo deathmatch for the PSP. Of course the game won't look as good or feel as good but still good for the guys that can't live without Halo.

Alex Seropian announced that his next project is a massively multiplayer online game that's being developed alongside a TV show.

Microsoft Australia is auctioning off a giant billboard by pieces. The auction will be done through eBay and started 2 days ago for the first piece.

After changing Sydneys skyline for about 6 months this catchy Halo advertisement is now up for grabs as Xbox auctions the sign worldwide in order to raise funds for the Make a Wish fundation.

Microsoft announced plans to release Halo 2 to the PC but only for their new Operating System Windows Vista. The Vista version of Halo 2 will combine the original game with the multiplayer map pack. Players will also have tools to build and customize their own multiplayer levels.

Although Microsoft did not bother telling us the official reason for Halo 2 being "Vista Only" it can easily be deducted that they want their new OS to spread fast. This will be easily accomplished by making us buy Vista if we want to play Halo 2 on PC...

According to Electronic Gaming Monthly, the "Father of Halo", Jason Jones, has expressed interest in Nintendo's Revolution during an interview. Jones said he likes the current planned setup of Nintendos new system, especially the controllers, he said. Jones thinks it would be a innovative way to play the loved Halo, however, as you all can imagine I don't think Bungie will ever get along with Nintendo. Because Jones likes a rival system it doesn't mean that Halo will appear on NGC! (or DS, don't get your hopes up)
