Firstly, if you are a Mac Gamer, MacSoft has just released a patch update (1.04) for Halo. You may download it here.

UPDATE: You should be aware that there might be keyboard issues with this release - there have been a few reports of oddness. (At least one was phrased in a pretty obnoxious way.) These have been reported to MacSoft; hopefully the issue will be resolved quickly. (From HBO)

Toy Fair, the toy industry equivalent of E3, kicks off today in New York and JoyRide Studios is there to show off their super 2004 lineup. Since we can't be there to check out the scene in person, we've sent in one of our operatives to send back the first ever glimpses of some VERY cool figures. All of the Toy Fair 2004 images have been added to our gallery. Read the full article.

Another Update, it seems that CPL's Extreme World Championchip 2004 will NOT be cutting Halo from this competition. Yay!
