The State, a paper in Columbia, SC, is running a one-mission-a-day recap of the game; the first two missions are done (one | two). Full of spoilers, of course. I’ll see if I can remember to link future missions.(Louis Wu 14:37:02 UTC)
A bunch more reviews popped through my inbox:
It’s been suggested that we simply point you to an aggregator, like gamerankings.com, and dispense with the review listings altogether… at this point, we’re probably just going to keep posting them, but the day may come when we decide it’s futile.(Louis Wu 14:42:15 UTC)

A couple of days ago, Bungie posted a note about the reopening of the Gallery Forum - and the re-emergence of the Caption Contest. Visit the thread listed, write a funny caption to go with the funny picture, get famous. No profit, sorry.(Louis Wu 14:30:15 UTC)
Wired takes another look at the Game Content Usage Rules Microsoft published a couple of months ago - not a lot new, but it does a nice job of comparing the situation facing Halo machinima creators with that of creators in the Blizzard camp. Thanks, Xavier Guerrero.(Louis Wu 14:25:13 UTC)
Cody Misura sent us word of Halo 3 League, an online tourney site with both free and pay-to-enter, win-cash tournaments. Look around!(Louis Wu 14:01:27 UTC)
We’ve finally turned on the option to block Halo 3 spoilers in our news - because the time has come to allow us to post Halo 3 spoilers in our news. If you don’t want to see Halo 3 spoilers at all, make sure you reset your cookie choices with the little ‘Change This!’ link at the top of the page. (The cookie name has changed, so that EVERYONE will need to make a change unless they want NO spoilers at all.)(Louis Wu 13:00:22 UTC)
Planet Halo is running a contest in partnership with the US Air Force called “The Do Something Amazing Movie Contest” (free registration required). Create a one-minute Film Clip in Halo 3 (which limits this to multiplayer, since clips can’t be made in Campaign), save it to your File Share on Bungie.net and send them a note and link explaining why it’s so cool. Grand prize is a Halo 3 edition Xbox 360 and Battle Rifle replicas - not bad! Thanks Michael “Fluffaluffer” Karlsson for letting us know.(GhaleonEB 02:20:30 UTC)
