It's Tuesday, so it's time for another installment of Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris' Solo Legendary All Skulls On Walkthrough of Halo 3 - this week's info considers Cortana, and the pus-covered ship it takes place on. Lots and lots of movies, lots and lots of tips. When you get through reading this, you might think that SLASO is easier than Heroic! (Okay, not really.)(Louis Wu 18:50:01 UTC)

urk posted a note about Psychoneurosis, a Halo 3 tricking video put together by DWT Productions - some pretty bizarre stuff! (If you swing by High Impact Halo, you can find a high-res download link, as well - it's a beefy 225 mb, though.)(Louis Wu 17:48:47 UTC)

DrDoctor pointed out an article at CNET about some new 'Halo-esque' armor for Korea's troops... we're getting closer to ODSTs!(Louis Wu 17:17:49 UTC)

Ensemble's Dave Pottinger talked to Shacknews about the closure of Ensemble Studios - and some information about the cancelled Halo MMO (there was a flurry of info about this project back in September). Sounds like they're pretty unhappy about the closure - and the MMO project had gotten a lot further along than anyone thought! Thanks, vshields ash.(Louis Wu 17:16:49 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped in to complain about Mondays, and to point out new content at Tied the Leader. Wait... it's Tuesday again? There's a full writeup of the honorable profession of Wheelmanning, complementing the Tail-gunner article from last week. And OboeCrazy has put together an October Highlight Reel for the Gunslingers (you cannot see it in high quality when it's embedded, so I'd suggest viewing this on YouTube after you read the writeup) - very, very funny stuff.(Louis Wu 17:14:56 UTC)

LostRock11 pointed out a rather bizarre, but pretty funny, video put together by Balloon Shop last year just after Halo 3 was released. It made me laugh!(Louis Wu 17:13:01 UTC)

Raulboy noticed some cool Custom Lego Spartans for sale on eBay - and Dustbunny27 showed him how to get them even cheaper. Build your own Halo Lego army! (Louis Wu 17:11:29 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy uncovered a really cool Elite costume... but even better, she found the perfect soundtrack for it. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:01:52 UTC)

Willy let us know that his clan, CE United, participated in a LAN event with 8-Bit Brigade over Halloween - check out the recap! (Louis Wu 17:01:03 UTC)

The Halo Wars news is pouring in fast and furiously. IGN has a hands-on preview of the campaign, GameSpot has updated their hands-on article, D+PAD has an interview with Graeme Devine (four pages long, lots of info). We'd updated our earlier screenshots post - but if you missed the update, swing by and read it now!(Louis Wu 22:41:13 UTC)

Still not taking full advantage of the tags on B.net's user-generated content? urk gives you another example of why they're cool. Today's pics are SPNKR-related. (Louis Wu 19:24:48 UTC)

DigitalPh33r's story of Esoteria and its police force continues with Bernard's driving test, and the governor's unhappiness with a cop that asks questions. I'm liking the series more than I used to! Thanks to urk for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 18:29:23 UTC)

A new batch of Halo Wars screenshots and a few cutscene stills were released this morning - we've posted them here, because it's a good bet that the full-sized images (5120x2880 for the screenshots, 1920x1280 for the stills) won't make it to the web on most sites - and almost EVERY other site will slap a watermark on each image. Enjoy the full-sized, watermark-free versions! Update: Kotaku got a LOT more pictures than we had access to (though I put up another 5 shots on our page); Kotaku's are not watermarked, but they're not big, either. However... some of them ARE really cool. (There's an interesting article that goes with them - story material, background on gameplay, more. Worth a read. Thanks, gunluva.)(Louis Wu 17:56:39 UTC)

VideoGamer.com has posted a series of Halo Wars news bits this morning - there's one that has quotes from Ensemble's Graeme Devine stating that Halo Wars will never show up on a PC, another that discusses the lack of a Covenant option in the Campaign (it came down to time), and yet another that gives you a hands-on preview of the game. Spread 'em out, more pageviews! (Louis Wu 16:09:17 UTC)

AnTi PRO let us know that another Bryan Simon song, 'Snipers are Wussies', has been turned into a Halo music video - great song, great clips!(Louis Wu 16:08:50 UTC)

Bryan Simon sent word this morning that, inspired by this weekend's Grifball list, he's written a new song, "Grifball FTW". You can watch it on YouTube, or you can download the MP3 from us. Your call! (Louis Wu 16:08:21 UTC)

A couple of interesting bits today at Hawty McBloggy's - she ran across a legitimate Killionaire in ranked matchmaking (it's SWAT, but it's still pretty amazing - how many of these do YOU have?)... and a guest writer, Halcylon, wrote up his experience at Video Games Live in Chicago (the Halo portion continues to impress). Go read!(Louis Wu 16:07:05 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue announced that Reclaimer 112 is online - things are getting squirrely... (Louis Wu 16:06:33 UTC)

NeoGAF's EazyB has recreated Valhalla using Far Cry 2's Level Editor - you can check out a pretty long movie showing the features on YouTube. Nice work! (Louis Wu 16:05:52 UTC)

B mc gann put together his Top 10 MLG Exterminations - some great play, some funny mistakes by the opposition. Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:05:32 UTC)
