In XBox news, Microsoft has just acquired Rare Ltd. They're the people who made GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong Country, and Perfect Dark. All great games from our past, so that's pretty cool.
I also wanted to mention that the Halo 2 trailer has been up for some time on xbox.com, and I definitely read a great article on Halo 2. Coolest thing is LESS polygon counts with better graphics! "How?" you say? Well, they use bump mapping built into the xbox itself. There's a realy kickass lighting engine which includes self-shading, which is very cool even though you'll never notice it probably. But the fact that it's there makes it just that much more real.
Lastly, HaloFest2 needs to happen soon, just not sure when ... college apps are crap, as is school and work and everything else going on.
