Halo 3 Planet

As mentioned earlier, the [tag]Halo[/tag] [tag]Wars[/tag] E3 Demo is now available for download on the [tag]Xbox[/tag] Live Marketplace!  You can start downloading it immediately if you have [tag]Xbox Live[/tag], or you can also download it directly from the [tag]Halo Wars[/tag] Official Website.

Halo Wars E3 Demo

This guided tour through 10 minutes of play time really gives us an excellent look at what Ensemble Studios has in store for us come 2008.  With the end of the Halo Trilogy so close at hand, this is some refreshing news for the Halo Nation!

According to ComputerandVideoGames.com, a [tag]Halo Wars[/tag] Video Demonstration will be available on the [tag]Xbox[/tag] Live Marketplace sometime today.  For those of you looking to get a glimpse of the [tag]RTS[/tag] due for release next year, here is your chance!

The video demonstration will consist of gameplay from the recent E3 and Leipzig demos, complete with commentary from the dev team. If you haven’t seen it, the short preview consists of a massive UNSC base and a skirmish with an army of Covenant forces – complete with hulking Scarab walker.

Looks juicy!  We’re looking forward to this video!  Chances are, it will be on the internetz sometime soon if you can’t get onto the XBL Marketplace.

1UP.com has some brand new Exclusive Hands on Material and [tag]Screenshots[/tag] from [tag]Halo 3[/tag].  You can check out their new screenshots here.

This is the first in a series.  We’ll be tracking it for more updates over the coming weeks until Halo 3’s launch!

Lots of new content from the [tag]Leipzig[/tag] [tag]Gamecon[/tag] 2007 is popping up all around the internets, including footage from in-game, hands on [tag]halo 3[/tag] campaign and multiplayer.

There are lots of videos to be found now (all shaky cam at this point unfortunately, but we’re hoping for some serious HD footage from [tag]Bungie[/tag] to hopefully appear soon), but definitely some fun stuff to be watching.

In the video above, you can see the new Warthog modified to carry a group of soldiers around, and the use of the Gravity Hammer (possibly the first time anyone has ever seen in in the public). My favorite line?

“Save Ammo… Run’em Over!” – Sarge?

I figured we could do with a little better branding around here, so I present you now with the new Halo 3 Planet Logo!
