Forums back up
Just to let you guys know the forums have gone back up, everything is as it was when you left, but you will need to re-upload your custom avatars (my mistake). Hopefully this new software will fare better against those pesky spam bots. Enjoy!

New concepts & NXE 360 theme
HaloWars.com has been updated with some new concepts for us all. Hunter, Jackal and an odd looking Flame Marine join the growing pack of concept art already available for viewing.
Also, it seems the Ensemble guys have been hard at work in creating a theme for the New Xbox Experience (NXE) dashboard. It's your's for just 250 MS points from the store. Looking pretty sweet!

Bits and pieces from VideoGamer
A few bits of information for you all today! VideoGamer have posted three separate articles each with a bit of Halo Wars news. First up we've got a flat out "no" from Graeme Devine with regard to the possibility of Halo Wars coming to the PC. Next up is another article contemplating the lack of a substantial covenant campaign. Finally, there's a preview article regarding VideoGamer's hands on experience with the game.
Credit where credit's due, thanks should go to HBO for this one.

So much news!
I'm incredibly far behind on the news-posts here, there's been loads of new Halo Wars news and gossip about since October. We've had Cobra Concept Art added to the concept galleries over at Halo Wars.com, as well as some pretty cool looking Honor Guard and "Flaming" Warthog custom paint job concepts, only available with the collectors edition of the game. The collectors edition will include a bunch of goodies, most notably a unique graphic novel, "Halo Wars: Genesis".
