As some of you have already noticed, some members of the Podtacular community are now getting a chance to play the Halo 3 beta early, thanks to Bungie’s Friends and Family program. If you haven’t already, be sure to check your inbox over at Bungie.net to see if you’re invited.

Some of these people were invited directly from Bungie, while others were chosen at random, so chances of people getting in were already pretty slim, but [b]don’t let that get you down[/b]. As long as you’ve been invited through one of the other three methods, you’ll still get your chance to put Halo 3 to the test on Wednesday May 16th. There are some people who won’t even get into that, and moreover, there are people who don’t even have a 360, so consider yourself lucky! :)

Be sure to also check out the [url=https://podtacular.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=41]new Halo 3 Beta Test forum[/url] and keep a sharp eye out for a special early podcast with our first impressions of the beta and what you can expect from it! Continue reading →

I was recently contacted by the founders of [url=http://goozex.com]goozex.com[/url], the game trading site. They noticed that a lot of their members were from here, so they wanted to offer Podtacular members a special deal at goozex for trading in games. Use the coupon code [b]podtacular-2007[/b] for 5 free trades and 100 free credits after the first trade! Read on for a quick explanation of how it works.

[url=http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/puzzle/catan/index.html]Catan[/url] is the only board game I own and it’s really fun. If you’ve played the board game, the Xbox Live Arcade equivalent is [i]even better[/i] IMHO. The idea is you’re a settler on an island and you’re trying to become the dominant clan on the island first. You need to trade resources with your opponents to make it happen, so there’s an interesting degree of competitive cooperation in the game. There’s also a good amount of twists that can really turn the tides. Stay tuned to the podtacular podcast for the usual quick review of this game. In the mean time, I highly recommend buying it and look forward to playing Catan with some of you soon!
