I just received this email this morning, and it clearly looks like what’s becoming another alternate reality game revolving around Halo 3.

HISTORY CIRCLING
BACK UPON US.

The gears of the Universe spin further
and further apart.
Ever greater grows the gulf between souls,
And distance gives false hope of safety
But for the grim tidings this messenger bears:

The enemy is almost upon us

Closing in from all sides,
Moving faster than the light
it snuffs with its passage,
Time echoes with the news of destruction.
History winding back upon itself.

Waves of an army march this way in unison, Suffering and corruption are its battle cries.
For I have known this darkness
and felt its embrace once before-
Horror best laid to rest

Yet a Journey must commence

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

While the fine folks over at HushedCasket have already built a fine summary of happenings to date, it looks like this is just the tip of the iceberg if the “I Love Bees” ARG was any indication of what to expect.

That said, there could very well be a tip-off that comes in the form of an obscure, nearly-hidden detail in any Halo 3 related material (like the brief flash of a URL in a trailer). So, if ARGs are your thing, or you just missed out on I Love Bees, keep your eyes open and be on the lookout for clues!

I had a chance to sit down with Feelz_Good (GamertagRadio.com), Vicious696 (UncleGamer.com, and Tony Hynes (Gamerscoreblog.com) in the Tiburon building, in Orlando Fla, to share our view on the latest incarnation of Electronic Arts famous NCAA football series.

As a community devoted to the enjoyment and healthy lovin’ of the Halo franchise, we can’t help but be curious as to what Halo 3 will bring us. Thanks to Bungie, we’ve been able to enjoy a public beta of Halo 3 for a few weeks now and it seems that everybody is confident that the multiplayer aspect of Halo 3 will meet everyone’s expectations.

However, to find out what happens to Master Chief and the human race, the Covenant (and even those pesky Flood), the suspense is gonna be downright brutal in the coming months. None of us know what’s going to happen yet, but we’re all just as eager as the next guy to see it play out. So, here at Podtacular, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to not ruin anyone’s fun and discuss or spoil the single player campaign of the game until people have had a chance to experience it for themselves. We ask that you do the same.

That means in your blogs, forum posts, comments, etc. you should use a little discretion and not discuss spoilers. If you have some new information but aren’t sure if it’s spoiler material, please at least mark it with a SPOILER WARNING. We’ll do our best to keep Podtacular.com spoiler-free (at our own expense, of course), but it’s all in the interest of not ruining what new hotness Bungie has in store to melt our brains this September.

Those lucky Nintendo Wii owners are gonna be in for a huge treat. Capcom is bring their most popular franchise; Resident Evil, to you lucky Wii-ners.
