Bungie's future Halo a No-Show at E3, because Microsoft had too much News
There was some controversy about Bungie not being able to show what they're working on at the E3 2008, because of Microsoft.
Bungie posted a statement on their site that they are very disappointed about not being able to show what they're working on to the fans.
The LA Times reports now why Microsoft held Bungie back. Apparently the E3 2008 briefing of Microsoft was initially 150min. long, which is way to long for us journalists to keep alert. Also Microsoft's Don Mattrick says that the Bungie's Halo news would be done more justice with a more dedicated event.

Motor Trend Pits Shelby GT 500 and Dodge Challenger SRT8 Against Each Other
Motor Trend has put up a fast comparison between the 2008 Ford Shelby GT and the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. To my eyes the Shelby GT500 is a much more attractive car, the Challenger looks good but it’s a much larger car with less power.
Motor Trend points out that the Challenger costs about $4000 less than the Shelby as well. The catch is that almost the entire run for 2008 of the Challenger is already spoken for and it is only offered in an automatic. For 2009 the Challenger will be back with mover models and the pistol grip manual that was in the legendary 1970’s version of the Challenger. Read more

Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge for Nintendo Wii Review
GamePyre reviews the Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge for Nintendo Wii video game. This Wii game was introduced in January and sells for $19.99 on Amazon.com.
Quote from the review: "All around, Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge is not a bad sort of puzzle game. Fans of the original PC versions should be satisfied with it, as it not only keeps all the original controls and game play, but adds new elements as well to improve the game play experience. For people like my wife (who adores puzzle games of all sorts) the replay value is worth the $30 price tag.
