To those who are reading this instead of playing their brand new copy of 'Halo 3', I salute you!
We haven't got our copies of the Bungie Studios' latest title at CGS HQ yet, but there's no time to mope; because we're all aflutter with the latest news coming back from our ADAPT 2007 correspondents. Set in Montreal, Canada, this year's conference has it all - cocktail parties, Syd Mead workshops, miles of digital art, talks by Phil Tippett, Ryan Church, Andrew Jones, major companies exhibiting and more cocktail parties ... please, boss, can I go next year? Read our ADAPT 2007 diary for all that is happening, as it happens.
Also, check out all the details of this week's highlights:

EXPOSÉ 5
"As with the previous titles in this series, EXPOSÉ 5 does a fantastic job of gathering the world's best digital artists. With ever-increasing numbers of entries making the judging process harder, it's looking like you may need to buy a bigger coffee table." - Imagine FX, August 2007
