Leaving in three hours to pick up ODST at a midnight launch. If I didn't know for sure I was going to be playing nothing but Halo until Modern Warfare 2 comes out, I might be interested in Katamari Forever... unless it's just a repackaged Beautiful Katamari with all the DLC included that 360 users shouldn't have had…

@Koztah: I think he meant RtCW was the first true 3D game in the Wolfenstein franchise, despite the very first game being called Wolfenstein 3D.

@ACDarkKnight: People tend to use Shadow of the Colossus as an example of what you're saying - I personally haven't played it so I guess I didn't get immersed in the world by watching my friend chase a lizard for fifteen minutes trying to pin it's tail to a tree with a bow and arrow.

@gunluva is ready to drop.: Pity, I thought someone had finally actually found some substance to their "Halo is generic" arguments - I keep challenging people to show me an example of where the Halo story has been done before (outside of basic points such as "it's set in the future" or "it has space marines") and no…

@stranger: You're right, a bunch of still images of a video game do look completely lifeless.

@Antiterra: Did youtube have the option to play your message aloud every time before that xkcd comic? I don't remember.

@Lucasreis: For the record, there was a Master System 2 - but since it was effectively the same thing as a 'Slim' version in today's modern console terms I guess it doesn't count.

@flashtut: All that says to me is that if I don't buy it at launch, wait for the slim. I bought my PS3 last year, so I have the in-between: a colossal machine running on older hardware, with no backwards compatibility.

This image made me stop scrolling because I thought it said "Nanoslut" 2, which would have been a far more exciting article for me.

@Sentry459: God, I appreciate your honesty. Some people would look at that kind of statement and consider it a bad thing. But I'm always up for more Halo. And more Star Wars for that matter.

@Lunarplasma: Granted, I've only bought one game off Impulse (GalCiv 2) and the Fallout Collection off Steam, but I much prefer Impulse. One reason is because my GalCiv 1 disc got wrecked and Impulse, recognising that I have previously registered the game, allowed me to download the digital version free of charge. I…

@Red_Dragon: You won't actually be driving. You'll have to tilt the controller while playing to maintain your balance on the roof of a Lamborghini while it blasts around a metropolis at 300km/h. And instead of playing chords, you shoot lightning.

I think now that my wife has 1550/1550 achievement points on Fallout 3, it might be time to introduce her to Fallout 2. Maybe actually finish it myself.

@Pyrefly: I don't disagree it's a poor move on Activisions part to force a price increase this way, but the point remains that prices generally go up, not down. Back on the XBox and PS2 you'd pay $100 (Australian) for a new release title, with a few truly huge titles breaking through the $99.95 price point to sell for…

BREAKING NEWS: SOMETIMES PRICES GO UP.

@dracosummoner: In all fairness to Vonhert (that frankly he doesn't deserve considering his extensive trolling), Halo 3 is considerably easier than Halo 1, which he might be blaming on what he perceives to be a 'dumber' AI.

@DocSeuss: It's between 2 and 3, so it's a prequel to 3... though it's not really a prequel since it covers the events in New Mombasa after the main players have already left.

@spectralpulse: They only ever said Halo 3 was the end of the Master Chief oriented trilogy. ODST is technically an expansion rather than a new instalment and Halo: Reach is technically a separate story.

@†Satanyoka†: A guy can't answer a question withoutbeing a corporate shill? ODST is set before Halo 3. Halo: Reach (presumably) involves fighting a planet that's already been destroyed once Halo: CE starts. Halo 3 finished the fight, but they never said anything about prequels.
