4  Is Halo 3: ODST Really Worth $60? Posted on 2009/09/03 BY DARRYL Originally titled Halo 3: Recon, Bungie and Microsoft have never denied that the game is essentially an expansion pack for Halo 3. However, when it was initially unveiled it was never meant to be a full-budget title, something that was changed later on. The question is, does the newly named Halo 3: ODST really warrant consumers shelling out $60? In terms of content, Halo 3: ODST has a reasonable amount.

Like the other Halo titles, Halo 3: ODST will be a first-person shooter (FPS), but will have the players assume the role of a soldier called Rookie, alongside his compatriots, instead of the iconic Master Chief. Players will search through the ruins of New Mombasa and discover what happened to the rookie's missing teammates. The game will include an option to play the campaign levels as they please, which is a new addition to the series. More »

0  Halo 3 ODST Pre-Orders Include Sgt. Johnson Posted on 2009/06/18 BY KYLE WYNEN Hitting the ground on September 22, Microsoft Game Studios is already plugging the Halo 3:ODST's pre-order bonus.

0  The Low Down On Microsoft's 10 Big Games Posted on 2009/06/01 BY DARRYL Microsoft went all out at their conference earlier today, as they gave details about ten games that will be coming exclusively to the Xbox 360. Instead of talking about multi-platform titles like last year, Microsoft spent the majority of the time talking about titles that nobody else have.

0  Microsoft E3 Forecast: Cloudy Posted on 2009/05/27 BY JAMIE COURTS Microsoft's E3 2008 line up was easily one of the most surprising of the year, and in comparison to the others, it wiped the floor. That's not really saying much though, considering Sony had a few little announcements with nothing overly shocking, and Nintendo came down to a bunch of sales charts showing profit margins. Microsoft had a large portion of the show dedicated to announcing casual games and showing its "family friendly" side with games such as Lips and You're in the Movies. More »
