Before today I was one of the (I assume) Very few XBOX 360 owners with no interest in Halo 3. I've barely played more than a few minutes of the previous games in the series, but today Joe and I went out and bought Microsoft's newest shooter.

I guess the hype got to us. :P

It's not the best looking game, but the controls, music, and sound effects are superb. The online lobby system seems a bit overly complicated, but once your in a good match, you realize why people love the series so much. It doesn't feel like it deserved a 9.5, but It's definitely worth 60 bucks.

Did I sell out to Microsoft? I don't know. I'll let you guys and gals be the judge of that. All I know is I'll be enjoying this game for a while (At least until Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty 4 come out :P )
