Time to buy an XBOX360?

Am I the only one not having a sex wee about Halo3?? Am I weird that I'm not desperate to get it?

I'm not at all either. Might get it when it's dropped in price a fair whack, but only really for the co-op

I said virtually the same thing in another thread It does look cool, 4 player online co-op sounds ace, but that's it for me. I'll get it when I feel like it, which will probably be after I've bought everything else I currently want

Just finished Halo 2, again. Damn I can't wait. Its just like a film. That ending on 2 really floored me. "I'm here to finish this fight." Yes this will kick ass! Wait what?! Credits!? Bungie you ****! I wanna know what that was, what happened to them, what the thing is in the trailer, and so on. But then I love the games I was a bit annoyed that I didn't pre-order the legenedary pack, but I decided that the money I saved will finally go on a Master Chief figure I've been wanting since Halo 1. *contemplates xblive rename to Master-cyk*

And yet, hype machine aside, cutting through the crap about console wars and the like, what we find in Halo 3 is quite simply this - the best game yet in one of the best FPS franchises of the era. Better than either of its predecessors, Halo 3 still can't quite escape the category of flawed masterpiece - but this time around, the flaws are so minor that even the most churlish of reviewers would be hard pressed to mark the game down.

10/10

Nope, I'm the same. I've got 1 and 2 but as is usual with me for that sort of game, I never got into them. I might give the second one another blat and see how it goes.

Glad to see I'm not alone was beginning to think I was rather odd

Can't wait for C0D4 though, that kicks ass

Same. I wasn't too bothered before playing the Beta, but it's now jumped up right near the top of my most wanted games of this year. I hear the single-player campaign is pretty good too, with most of the achievements focussed on the SP side

You've just converted it from an "meh, it's OK" to a "must-have" for me

The achievements have changed recently to include some "Veteran" achievements (which will likely be hard), but there's not a multiplayer achievement among them. Seems like it could be a 1000 point game for anyone good enough to complete it on Veteran (which I'll try to do).....
