The Halo franchise is the most beloved and hated franchise of all time. Most of the gaming community love the franchise and say it's fresh enough to keep play after you finished it, thanks to it's excellent storys, varied and fun gameplay, great graphics, and a multiplayer that is un-matched. Others say "It's over-rated." Now, with it's highly anticipated Spin-Off, Halo 3: ODST, finally arriving, all I can say that…

Now here's a game that has all of that, and manages to be better than Indieana Jones 4 and 2, and all of 2009's summer block busters.…
