Halo 3
The conclusion to the original Halo trilogy has the super-soldier Master Chief joining forces with The Arbiter to finish off the threat of both the remaining Covenant Empire and the parasitic Flood, once and for all.
The stunning end to the Halo trilogy.
Here it is: the third installment in the Halo franchise and the sequel to Halo 2 (2004). Everyone still says this is one of the greatest ever made like the previous two games in the franchise and I do… Read more

A good experience that is sure to entertain, but it's not without its blights.
