That means that more than two out of three Xbox 360 owners use the service. The company has...

Ahhhhh Halo - one of the biggest selling title in Xbox history - a console shifter when it was released & Halo 2 was bigger still. Then, when Halo 3 came out, the hype was epic. For the new outing from the Bungie team, (originally called Halo 3: Recon, but renamed later on) Halo 3: ODST had a lot to live up to, but but there was not the hype of previous games. However, I was still excited &...

I am not the biggest Halo fan to be honest, I don't know the characters that well at all or the story. But I like the action and shooting. First 30 seconds of ODST's single player I let out an audible groan "You know the music, time to dance" said the commander to his troops. . Past that point though (about an hour in) it wasn't too bad, although I am totally lost now because the game loves...
