So Now What Do We Do With Our XBox 360?

WE GET HALO 3! (next year)

We saw nothing in game, but we didn't think we would really. In fact we won't be expecting it until this time next year. The trailer said 2007, we're expecting November 2007 - four years after Halo 2.


But what a trailer. We can't sum it up and don't need to, because the guy who does the music, Marty O'Donnell said it all for us on Bungie.net:

"I want them to feel pride and longing the moment Master Chief walks out of the smoke," says Marty. "I want them to get excited and perhaps even froth at the mouth when they see the Covenant Capital ship and then the incredible buried artifact. I want them to be left with that, 'I can hardly wait to play this game' feeling by the end with a slight, 'I wonder what she meant by that' aftertaste."

And we did do all of that. We even did it synchronised with one of our friends on the 360 headset, and they haven't even played the first two games. No it's not cybersex, it's just a little like it to the point where it's not wrong.

There's now people speculating that this is the last of the series because we see "finish the fight" at the end of the trailer. We doubt it. They'll always be making Halo games if they'll make money, we may just get spinoff's instead - "Master Chief goes Skiiing" for example.

So what are we going to do until then?

- Splinter Cell in September! In case you didn't know - we love these games
- Viva Pinata this year? But we're still not convinced we're gonna wanna play it
- HD-DVD player - again something we just don't care about
- Fable 2 is coming sometime, but we don't know when
- We'll be getting Prey and F.E.A.R soon. We held back on getting F.E.A.R on the PC for this reason.
- More fun with breasts in DOAX2. That's what it's all about really, if you look at that trailer you'll see how much bigger and bouncier they're getting. That's all thanks to the power of XBox.

So there's nothing really great here either for the immediate future. But once more we're excited about possibilities, and we don't need to be sold on the 360 - we've got one. There are however new things to look forward to like this cross platform Live thing where we'll be able to do stuff in Vista to pass across to the 360 and stuff. We hope to learn more about this someday.

For now however we're happy that we got a 360 and look forward to looking at people through the camera's and hope that more girls buy XBox.
