Halo 3 Blows 'Em Away



Video-gamers everywhere are proud to now have the extraordinary video game,"Halo 3," in their possession, some a little too proud. This science-fiction game which is set in the imagined future, as all humanity battles for survival against aliens.The Xbox 360, produced by Microsoft, video game console is putting out this game as one of the most anticipated games of 2007. Halo 3 is the game to keep the Microsoft company running as the Xbox 360's lately have been outsold by the less expensive Nintendo Wii.

While the Xbox 360 plays remarkably in many aspects, it also plays DVD's and movies downloaded directly onto the console from the internet. Things like these you'd think would be in the Jetsons! However, even with these great qualities, the machines have just not been selling. Microsoft is hoping with the release of Halo 3, they can keep the system alive and beat the competitors such as the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii. All that mattered as of 12:01 A.M. on Tuesday Sept. 25 was the game. In over 10,000 stores across the country, hardcore video-gamers camped out waiting for Halo 3 as early as Sunday night. Before stores opened, well over 1 million across the country reserved a copy of this chapter in the legendary Halo saga. Sony is attempting to compete with these soon-to-be record sales, but doesn't have anything to put out on the PS3. This could well set the record for most sales of all-time very soon.
