Halo 3, or a good reason to spend too much money

September 26, 2007 | In Video Games | No Comments

Confession: I’m addicted to Halo. If it wasn’t for this first person shooter, I would have little interest in the Xbox, as I am a Nintendo fan from way back in the day (which by the way was a Tuesday back in 1986). However the Halo series is too good to pass up.

Halo 3, the final game in the story trilogy was released earlier this week and I didn’t buy it. The problem is, I don’t have an Xbox 360. I do have an original Xbox with the first two games, but that doesn’t help me playing the third game.

Lucky for me I have a friend with a 360 and he was nice enough to let me give the game a spin. I was able to quickly make my way through the first level yesterday and follow that up with some death match gaming. After about 2 hours with the game I can honestly say it’s a fantastic addition to the series and increases my interest in the second Xbox.

It’s still going to be a while before my next Xbox goes into my system, so my time with the new Halo will mostly be spent over at friends places. If you want to buy me a 360, I wouldn’t (probably wouldn’t) say no.

Some day, some day.
