I really was expecting to buy the game at the event, but I was just too overwhelmed and confused by all the stuff that was going on. To be honest, I still haven't played it. I'll get to it whenever I get the chance, whenever that is... My thoughts on Digital Life will be up soon, guys.

Eventually I gave in, purchased Halo 3 and played through it in the hope of going back through my colleagues review to understand what the hell he was talking about.Never had I completed any Halo campaign before (always been a PlayStation owner) and after the first mission, I logged online to check out the back story, which I found in ready supply (damn, novels too?). After completing Halo 3 in less than a day, there wasn't a damn thing I understood or enjoyed about the whole experience.It felt slow, unremarkable, though well paced and the story felt like nothing more than pulp fiction, which I realised, it is. The only epic thing about Halo is that IT IS BIG. Big franchise, big marketing budget, big community but not necessarily great or astonishing.For me the launch was a non-event. People either GET Halo or NOT GET Halo apparently, well I slot into category two. But what is it that people GET about the Halo franchise? That's what I keep asking myself and when it comes down to it, it'd have to be the online presence. There's always someone to play with, there's plenty of competition, there is a ranking system, even if the game itself isn't excellent.Anyway, this has been random rambling. Nice sign board ... looking forward to your second entry!Oh, and have you played Halo 3 yet? haha Wow dude, you kind of summed up the experience for me hahaha only I refused to buy the game until I found myself sick at home with nothing better to do and a terrible, terrible review of Halo 3 I was expected to post to the site.
