Halo 3: ODST

By Martin on September 20, 2009

Halo 3: ODST starts with a rather fetching vista of 26th century Earth. You, affectionately dubbed the Rookie, are being dropped from orbit into the smouldering ruins of New Mombasa. Originally planned as a petite single-player side-mission in the Halo archives, ODST has progressively spiralled into a series iteration in its own right. Microsoft certainly seem to think so, anyway, and have elected to release the game with a forty quid price tag. As the Rookie steps out of his pod he’s about to stumble upon what has inadvertently become one of 2009′s most high profile and significant releases. That’s got to be a lot to take in for the new guy.
