I would like halo3 on the PS3, i've beaten the game 5-6 times and played maybe 6 hours of it online. Its one of the most fun games i have played this gen. I love the series so much i have each Halo game and i don't even own an xbox or a 360. Gears i would buy at $20, and the other games i have no interest in.

 

Well, it's like this. This mythos around Halo 3 has formed from marginalization that the game sucks. It actually does not suck. It's quite fun.

A. The game is over-rated.

B. CoD4 blows it out of the water.

C. Yahtzee's review is scathing and marginalizing.

D. There is a stigma that the single player campaign is short(It's about 10-13 hours, long for a shooter)

E. There is a rumor than it's an online shooter only.

In the end though, Halo 3 is better than any other FPS on the PS3 besides CoD4. Bioshock is better than Halo 3 but it's not on the PS3 yet. Halo 3 is much better than the really good FPA The Darkness, and F.E.A.R. on the PS3 sucks compared to the other versions.

The fact is, the single player is fun and filled with replay value.

It is also the best 2 player split screen shooter, period, since it has co-op play, and really ourperforms CoD4 in 1v1(due to CoD4's shallow life pool even at double health), though lacks the team mechanic that makes that games multiplayer so famously good.

So yeah, don't believe everything you read. Halo 3 is certainly over-rated, but it's still a AAA shooter, and you most definitely should want to play it if you never have. End of story.

Also, Gears of War...is godaweful. Fable 1 is much better imo.

My most anticipated 360 game is Alan Wake, and if you all saw the trailer it would be at the top of your list as well.

I'm not sure you read what i said or quoted me by mistake, but i said i loved halo3 and beat the game 5-6 times.  Biosohock is a good game, but its too hard to compare it too halo3, they are just too different.  I've also seen the trailer for Alan Wake, it seemed really interesting, but what we saw was so long ago, and the game has been pushed back until 2009 sometime.
