Ugh I'm so sick of reviews at this point, I just want to play the damn game.

292 GAME stores up and down the land open at midnight tonight to sell Halo 4.

The flagship launch is at GAME Stratford (GAME Oxford Street is no more).

Meanwhile, at 7.45pm, some kind of stunt at the River Thames will be performed from the Greenwich Peninsular to Tower Bridge. It'll be an “amazing spectacle” apparently, and fans are advised to arrive at Butler's Wharf around 7.30pm. If you show a photo of the stunt on your phone at GAME Stratford you may win some Halo merchandise.

GAME is laying on a Halo bus to shift the first 50 fans from Thames Walkway at 9pm to the Stratford shop. There will be a life-size replica of a Warthog and a gaming pod area. 343 boss Kiki Wolfkill will be there to sign copies of the game.

And finally someone from the queue will get a limited edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 and a Samsung Notebook 5 Series.

Microsoft has high hopes for Xbox 360 exclusive Halo 4, which cost more to make than any Microsoft game. It expects to add considerably to the 46 million Halo games that have been sold worldwide since the first game, Halo: Combat Evolved, launched on the Xbox in 2001. The last game in the series, Halo: Reach, made more than $200 million in sales in the US and Europe in the first 24 hours of release - a figure that eclipsed all previous 2010 US entertainment launches, including the three-day opening weekends of Iron Man 2, Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3.

Can I pick your brain for your opinion so far? Better than you expected, or worse? Does it look good?

Won't be able to get it myself for a while, so I want to know if it'll be worth the wait, even though I'm a big Halo fan, so it should be.

Does anyone PLEASE know where I can find a list of all the multiplayer gametypes in Halo 4?!

Yeah, I'd like to hear how you think it compares to other Halos thus far. Just general impressions is fine with me, no spoiler.

Also, I am going to a midnight but at my local Walmart. I'm not down with standing online at Gamestop for 2-3 hrs. anymore, fuck that. I'm hoping I can just swoop in, scoop up the game, then be out and have it fired up in my Xbox in less time than it would take that long ass Gamespot line to move 30 ft.

Its brilliant. Story is great and its by far the best looking 360 game Ive played. Facial animations are better than anything else Ive seen.

I like how the story is going. Its so much better than Halo 2 and 3. Cant really have a full opinion until I beat it though. Gonna have to be something special to beat Halo Reach's ending.

I havent tried Spartan Ops yet.

Overall its what I expected it to be - A brilliant Halo game. I really need more time with it though to give a full opinion.

Yes, of course that's totally understandable about playing it more. I appreciate your assessment none the less, it's what I was looking for. I will say though that expecting a crazy good ending or anything like Reach's might be setting yourself up for a little let down. Remember that this is the first installation of a new trilogy, an unsatisfying and or cliff hanging ending is probably more likely because of it.

Yeah Im honestly expecting an "Oh shit!" cliffhanger.

Its seriously fun though. If you love Halo then youll love Halo 4.
