^lol @ Halo 3 daily stats. Facts are facts...

People have not found a way to troll around facts yet...but im sure someone is working on it.

Since you haven't played either game yet all the figures your saying you pulled straight out of your ass. The play times I used came straight from IGN, if you don't believe me go look at the video review for Uncharted 2 and you can see he very clearly states the play through at 10 hours. For ODST I challenge you to go into the game on Legendary, find all the audio logs and beat it in under 6 hours. Again the 6 hour play through as cited by many websites is on normal or heroic, of course it will be less than that on easy and more on legendary.

The only thing thats a leap ahead in Uncharted 2 over ODST is graphics. Please tell me what other features Uncharted 2 has that make it far more advanced than ODST?

Again lets go through all the content on ODST; completely original campaign at around 6 hours that can be replayed with up to 4 player co-op, firefight on 8 different maps with different day settings, Halo 3 multiplayer with every map ever released as well as 3 completely new maps, Halo Reach beta and the ability to unlock the most coveted armor in the game by attaining a number of high difficulty achievements. That may not be worth 60 dollars to you but for me and many others its a first day purchase.

Looks like people aren't happy that ODST has not received the metacritic AAA status award.

Could also be said that many people are happy.

Ummm, Insomniac says hi. They do it year after year.

Bungie obviously did an amazing job on this title and the average review score is going to show that. Even if I personally don't think it's worth the money and even a little underhanded of them to double the price without doubling the content, for me I am so anxious to get a copy in from gamefly. I'm loving the mood of this game. like one of the reviews said, it seems like they were influenced in one way or another by Bioshock, which to me only means really, really good things. As far as campeign, this game looks SO much better then Halo 3, I thought Halo 3 had a mediocre campaign but it looks like Bungie really justified things with this release. With an actual sequal coming next year, I'm hoping they only continue to improve apon the halo 3 base.

I can't say that I really expected it to achieve AAA...it is built off the same Halo 3 engine.  I don't want to call it an expansion, but i still think M$ should have launched this title for $49.99.  They might have sold better, and would have likely resulted in a better perception about the game.  Even if M$ didn't want to set a price-precedence, they could have offered gamers a discount like Toys R Us is doing. 

Except the Italian site Multiplayer.it in the list from OP gave ODST a 92 on Metacritic.

Blows a pretty large hole in your "Playstation is popular in Italy, so reviewers in that country must be biased against Halo!!!" damage control...

I dont really care how it compares to other titles, its a bungie halo game, if you like halo its a no-brainer!

What i find interesting is this AA or AAA talk about scores - that has nothing to do with scores or metacritic rating. AA or AAA refers to the budget of the project, not scores. Get your facts straight.

If you guys need Firefight Buddies over the coming weeks add me: The King Bading.

I used cheap shipping from Amazon for Halo ODST though, so it could be awhile. But when I get my copy your welcome to join me. Key words: When I get my copy.

no matter the reviews a 3 million seller, but i would have predicted it atleast 90
