UConn classics professor Roger Travis reviewed Halo 3 for the Hartford Courant. Strangely enough, unlike the Internet pundits who find Halo 3's story lacking, he finds unexpected depth:

Through the stories of old, and Halo, the young men are transported into a world of heroic myth, where warriors fight more fearlessly than real warriors could ever fight, and quarrel with one another, and laugh, and even cry sometimes. The warriors deliberate, suffer, make choices and enjoy those choices' consequences. For the young men, the gamer and the ancient herdsman, these heroes live.

Hey, prof... how about putting Halo in the classics curriculum? Just kidding.
