Jedi at Xbox365 managed to pull himself away from his new Xbox long enough to write a piece on how much fun he's having with his new toy now that's he's got it. And a lot of that fun is courtesy of Bungie's Halo:
What can I say about Halo that hasn't already been said. As much as this game was hyped i can tell you that it lives up to it all. I have reached level four and have enjoyed every moment. I am already thinking about how much fun it will be to start over from the beginning. I have never played a game any better than this one. It is graphically so incredible. You really get the feel you are in another world. I catch myself making my character look up at the sky alot because it is simply so life like. You can see the moon and the stars and watch spaceships flying around. This is a must own game. Anybody who loves playing video games on a console system owes it to themselves to play this one. The Jedi ranks it as the best home video game he has ever played. Halo takes us gamers to the next level. It shows us that the Xbox can take our television sets and turn them into a high-perfomance arcade machine. It's simply that good folks.
Jedi also notes that most places out his way only had units for preorders, and wouldn't be putting any up for sale to the general public for awhile.
