“Halo 3: ODST” Releases Worldwide, Marking Bold New Chapter for Critically Acclaimed “Halo” Franchise.
The latest addition to the blockbuster Xbox 360 series delights fans and critics alike with a gripping new story and riveting cooperative multiplayer gameplay
The wait is finally over. Today, a new chapter in the legendary “Halo” saga opens up with the highly anticipated launch of “Halo 3: ODST.” After finishing the fight with Master Chief in “Halo 3,” players now have the opportunity to take a step back in time and experience the “Halo” universe from a whole new perspective.
Last night, more than 7,000 retail stores in the United States and a host of retailers in other countries opened their doors at midnight to usher in a flood of fans who sought to be the first to play the critically acclaimed title. Launch festivities were capped off with a “Halo” franchise celebration at the Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, where Bungie and 343 Industries luminaries were on hand to meet and greet fans and celebrate the launch together.
Xbox 360 exclusive “Halo 3: ODST” is already winning critical acclaim from the nation’s top media outlets. Here’s what they are saying about the game:
“The best Halo game yet,” and “An action-packed thrill ride from start to finish.”
--Game Pro
“It's part Blade Runner, part Saving Private Ryan, and yet in the end it's still definitely Halo.”
--1UP.com
“ODST is simply an excellent game.”
--G4TV’s X-Play
With “Halo 3: ODST,” developer Bungie takes the “Halo” franchise into all new territory. Players are put in the boots of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, some of the toughest and bravest soldiers of the UNSC. Players must search for clues to find out what happened to their squad when a drop into the city of New Mombosa goes wrong, and discover the secret behind the Covenant’s interest in the city.
In addition to a full-fledged campaign, “Halo 3: ODST” introduces Firefight, a new cooperative multiplayer mode where up to four players battle waves of unrelenting Covenant onslaughts. The game also introduces three new “Halo 3” competitive multiplayer maps and contains the complete, standalone “Halo 3” multiplayer experience on a second disc. “Halo 3: ODST” will also act as a key to entry into the “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta at a later date.
The “Halo” franchise is an award-winning collection of properties that have grown into a global entertainment phenomenon. Beginning with the original “Halo: Combat Evolved” for Xbox in 2001, the rich fiction of the franchise has since inspired a series of blockbuster Xbox and Xbox 360 video games, New York Times best-selling novels, comic books, action figures, apparel and more.
Published by Microsoft Game Studios, the “Halo” franchise of games is exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and the games are optimized for the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network. To date, more than 27 million copies of “Halo” games have been sold worldwide, driving more than 2 billion hours of gameplay by people connected to Xbox LIVE.

360-HQ Gamer "HQ GAMExxOVER" has completed a prestige level up by only using the knife on cod5. Check out more info and Detailed stats below....
Done on Xbox360, using only a Knife, not a shot fired, no dogs or artillery, no nades of any kind. Just run'in and slicing, See the video..
More info...
1. I did the prestige over about a 2 week period
2. I stated I called in a few artillery, this was just to clear the kill streak spot as I would use radar once in a while, I would pull up the artillery and drop it far off the map so as not to get any kills.
3. You will see in the stats I have turret Hunter, this was done 4 times by running up along side a tank with a gunner, jumping up and stabbing him, also when a guy jumps out of a tank and you kill him, he is still considered a turret gunner even though he is no longer in the tank.
4. You will see I have about 1 mile put on the tank on the road trip challenge, I did use the tank a few times on large maps but just as transportation to get past a sniper, I never fired a shot in the tank or turret and was careful not to run anyone over.
5. Web stats for Knife...
I was a bit disappointed to find that the web stats to not record knife use! they keep track of how many kills you get by hitting someone with a gas grenade, statistics on every weapon and a bunch of other stats but nothing on knife, I hope they change this in the future, maybe have a unlockable GOLD KNIFE for like 5,000 Knife kills.
6. Camping..
I never camped, If I did I would still be doing the challenge. The only time I would sit still is if I was taking a headquarters or protecting a headquarters. The most effective way to knife is to keep moving, stay alert for any enemy movement around you, when you see someone just start running for them, regardless if they are looking right at you, far away or if they are in the open and in a gun battle, you can not be concerned about dying, you just have to go for it.
I think its a safe bet that Call Of Duty MW2 has gone beyond the call of duty when it comes to special editions but just like Jell-O there is always room for more and to highlight that point you can now check out the Veteran Set and all it has to offer.

Get yours before they're all gone – Preorder for Xbox 360 and PS3 today!
We are pleased to let you know that WET is now available at retail stores across North America for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Combining acrobatics, shooting and sword play, WET gives you the freedom to use dual pistols or your samurai sword as you take on countless enemies in a number of exotic locations around the globe.
Developed at Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M), "WET" throws players into a heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping adventure of double crosses and paybacks in which they’ll take on the role of problem fixer, Rubi Malone. A gun-for-hire, Rubi agrees to fix a wealthy man’s problem by finding and bringing back his wayward son. She thinks the job is going to be cut and dry. She thought wrong.
Your mission to find the man that left you for dead will have you encountering innumerable adversaries in a variety of settings. Throughout the various cities you’ll visit – from London to Hong Kong – you’ll find yourself in spacious arenas where you will master shooting and sword play while dramatically jumping, flipping off of poles or your opponents, running on walls and sliding down ladders. Additional levels include car-hopping, Boneyard Challenges and ‘Rage Mode’, all of which add to the intense nature of this incredibly fast-paced shooter.
Featuring top-notch voice over performances from Eliza Dushku (as Rubi Malone), Malcolm McDowell (as crime lord Rupert Pelham) and Alan Cumming (as villain Christopher Sorrell) , "WET" offers up a perfect mix of violence and humor set against a stellar soundtrack and original score, both of which capture the game’s cool, retro-70s grindhouse vibe.
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced the release date and new screenshots from the highly anticipated downloadable game Zombie Apocalypse.
Coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on September 23 and the PlayStation®Network on September 24, Zombie Apocalypse drops players in an epic battle between the dead and the living!
Equipped with ample artillery, players' dual analog stick shooting skills will be put to the test in the thrilling arcade style shooter. As gamers set forth on their mission to conquer zombies, they can choose from up to 11 diverse weapons including assault rifles, flamethrowers and teddy bears filled with C4 explosives. A chainsaw is also available to players who want an up close and personal encounter with the roaming dead. Savvy players can also take advantage of their surroundings as they utilize environmental hazards to destroy massive hordes of zombies.
Players navigate through seven environments and fight their way through 55 days of zombie attacks without becoming a brainless zombie. Should they succeed, they will be rewarded with seven challenging game modes that will enable them to re-live the apocalypse all over again. As an added bonus, gamers do not have to face the evil masses alone as multiplayer capabilities allow up to four shooters to take on the zombie confrontation locally or co-operatively online.
