That was a great experience. The Arbitor, the Brutes, the Flood…I enjoyed every minute of it. Its been a day since I "finished the fight" and I’m still sitting here thinking about how much fun I had playing Halo 3. The funny thing is that I haven’t even finished Bioshock. When Halo 3 released and [...]
