Well, get used to sequelitis, though. The game broke every record in sales in one day. Until a ambitious game does that, get used to repeats. That said, I do enjoy Halo 3. It isn't the best at any one thing it offers but the overall package is so nicely put together and its co-op and multiplayer so fun, it is hard to fault it. It makes playing games with friends much easier than most games. For example, I like campaign mode. I like it even better than a friend of mine can jump in and help me out, play for a while and jump out again. Yes, Gears did this, too, but Halo 3 does it better. Its matchmaking is still tops, too. No one had done as good as job as Halo 2 had since the 360 came out until now.

That kind of connectivity is why the game is so addicting. Bioshock is a better FPS storyline. Rainbow Six Vegas has better FPS mechanics, if you ask me. Gears of War had better graphics. But the Halo 3 package is a great deal overall, though.

Now, Half Life Orange Box might change all that, though. If TF2 is as good as the original and the HL2 games are a top notch as I heard they were a few years ago, well, we might have a new addiction.
