ODST1

Oh yeah, ODST is out! Why aren't you playing it? Why aren't I playing it??? Sad truth is my limited edition box with the ODST controller included (which I must stress I only bought because all my current controllers have a defect, honestly) has barely been looked at. In fact due to life commitments I haven't even loaded up the game, I only watched the downloadable video when you first boot it up!

Well someone played it on launch day, a lot of people, in fact according to Bungies player counter ODST amassed exactly 949,306 players who played over 5 million games in its first official 24 hour period. Wow. Pretty cool for an add on no? Safe to say Bungie can put another few floors on their offices with this one. And whats not to like? God among men Nathan Fillion providing voice acting, new weapons including the return of the magnum pistol from Halo CE, new modes, new gameplay, an invite to the Halo Reach Beta.

In fact why the hell am I sitting here typing about a game I own and haven't even bloody played yet? I'm out, see you on Live!
