Number One Son came into some money over the weekend and begged me to take him to GameStop after school on Monday, where he traded said cash for the latest in the Halo saga.
So far, it's an excellent game, game play being very much like Halo 3 with the obvious exception that the player is no longer a Spartan with powered armor, but an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, and as such much more susceptible to hits. The storyline is a little more complex - a lot of flashbacks rather than a straight line, but it's very interesting, made even more so since some of the voice actors portraying characters will be very familiar to those of you who are Firefly fans. Number One Son, however, is much more interested in completing the "vidmaster" achievements within the game to unlock the "Recon" armor in XBOX Live game play, which up till now was pretty much limited to employees of Bungie (the creators of Halo).
Of course, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying the game as much as him - at least when I've had the opportunity to play - it's been quite a busy week thus far...

As a general rule, I try to avoid buying brand-spanking new games, simply because they tend to be stupidly overpriced... However, I have been hearing nothing but good things about ODST, and I have not had a new, decent FPS in a while... hm...
I know what you mean about videogame prices, but I think the amount of fun my kids and I get out of them is worth the cost in a few instances - Halo definitely being one of them. That game is pretty much the sole reason I bought an XBOX, and Halo 3 an XBOX 360...
