Halo 3 wasn't Bungie's last Halo adventure -- the developer still had a hand in creating Halo ODST, and Halo Reach. But it certainly felt like a last hurrah: it'd mark series' debut on the Xbox 360, but also the last time we'd see the Master Chief in action for 5 years. All of the lessons honed in Halo 2 were on full display here, and you'd be hard pressed to find a console first-person shooter that was as dominant on the competitive multiplayer scene. It was evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, but still an impressive step forward for the series, and the FPS genre.
The graphics were leagues ahead of its predecessors, and epic soundscape (with support for 5.1 surround sound) made for an engrossing experience. And then there were the subtle touches: for a good time, try playing the game on different difficulty levels and listening in on the banter between the celebrity guest stars who played assorted army grunts.
