hear the new song on the blog? Thats Hysteria by Muse. And I'm halfway to learning it ;) My electric guitar teacher thinks we're advacned enough to play this amazingly awesome piece of music. I'm really starting to like Muse actually. They were also the culprits responsible for SuperMassive Black Hole, the song that played during the Twilight Baseball scene. So all you Edward/(whatsherfrigginname) bitches should pretty well know.

I really feel like being videogame geeky today so thats what I shall do. First off lets start with Halo: ODST the highly awaited Halo3 standalone game.

Basically, ODST, initially named Recon, takes place just after Halo 2 where Master Cheif -117 raids New Mombasa City. After he leaves, the ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) are employed to clear up his mess. Little do they know that the Covenant had decided to send reinforcements and without the Cheif, how were they gonna survive endless hoards of alien juggernauts? Fight la! So basically this is the story of the untold heroes behind the scenes, the ODSTs.

Teamwork and cooperation is really the key to this standalone game. being ODSTs, after all they are still human. I like to think that the ODSTs would be the SWAT equivalant to HALO. and definitely teamwork is essential to a SWAT team or they all die a horrible, horrible ... horrible death.

As quoted by Legendary-acheiver Shao Xuan: " So cool sia, 4-player Co-op ".

By the way thats us at the Singapore Toys Game and Comics Con with Master Cheif! One of the high points of the day. Standing next to a Spartan.

Thats right, a new member of the Halo Family, ODST brings in a new mode called Firefight, which is the Halo answer to Gears of Wars' Horde. Firefight allows 4 players to team up as ODST and as God would have it, the team faces wave after wave of enemy Covenant. so the point to this new mode is to finish as many waves as you can within a limit of 7 lives. Shared by the entire team.

Sounds too difficult ? additionally, after every 5 waves , a Skull will be unlocked. Not in a good way like " Oh I've just unlocked new hairstyles for my Bratz character " or " Cool, I've just unlocked my hidden potential in DotA ". When you unlock a skull, Covenant do very bad things to you. For example, one skull called Catch, causes enemy Covenant to throw more grenades then they usually would. Pfft, "more" is a fucking understatement. another one called Tough Luck, increases the enemy's evasion. So ... Tough Luck !

I'm soooooo impressed by this game. It would be a SIN in my book not to buy this game. I expect it to cause as much as a single Halo Xbox 360 game, but it's worth it. really. I can imagine 4 of us sitting together and kicking Covenant backside ... and not just kicking. More like damaging thier arseholes so badly they can never again take a shit in their life. That ... people ... is something I would really enjoy.

So thats my take on Halo 3 ODST.
