OMG Halo

That's right, you insatiable junkies. According to ex-Bungie staffer Frank O'Connor, 343 Industries has a plan for Halo that encompasses at least six years, with or without Bungie.

Halo 3: ODST sales in the United Kingdom have dropped by 75% and the game has fallen into third place in the sales charts, behind FIFA 10 and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (known in Europe as Professor Layton and Pandora's Box).

Halo players can compete in Gamestop's Halo 3: ODST  Melee in Manhattan tournament for a chance to walk away with five grand.

Microsoft has made a statement regarding the recent reportings of Halo 3: ODST issues, and they seem to be downplaying the problem a bit.

Multiple users are reporting having trouble playing Halo 3: ODST on their consoles, with the game either skipping or sometimes not reading at all.
 

Halo 3: ODST arrives this coming Tuesday. Are you ready? Check out this week's Bungie Watch to get sufficiently hyped.

A new line of Halo busts are on the way from One2One Collectibles. The first to be released is a Master Chief bust, followed by Spartan, Brute Chieftain, and ODST Marine busts sometime later this year.

While it's only been announced for PAL territories so far (sad face), a Halo Xbox 360 Elite bundle is on its way.

I love saying ViDoc. This ViDoc goes into the creative process behind Halo 3: ODST. ViDoc.
