ODST - Prepare to Drop

I have been playing Halo 3 ODST for the past week. By some amazing luck, I actually had time to pick it up last Tuesday during my lunch hour from FunZ Centre @ Orchard Central. As part of a pre-order deal with BoB forums, I got a FunZ membership card for free. How nice. I was actually thinking of properly applying for one. haha.


Omg, Chinese text.

The pre-order came with a bonus DLC and a skin (which I am still wondering whether I should appy to my console).

The game is a side story to Halo 3. The campaign is a tad short but the game's Firefight mode and repackaged Halo 3 multiplaer disc makes it a very good value for money.

One thing that really stood out to me was the music during the night city sections. It's beautiful and fits the mood very well. Bungie even mentioned during their weekly update that one listener was moved to tears by the soundtrack. Who says FPS are all about mindless violence?
