Next Tuesday, the 25th will be most likely the biggest day in entertainment history. Halo 3 is coming out for the Xbox 360....and is expected to generate around $200 million dollars in a 24 hour period. Wal-mart is setting up Halo 3 only check out stands to handle the volume.
For folks who aren't in the know. The original Halo came out around the time the original Xbox came around, and it was like nothing ever seen before. A true triumph in the medium, and became the 'killer app', or the reason people bought the Xbox.
Halo 2 came out a few years later, and ushered in the era of online gaming. This was the first title to bring people online with their xboxs in droves. To this day, it's one of the top online games of all time.
So the hype is huge for Halo 3. It's on a bigger system, and if it delivers, it will be a water shed moment in the history of video games. It should also lead the Xbox 360 to huge sales of its system.
I will be buying it Monday night at 12midnight, and will chronicle my thoughts on the most anticipated game in the history of the medium.

Wow! You know I have not been into the video game scene lately, but jeez this sure makes me want to dive head first back into it. Watching the trailers gave me chills.
I can't wait for it. I'll do an hour by hour blog on the fun of the game. The great thing is, like Gears of War, the campaign, and online should both be great.
