OK. So I'm only joking. But you know it's every guy's dream but being married means shelving the possibility! LOL But I can still pretend! Plus I've got the graphic to prove it! This 360 Achievement graphic can also be yours if you head on over to:

Did I Mention I Like Halo... a-bloody-lot!

At the risk of hearing a collective groan from readers thinking "oh no not another Halo fan boy" I have to state that besides Street Fighter 2 and... maybe Doom I can't think of a game that captivated folks in a genre previously looked over. Halo 1 first captured me in it's detail. First game I played to fully utilise the 5.1 surround system I invested so much time and money into at the time. So diverse in weapons and vehicles that mismatches were not usually a problem. It was the game that encouraged most of my mates to get an Xbox so we could indulge in LAN parties for the first time. But the real clincher was to come in the form of it's sequel. The solo story is pretty lame. To date I am embarrassed to say I am yet to finish it! This is because my same said mates have all now gotten hooked on Xbox Live! I'm talking about guys who use to write video gaming off as nerdy. These same guys are now pre-occupied with headsets and flaming each other verbally in real time online. One guy even got an internet connection JUST for the Xbox (still is yet to invest in a PC!).

It's not to say that Bungie haven't got faults with the games. Heck there's a ton of stuff wrong with Halo 1 & 2. It's just that the games in their current form are so damn painfully fun to play that you just are forced to forgive Bungie on the lame complaints we have on the titles!

Can't wait for H3 and hope that:

a) The achievements are decent enough to not simply walk through

b) That the Live Camera is used to wreak havoc in the after game wrap ups!
