Would Gears Of War exist without Halo? Probably not.

hahaha!!

or not, that's totally out of context, he was talking about would Gears have hide and regen health tactics or health packs without Halo defining the regenrerative health. Would Gears have regen health without Halo? Probably not.

Microsoft goes all out to ensure you feel the Halo love when Reach hits.

Microsoft has planned a host of Halo activities on Xbox Live next week to mark the launch of Halo: Reach.

Should I buy this, or is this going to be the same old Halo that I got bored with two titles ago? Frankly I can't tell from any of the previews because the gaming journalists are all too busy giving Bungie a BJ to give any real information on the game.
Your mom!

Same old Halo I reckon only without some soft arse as the lead character.   :)

MS: Halo: Reach will outsell COD: Black Ops

Microsoft honestly believes that Halo: Reach will outsell Call of Duty: Black Ops this autumn.

"It's going to be a really good fight and yes I do [believe it]," Stephen McGill, Xbox UK boss, told Eurogamer at a Halo: Reach celebrity launch event last night. "We have huge expectations."

"More than 34 million people have bought [a Halo game] and those people are going to want to play Halo: Reach. We're going to do incredibly well."

"Halo was the stand-out title when we launched Xbox ten years ago," he added. "It was the title that made FPS on consoles an accessible, fun, life-changing experience."

The Halo: Reach review embargo lifts early on Sunday morning, and McGill expects "very good, very high, glowing reviews". He's seen "a few" magazine scores already and was apparently "very happy".

McGill was also confident about the future of Halo beyond Reach and beyond Bungie, claiming that the series is "in very good hands" and that there are "great plans" for it.

Last night's event featured a live Halo: Reach showdown between celebrities and gamers. The team of stars - footballer Rio Ferdinand, Gadget Show presenter Jason Bradbury, rugby player Ben Cohen, recording artist Mr Hudson and TV presenter Jameela Jamil - was, in McGill's words, "completely trounced".

Radio 1's DJ Reggie Yates hosted the match and branded Rio Ferdinand "officially rubbish at Halo".

Ordinary gamer Robert Daniel Brown was on the winning team. He told Eurogamer he'd had "the greatest night of my life", and put the victory down to "good teamwork and communication". "We totally thrashed the opposition," he said. His top tip for Halo: Reach multiplayer: "Use the Battle Rifle; it's the only gun that all of the professionals use."

Halo: Reach launches on Tuesday, 14th September.

Tesco are going to sell it for £28
There's a catch though - to get the game for that price you have to purchase a 2100 Microsoft Points card. Not sure how much the points are in store but a deal none the less
