The Halo 3 media machine is really cranking up now with the hours ticking away to the US launch – to be followed on Wednesday midnight here.

News just in is that pre-orders in the US for Halo 3 have topped 1.5 million, making it just about the biggest thing since gaming began - at least for Xbox folk. Without a doubt, it’s certainly looking like the game that will ensure some badly needed extra sales of the Xbox 360 abroad. Argos was so excited by the whole thing it inadvertently started flogging the game a week early.

10,000 US retailers will be opening at midnight to cater for the rabid horde looking for one of three versions: standard edition , limited edition and legendary edition. But is it any good?

I’ll have a list of the best early reviews so far so check back soon.-Martin Lynch
