Default Prime's Charles Battersby finally gets around to playing Halo 3 ODST to see if it's still relevant now that Halo Reach and Anniversary Edition are out.

Halo: Reach spoiled us all. We all thought Halo 3 was cutting edge when it became the first Halo game on a current-gen console, but it was really Halo: Reach that brought the franchise to the 360 in a proper fashion. Halo 3: ODST was intended to breach the gap between the two games, and it launched about a year before Reach. I didn’t have the slightest interest in playing some quickie side-story where I wasn’t controlling a cyborg Spartan killing machine. Why play a Halo game if you’re going to be some generic space marine? When ODST made its inevitable trip to the bargain bin I grabbed a copy but found that my shooting time was always occupied by more technologically-advanced games. Yet this bastard child of Bungie finally caught my attention, and I had to wonder if it had anything to offer in a post-Reach world.
