OXCGN's Alex Baldwin does the first of several Halo ODST reviews from OXCGN. Alex does his bit going through the Campaign Mode in Single Player. The Co-Op and Multiplayer aspects will come in separate reviews, as many do prefer one mode over the other, so OXCGN have done it "a little bit different" this time round.

Slip over and check it out, plus some great pics and even artwork.

Rewinding several years many people were excited by the prospect of Halo: Chronicles, the ill-fated Peter Jackson project to be developed in conjunction with the Halo film.

After funding fell through for the movie, it’s widely known the production team weren’t prepared to just part ways and pretend it never happened; instead the team moved onto making District 9 which was released recently to critical acclaim.

What isn’t commonly known is that Halo: Chronicles was put in an identical situation. With Halo: Reach under development since Halo 3, when Chronicles was dropped alongside the film what was there to do for a full team in Bungie that wasn’t needed yet in Reach’s development but about a year and a half free time? Why, make a spin-off of course!
