With Grand Theft Auto going multiplatform and Sony pumping the brakes on Gran Turismo, Halo 3 is unquestionably 2007's biggest exclusive gun. It's the sequel to the Xbox 1 game that made more money in a day than blockbuster movies make in a weekend. It's the final act in Bungie's 'epic trilogy.' The developers have likened it to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Forge maps are great for private matches with friends, making up your own game modes, and experimenting with wacky ideas. In the new Forge mode, players can also create custom multiplayer maps, expressing their creativity with a bounty of useful map-making tools. There's a decent variety of match-types, including classic Deathmatch variants, objective modes like Capture the Flag, and more. This exciting FPS gameplay translates well into Halo 3's multiplayer modes, which can be enjoyed both online and locally.

You can set up a protective bubble shield, place explosive trip mines, pop out an anti-gravity lift, and more.

Halo 3 also introduces equipment items, which are handy one-time-use abilities. Human guns range from shotguns and pistols to snipers and assault rifles, while the alien weaponry gets a bit more experimental. There's a wide variety of weapons to wield, including both human and alien guns. Over the course of the main campaign's 10 levels, you'll drive tanks, fight in space, and participate in giant battles. Halo 3 continues the series trend of offering exhilarating, futuristic combat on a huge scale. While it might be a bit convoluted for some, sci-fi fans will surely appreciate this epic tale of intergalactic war. Although it's straightforward in its presentation, Halo 3 has a dense and intriguing narrative with plenty of lore to learn. After the events of the first two Halo games, Master Chief saddles up with a few ex-Covenant officers and aims to take down the leaders of the Covenant before they destroy Earth.

Following a religious prophecy, the Covenant plans to activate a series of weaponized rings known as Halos, which eradicate all organic lifeforms in a set solar-system. Taking place in the distant future, Master Chief must save Earth from total destruction after a religious pact of aliens known as the Covenant invades the planet. In Halo 3's main story campaign, players control Master Chief, a super-soldier in the United Nations Space Command military.
