Episode 56:

Drop, Shock and Roll

Runtime: 86 Minutes

We look back at Halo 3: ODST, released for the Xbox 360 on September 22, 2009. We trace its origins back to a failed partnership between Microsoft and Peter Jackson of LotR fame. After discussing the cancelled Halo Chronicles from which it came, we talk about the game itself, and what sets it apart from other Halo titles. Finally, we'll chime in our own opinions on the lasting debate: stand-alone game or expensive DLC? Join us as we drop into another trip down Memory Card Lane.
