Halo 3: Recon (Microsoft)
In this Halo 3 offshoot, players control a completely different character (yes, you don't play as Master Chief) as he fights his own war against the Covenant. Not much is known at this point about Recon, but it should be a fun add-on for first-person shooting fans.
Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
This fall, Halo 3 explodes on Xbox 360, delivering a pulse pounding experience fans have come to expect from the critically acclaimed franchise. The all new single player adventure continues Master Chief's fight against the Flood and Covenant, while the multiplayer modes promise to suck away countless hours.
