Sequels can be dissappointing. Halo is one of those series in which every game is better than the previous one. If you are a fan of Halo 1 & 2, you'll love Halo 3. The reason I said it is not what I expected was because the flood played too much of a part in this game. The 'flood levels' were creepy and wierd, but thats just my opinion. In the Halo storyline, Earth is overpopulated, but in the game, Earth is a vast expanse of desert and jungle with a few structures here and there. It would have been great if there were more battles in cities.
Halo 3 is an excellent game. I definetly recommend it to everyone. Everything about it except for the flood is everything you would expect from the pinnacle of the Halo Trilogy.

NBA 09 for the PSP is a great game considering that it is a handheld game. The graphics are great, the gameplay is great, and the other game modes (such as 2 on 2 and Slam Dunk Contest) are great. There are only two problems with the game. One, it gets easy after a while, and two, when you pass the ball to a player, it takes a couple seconds for him to respond. Everything else in the game is all you can expect in a PSP game. It doesn't get boring after the first time like most other PSP games. It will keep you entertained for a long time.
What's great about it: Variety of game modes, FUN!!!!!!!!
