I love how they have to say "One of the" for fear of evil marketing enforcers... that's rich.

Great step for GH3... but I'm still salivating at the thought of four player ownage.

I don't know, I'm not the biggest Halo fan, I don't even know how the song goes, and I haven't bought my 360 yet
But of course, I will download it and play it

OMG! I downloaded the Demo for Guitar Hero III. HOLY SH**! This game is like crack! I had to make myself stop playing. I still have Pat Benetar's voice in my head, & Pearl Jams, Evenflow is hard as sh**!

The people that do the covers for Activision.

If that is a cover. That is one heck of a cover. It sounds just like her.

I hated what they did to the music in Halo 2. Halo 3 thankfully revived it.

The Halo theme is my absolute favourite song written for a video game. EVER. I'm glad to see its recognized.
