Neither of them did imo but no point arguing over it. Its in the past forget about it. Some people seem to think GTA is the greatest game ever made and some think Halo 3 is the best game ever made. Frankly i think super rubber ducky is the best game ever made :D but that doesn't mean its for realz.

@porky good review didn't read it just checked the review score. The online is the only thing that deserves a 10 imo

GTA is also on Ps3 so all fanboys can use the same game against each other.

Halo 3 - 640p running @ 30FPS, exclusive, flagship title for the 360. Way overhyped. Yeah, Halo 3 didn't deserve it. Timesplitters 2 is better.

to give the sony fanboys a chance to sling some more mud at the halo and the 360. a crap flamebait article, man it's shameless fanboyism on here nowadays. there's like two-a-day anti-microsoft/360 threads on here now. how many sony fanboys have approval rites i hace to ask?? sh!t even stories form alexM aka shadow hearts aka sammy_mantra get approved, whilst threads from people like glad to be a gamer dont...because they're to pro 360. but where else do i go for gamer news??? tell me so i can leave and never come back!

halo was ok, but cod4 is a better fps. he only hype that halo managed to almost live upto was the on-line portion! that's it though imo. no halo single player has matched the campaign in halo combat evolved.

gta has lived upto the hype, and i'm loving it on and off-line. amazing game.

But Halo 3 offers the best multiplayer experience out there. (Notice I didn't say online experience) I believe it lived up to the hype, at least in my opinion.

Graphic wise you have to play the game in standard definition for it to look good, on a high definition TV Halo 3 doesn't look so great. It's like when people said they saw no difference with SD DVDs to Blu-ray Discs. The only way to know the difference is if you upgrade your TV to a 1080p HD.

As for gameplay the core of it is exactly the same which isn't bad nor good. They just added new deploying / equipment weapons to change up things and called it a day; other wise people can misstaken it for Halo 2 because most of it was taken from that game.

The jump from Halo to Halo 2 was great but the jump to Halo 2 to Halo 3 wasn't so great. I consider Halo 2 the best out of the three.

lol, the video didn't change my mind I have the game and it isn't amazing. I'm not saying it sucks but it isn't as great as most people said it was. The faces on each character look ugly and when I say ugly I mean it. The Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson's face look terrible in the cinematics.

Don't get me wrong the features of the last game was great but the news one I don't use all that much. The replay feature doesn't work like you think, forge is just a level editor which just comes down to weapons and campaign. I was a Halo fanatic until Halo 3 was released and bought a PlayStation 3. If this is what exclusive deliver I would hate multiplatforms.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has better faces, BioShock looks better but faces look somewhat the same, Killzone 2 pre-alpha video gameplay looks better than Halo 3's final version gameplay.

What it does good in graphics:

1. shiny / metal surfaces
2. water looks decent not great (Uncharted / BioShock looks better)
3. lighting

Last but now least the story / plot is very similar to a book called "Ringworld" by Larry Niven. I was a Halo fanatic but now I'm not and never buying another one again. Halo Wars can start without me and I'm fine with that.

is there a huge difference between a 1080i and a full hd 1080p lcd? i already have a philips 1080i but my mate was considering buying the full hd model....considering we re talking about 32 inchers, is the full hd worth the extra bucks ?

Generally speaking if you were to compare 1080i (interlaced) with 1080p (progressive) you won't see a difference. Interlaced uses pixel by pixel to change the frame rate and progressive uses full images. In the end I say progressive can result to better and clearer images since the whole image comes at once.

So with interlaced screens a row of pixels will be changed that can mess up the focus. Like for example if someone is zooming in on something pixel by pixel the image is changing. With progressive it's the whole image changing at once resulting in clear images everytime.

In the end you won't be able to tell much difference but I prefer progressive. I choose progressive because full images come at you at a time instead of new rows of pixels.

Image Description:

This animation demonstrates the interline twitter effect. The two interlaced images use half the bandwidth of the progressive one. The interlaced scan (second from left) precisely duplicates the pixels of the progressive image (far left), but interlace causes details to twitter. Real interlaced video blurs such details to prevent twitter, as seen in the third image from the left, but such softening (or anti-aliasing) comes at the cost of resolution. A line doubler could never restore the third image to the full resolution of the progressive image. Note – Because the frame rate has been slowed down, you will notice additional flicker in simulated interlaced portions of this image (wikipedia).
