In the latest episode of Bonus Round over on GameTrailers, Brian Jarrard of Bungie revealed that Halo 3: ODST has been completed since May. It could have been released at any point now, but it’s been held back in order for Microsoft to promote the game and in preparation to rape your coffers this holiday season.
Yet, doesn't it feel like the promotions started off late? The Halo 3: ODST truck started touring the country a couple of weeks ago and the amazing new new ad rolled out two weeks ago during PAX. It just seems a bit out considering Halo 3 was promoted like crazy for months before the game was released.
Speaking of Halo 3: ODST, look for our review on the game this Saturday.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Don't movies occasionally do this sorta thing too?
Makes sense... sell units and all that.
Personally I think this game looks really lame, though.
In before SexualChocolate.
Srsly tho, this game may be good and I will reserve judgement. UNTIL SATURDAY. That is when Judgement will come.
I just beat inFAMOUS.
So your parents are buying it for you?
Like it or not, Fanboyism sells games. If ODST VS MW2 VS AC2 fights will sell more copies than spreading them out.
