I bought Crackdown tonight (fun game in its own right), and it came with an invitation to join the Halo 3 Multiplayer beta. I played a couple of round of team slayer, and, while I generally suck, it's still fun to play.
Most of the weapons were the same, although I noticed some different grenades, but because I was on the receiving side of them, I'm not really sure what they do. Valhalla, similar to Blood Gulch, is my favorite map so far. Each base has a man cannon that blasts you across the map to join the fray easier.
Visually, it's definitely next-gen. It's one of those "so beautiful you don't notice" kinda feels, like you're watching cinematics instead of playing a video game.
Halo 3 releases at the end of the year. I never owned an Xbox, so my exposure to the Halo franchise was limited to mooching off of friends. I'm not very good, but it's a very engaging game that I can envision taking away loads of my time.

You may as well be speaking a foreign language for all that I understood of that! I'm glad you have your video games though...you'll need them as stress relief when that 2nd baby gets here! :-)
