Yep - I bought one the other day. Everybody who knows me - knows that I am a die-hard Sony fan - so everybody who knows me are simply quite perplexed that I got myself an XBOX. But all of that is a different story.

For now - it’s my (albeit short) experience with the XBOX that has really had its effect on me. No - I’ll take that back - it’s not the XBOX per se - it’s a game that came in the box with the XBOX it that I’m leading to - a game called HALO.

Now - perhaps I have been missing something over the last few years - but my only experience with “advanced” computer games is with the original Playstation - or PSONE - and Gran Turismo. To many - I have probably made a huge leap from PSONE to XBOX - and that is what has probably knocked me out about HALO - what a game!

The last time a TV screen got me sitting on the edge of my seat and feeling like I wanted to go out a be a hero afterwards was watching Keanu Reeves in a film called Speed a few years ago. This time it’s XBOX and HALO. I cannot describe the effect - I can only suggest that everybody try this game on an XBOX - it is an education in just how far computer games technology has progressed!

“She’s so pretty
Her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess”.
a really nice part of a really nice song called Halo by a band called Texas.
