Tonight I went to midnight madness at the Redmond Town Center EBX store. They started letting people in at midnight, after, of course, inciting the crowd to a bit of a frenzy with free promotions (bags, hats, etc.). At around 1am I had in my hands a silver cased copy of Halo 2. I had played some of the beta/alphas, so I had some idea of what to expect. I got home and started playing.

Unfortunately I don't have the stamina that I used to, and I need to get some sleep. I have tomorrow off from work. I thought I might head in for a few hours in the morning... that isn't going to happen.

This game kicks ass.

 I haven't even started multiplayer yet (looks like Live! might have been a bit busy tonight). After 2.5 hours of playing, I'm having a blast. Tomorrow I've got around 8 people coming over to the house for a little multiplayer bash... should be awesome!
