Halo: Reach
Earlier this month, those who purchased Halo 3: ODST were treated to early access to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta. Lindsey and I were lucky enough to participate in the multi-player beta, and came away from it with differing opinions. Briefly, she hates it, and I have mixed feelings about it.
