Loved the campaign, even though it's a bit short. Also, it's dumb that I have to be logged in to Xbox live to play the campaign. Whatever. PVP mode is fun.

Halo 4 is finally here and it is Phenomenal! It achieves greatness in almost every way. In case you don't know what Halo 4 is, it's a science fiction...
