The "Halo" franchise has spawned an uprising of followers in its reign on both the Xbox, with "Halo" and "Halo 2" proving megamoths of the FPS genre and defining multi-player shooters forever; and the Xbox 360, which has already seen the amazing end to the FPS trilogy, "Halo 3", sell millions of copies, a great expansion to the storyline (and the addition of Firefight) in "Halo 3: ODST" and even a real-time-strategy title in the form of "Halo Wars". Now, Bungie are returning for their final entry in the series, "Halo: Reach", which focuses on just how the Spartan-IIs and IIIs were eliminated by the Covenant on the planet Reach moments before the original "Halo" opened and Master Chief began his journey into space. Full details of "Reach"'s plot are scarce right now, but Bungie have assured us that the new squad of Spartans will be great characters to play as, that we will see battles of a huge war-based magnitude never seen before in "Halo", and that ultimately the rag-tag squadron will head into space above Reach in order to secure the Chief's freedom. Sadly, as the trailers state, "From the beginning, you know the end". This will be a tale of sorrow, loss and destruction right to its climax, and you'll be living through those emotions on Reach this September 14th. And if that isn't enough, the multi-player modes such as Conquer The Flag and Firefight that we know and love will return on one all-encompassing disc. Get ready to reach for the stars this autumn (couldn't resist!)
