Halo 3: The Hype Machine

Finally it came to and end. Halo 3 released to all XBOX 360 owners across the world, players who were waiting to Finish The Fight. First of, let me say this: the Halo franchise is immensely overrated, yes its funand you have a blast when playing multiplayer but c'mon there are far better First Person Shooters on the market. what i'll give halo is the fact that it made console FPS popular, a genre that most of the time failed due to the fact that the controls just plain sucked (except Goldeneye and Perfect Dark).
Bungie nailed the FPS controls on the XBOX controllers which is why it is widely accepted and popular, the controller below:

but i digress... and this is not my main rant about halo.
I hate the damn marketing campaign, its very irritating when everywhere you go you see Master Chief's face on everything, and the slogan "Finish The Fight"
examples below:

Legendary Edition of Halo 3
Retail Price: $129.99


XBOX 360 Halo Edition
Retail Price: $399.99

while i can live with themed systems and legendary editions... the next is plain unforgiving:

then I wen to a burger king ordered to go... and guess what did the bag have... yes you guessed right Halo 3 advertising featuring master chief, afterwards i go to a 7-11 i go to where the slurpee cups are and guess what... YES ANOTHER HALO 3 SLURPEE CUP WITH HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGES LEIK ZOMG!>!?2?

sigh... and don't get me started with the reviews, thats a whole other blog post.
I know there's more merchandise and I would post it but im tired of it, I'm just glad the game released and everything should be over... or will it be only time will tell
