If you go into any games shop you will be struck with how expensive Xbox 360 games are. Often, it is younger people whom buy these games which presents quite a considerable investment. Therefore, to protect these investments, it is worthwhile considering making backup copies of these games, especially as they are quite fragile and easily damaged.

Most games you buy have copy protection software embedded onto the disc, but people have founds ways of getting round this in order to make backup copies. this involves the use of Xbox 360 software copying programs. It normally requires four simple steps.

Do a search online and read a few reviews and articles about the different Xbox 360 game copying software programs available. Select one and download and install it onto your computer.

Next, place the original game disc in the CD or DVD drive and start up the copying program on your computer. The program will read the whole of the disc and will ask where you want to save it to. The location must be selected and then save the game. This step can take a little time depending on the size of the game to be downloaded. The game is now saved on the computer which can now be burned onto a blank disc. It is possible to create as many copies as you wish.

Around fifteen games journalists descended on the Microsoft offices in Prague on the 11th of September to get their first hands on the new HALO 3 ODST game. Fortunately, I was one of them and with HALO 3: ODST Review Party invite in hand I made my way there as well. They did do some other presentations including Forza 3 and Lips Number One Hits, but it was ODST that everyone came to see, and more importantly, to play.

From the word go, HALO 3 ODST is definitely a HALO title, regardless of whether or not the Master Chief ever shows up in the series. Sure, the game gives you a look at the universe from a slightly different point of view in that you will play as multiple characters. But in its heart it is still, truly HALO. In fact, this could be the most pivotal game in the HALO franchise history. Halo Wars expanded the gameplay to RTS, HALO 3 ODST will expand the story and depth of the universe.

[I:http://networksup.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ChristophorRick1.png]If you’re like me and you love a great story that acts as motivation for you to continue playing a game, then you’re in for a real treat, HALO fan or not. Humanity’s fight against the Covenant was never so three-dimensional as it is now.

The gameplay is that of the HALO FPS predecessors in that the environments are still mostly non-interactive, the weapons are mostly what you’ve already seen and yes, the Warthog returns. The familiarity that you will find in HALO 3: ODST will make you feel right at home as you grab the controller. I’ve also heard that this time we’ll get to drive a tank around the city in a mission, but I haven’t gotten there yet.

HALO 3 ODST branches the previously linear story that is the backbone of the universe. It gives new breath to the mythology and while gameplay does not stray far from the others, it’s definitely going to be worth the price.

HALO 3 ODST will have two discs will be packed together, a single player disc containing the campaign and firefight accompanied by a multiplayer disc stacked to the edges with maps, game modes and more. Over 20 maps and 9 main modes give a good start. Each mode also has 3-5 variations for a total of 35 ways to play with your friends including Slayer (deathmatch), Territories, King of the Hill, capture-the-flag, Oddball, Juggernaut, Infection (zombies!), Assault and VIP.

The well-rounded HALO 3: ODST offering will certainly bring value to the franchise and flesh out the HALO universe. It will certainly be worth the purchase price, maybe even for those who are not HALO fans. With the release date just around the corner (Sept. 22nd) the HALO franchise will once again shine in the heavens of the gaming greats.
