Halo 3 is now news for nerds and stuff that matters:

Does it meet expectations? In a word: yes. It's not the best game ever made, and it may not even be the best game this year. Will it make the fans happy, and deservedly sell thousands of Xbox 360s? Very much yes.

Slashdot gives Halo 3 four out of five points. Also, I think they like Yes. Who doesn't like Yes?
