We want your HALO 3 screenshots here. Add yours.
The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.
I'm creating this thread to keep up with Mass Effect info. I'm highly anticipating this game, and I'd like to get you guys interested in it, too. The story and the setting have me on the edge of my seat. It doesn't hurt that Bioware also made Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire.

Short Story Description
The galaxy is trapped in an endless cycle of extinction. Every 50,000 years, an ancient machine race invades the galaxy. With ruthless efficiency, the machines wipe out all advanced organic civilization. They leave behind only the scattered ruins of technology, destroying all evidence of their own existence. Few believe this ancient legend. You, however, know it to be true. The fight to stop this extinction event has become the most important mission in the galaxy. More at the Official Website.

Check out some year-old gameplay footage that is still impressive.
This book is the prequel to the game. It's better than Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. It introduces you to the characters, the world, the tense political relations between the species, and has a lot of action thrown into the mix. I soaked up every word, and I recommend it to everyone. Here's a synopsis:
In MASS EFFECT: REVELATION, commander and Alliance war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station; smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can't trust and pursued by an assassin he can't escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy.

I hope this makes some more
I hope this makes some more Thexers interested in Mass Effect! It's the book that really hooked me...
The book is really awesome.
The book is really awesome. I finished it, and I liked it better than the newest Halo book. I think it's definitely worth reading, even if you're not interested in the Mass Effect universe. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to let you borrow it.
I've been watching this game
I've been watching this game for awhile. I think it's going to be pretty good I just wish they'd give us a smaller window as to when they're planning on releasing it. Torr3nt/Nutsack and I bought and read the book a couple weeks ago it was really good. Like with the Halo books I couldn't stop reading it, so I finished it the day after I bought it. So if anyone wants to borrow it and wants to come by my house and pick it up feel free.
Yeah, I honestly didn't
Yeah, I honestly didn't expect much from the book, but once I started reading it I couldn't stop.
