ODST Campaign Opening from Gamersyde
Gamersyde released a 15-minute ODST presentation that they recorded at Gamerscom last week - it's filmed off the screen, but the HD downloads are quite watchable. It shows off the first cutscene from the game (if you've been watching ODST release info obsessively, you've already seen this, but it's nice that it's all in one place, and viewed at a nice resolution), and looks at a some of the early campaign gameplay. Again, all of the areas covered by this film have been seen in other show presentations, starting with E3 - but the comments from CJ Cowan and Brian Jarrard contain lots of interesting tidbits you might not know (cutscenes are rendered in real time, as you play, so that lip-synching by the characters matches up regardless of language - nice!). Use BitTorrent, if you can, for the downloads - it's the nicest option for the Gamersyde guys. Thanks to NeoGAF's Major Williams for the heads-up on this. (Louis Wu 14:32:45 UTC) (permalink) 
Get serious respect.
Looks like Gamestop made a fun little Halo 3: ODST commercial, highlighting Johnson's inclusion. Check it out on YouTube! Thanks again, Kibbles. (Louis Wu 14:30:14 UTC) (permalink)

ODST On The Road - First-Day Impressions
Lots of people were at Redmond's Gamestop yesterday to play them some sweet, sweet ODST Firefight. One guy filmed the experience (almost all outside the truck) and grabbed a clip of Joe Staten doing the Grunt voice - thanks to Kibbles for the heads-up on these. Also, kanbo stopped in to our forum with his own writeup of the day - sounds like it was a lot of fun! If you're thinking about catching the truck on one of its other stops in the next month or so, these impressions should give you an idea about what you're in for. (Louis Wu 14:15:12 UTC) (permalink)
