    During Microsoft's Pre-E3 press briefing Bungie's Joe Staten took to the stage and dropped gamers into the first gameplay footage of Halo 3: ODST. In the game players will take on the role of a rookie Orbital Drop Shock Trooper weeks before the events in Halo 3. As part of the single-player campaign expansion, Halo 3: ODST features a greater mystery, as 'The Rookie' attempts to uncover the truth about his fellow hell jumpers. The game features new silenced weapons, a visor -- enabling a 'low-light vision mode' used to point out crucial information -- and a handgun original (Halo) gangsters are sure to 'love,' said Staten. Prepare to drop ($59.99 or more) later this year. %Gallery-64703%

    Yesterday, during Microsoft's Pre-E3 press briefing, Infinity Ward took to the stage to show off Modern Warfare 2 in action. Strangely, the action packed demo began with a section of gameplay that seemed to encourage players to ignore adversaries using the (barely visible) world around them as cover. However, as expected, all hell breaks loose and waves of enemies flood the snowcapped landscape. The live stage demo was enough to send the crowd into a hysterical panic of excitement and people actually cheered for downloadable content. Cheering future DLC for a game that isn't hitting stores for months? Yeah, that happened.
