We've finished the fight and can tell you all about it on Sunday at 8pm (GMT)

Sept 21, 2007

Microsoft's embargo for the Halo 3 reviews lifts around the world this Sunday, September 23, at 12:00 Noon Pacific. That's 3:00 PM on the US East Coast and 8:00 PM in the UK. We suggest you set a reminder on your phone so you don't forget to come back and see what we thought of the final chapter in the trilogy.

We're bound by a written agreement until noon on Sunday, so can't say anything until then. Don't worry about spoilers, though; we've made sure the review gives nothing away with regards to the story.

We'll have tons of action from the Halo launch all next week, plus the week after that. Check back for new and exclusive content every day and you won't be disappointed. Anyway, Sunday at noon - it's timed to go live and everything.
