Halo: Reach Beta Goes Live

Still holding onto that copy of Halo: ODST in the hope that it might offer something half decent to play?  Well, sarcasm aside, that moment has come: your free beta access to Halo: Reach is now live.

Simply pop in ODST and navigate to the Halo: Reach beta option, which will start the download (it’s nearly 2GB, so you’d be better getting in there now before the masses start to converge) – if you want to know what the beta is like, our Kris has been playing it all weekend:

“Halo fans are going to get what they want, and it’s beyond what I’d expected, but it’s not going to change the industry in the same way that Halo: Combat Evolved or newer games like Uncharted 2 did,” said Kris.

“Maybe the single player will change my opinion that and something incredible will come to the forefront, so far I’d say I’m very impressed, but still waiting to be blown away.”
