Finally, what is arguably the biggest release of the year, Halo 3, has gone gold.

All that really means is that the game has been finalized and has begun being manufactured – maybe not the most exciting sounding thing in the world, but it does tell us that the game’s development cycle is complete. With over a million preorders in North America alone, Halo 3 is bound to sell like hotcakes once September 25 rolls around.
