SUMMARY:
We're often forced to wait a little longer then we'd like, but a few times a year, the PS3 serves up an exclusive title that will make the most die-hard 360 fan-boy weep into his Halo 3 helmet.

Immediately Cole is thrown into action and sets out to help an evolving mystery unfold.

Being the sole survivor of the epicenter of the blast, Cole knows he needs to get out of there to find some help. You take control and learn the basics of the game with an almost on-rails guide,...
