    Halo 3 Plasma Pistols

    I received a box set of Halo 3 Covenant Plasma Pistols in the mail yesterday. The two guns and two targets are sold together as a Halo-themed laser pursuit game. I haven't had a chance to play yet (that's for this weekend), but they seem like they're pretty well put together and have a nice set of rules backing them. For instance you can fire off super shots with the gun by holding down the trigger for a few. You can also run out of ammo and shield. I'll make sure to update everyone on Monday about how they worked out. In the meantime check out the unboxing. More »
