If you don’t know the name Grant Morrison, then you don’t (or ever did) read comic books. The Scottish comic book scribe has been responsible for some great titles, not least among them his version of “The Doom Patrol” and the monstrously cool Batman graphic novel “Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth”.

Here’s a preview of “Halo 3″, where you once again assume the role of alien killer Master Chief, who in this third and (supposedly) final installment, “returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.” The game arrives on the Xbox 360 sometime very soon. Check out a rocking video trailer for it.
