I would just like to mention that I’ve been playing Halo 3 for the last 5 hours.  I can’t see straight, and I have work to do tomorrow, but damn is that one fine game.  Believe… the hype.  What I can’t believe is how good the visuals look.  I’m playing it on an SD TV, and it still looks amazing HDR Rendering is your very best friend.  I know that Halo 3 is not the first game to make use of HDR, but it’s probably the most popular.  I would go as far as saying that it will no longer be possible to make any money with a FPS which doesn’t support HDR rendering.  For now, I’m going to have to sleep and finish the fight tomorrow.
