Mad Goose (Purity)

Name: Mad GooseMad Goose
Label: "Watch out for the goose, her hiss is far worse than her bite. Though she might drive you clucking mad, underneath it all she's not that bad - Award winning ales from Warwickshire"
Brewery: Purity
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: More excellent than mad

Game: The only downside to Halo 3: ODST is that it's really quite short. As it was originally intended to be a Halo 3 expansion/download this should not come as a complete surprise. As the price tag has also dropped significantly, now £24.99 - cheers Argos, you do now get more value for your pennies in this two disc set, with the addition of Firefight mode and Halo 3 multiplayer maps. The main campaign is well written and put together - it perfectly captures the atmosphere of a lonely trek through a destroyed New Mombasa searching for clues to the whereabouts of your squad mates. The fact that you're not Master Chief also means that you genuinely feel like you could get your ass severely kicked if you stumble across one of the strong Covenant forces patrolling the deserted city. Sneaking around like a big chicken is sometimes the order of the day (if chickens actually sneak or not though is debatable).
