    I love all the Halo music, but the music in ODST, especially in the lonely streets of New Mombasa has taken it to a whole new level.

    I'm loving this series, more!

    I thought the composer for Riven was Robyn Miller again... maybe they co-composed?

    Personally, the volume of poo matters. When you take a dump, its not about whether or not you "poo'd", it's all about how MUCH poo there was!!!!

    Halo's music is incredible. It's some of my favourite music to listen to (and not just of game music either).

    I've purchased all of Marty's HALO soundtracks to date. I can't wait until he makes the transition to feature film OSTs. I could see him composing the score to the next be Sci-Fi flick. BTW, if you haven't gotten ODST yet and are a HALO fan; do yourself a favor and get it ASAP - Firefight alone is worth it

    Again, though, major props to Marty O'Donnell - The man who revolutionized immersive gameplay through his music.
