Halo 3, due for release on 25 September, is one of the most anticipated videogames of the year. It is Microsoft’s heavy assault weapon in the console wars with Sony and Nintendo; and its success or failure could go a long way in determining which firm emerges victorious. A science-fiction adventure, the first two titles have sold more than 15m copies and tens of thousands of people play the online element to the second game every day. It has spawned comic books, action figures, spin-off games and a highly-secretive project with The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.

Fans of Halo have been teased with videos and screenshots of the new title for months, and even had the chance to play an element of the multiplayer aspect of the game in a limited trial, but the all-important single player game remains a mystery - until now.
