If you are into video games, you more than likely read Edge - the videogames magazine and website. They have just awarded Halo 3 the Edge Award for Innovation at this year’s Edinburg Interactive Festival. This was a surprising choice considering the game was going up against Grand Theft Auto IV, Portal, Rock Band, Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit. Although Halo 3 is my favorite game of the ones listed above, I feel like Portal and Rock Band were actually more innovative.

According to the reps at Edge, the game won due to it’s “integration and coherence of Halo 3’s online content”.  While I certainly believe that the Halo series has one of the best online  setups in console history, it wasn’t a huge improvement over Halo 2.  Maybe I say this because I miss Halo 2’s maps…
