EDC Update: Halo 3 ODST

Goal #2 of my extreme difficulty challenge is done!
I just completed Halo 3: ODST on Legendary difficulty, which not only adds another notch to my challenge but it also means I've beaten every Halo game so far on legendary difficulty. Despite being a placeholder between Halo 3 and Reach, I found ODST to be an interesting and enjoyable side story with a darker tone, better characters and lots of backstory for the Halo series. If you like shooters, give ODST a shot, it's probably cheaper now, plus it will get you into the Halo Reach beta that just started up today.

Here's my updated progress:

Halo 3: Legendary difficulty in solo mode
-done
Rainbow Six Vegas: Realistic Difficulty in solo mode

Rainbow Six Vegas 2: Realistic difficulty in solo mode

-Templars, Jerusalem flags and Damascus Flags still needed
Project Gotham Racing 4: Receive a platinum medal in every arcade event
-approx. 20% complete
