I agree, the guitar is looking sweet. It lends itself to customization through stickers or paint. I think they referenced the design from an existing Gibson model.
I believe Halo deserves the recognition because it's the first console FPS to achieve such wide-spread acceptance of long time PC gamers and FPS-on-console skeptics like me. I never thought a console FPS could live up to a PC FPS, but after playing Halo, I was proven wrong. It just feels right and the pace of the game works with the fact that you have to control your character with a gamepad, which also results in developers and gamers concentrating on other factors of the game, in particular, the physics engine, and strategy.
Console games have always been fun, ever since Atari in my case, but I think Halo is revolutionary to the console platform as much as Mario Bros. was when it came out, and perhaps even more so. A revolutionary game will always make headlines, but no matter how good it is, some people just won't agree, and that's ok too.
Personally, Halo 2 gone gold is just as important as Half-life 2 gone gold.
