What about Vin Diesel? As much as I don't like him, he's gotten the action-type movies before (Riddick) and he's built, so I don't see how he couldn't do it.
Well, considering I never said you HAVE to read a book to enjoy an FPS, I'm merely recommending the reading. The books give you a lot of background to before the Earth-Covenant war, and introduced you to the characters. The 3rd book, First Strike, I believe, was where you first met the Brutes. You also meet a crew of Spartans, which were rumored to be in Halo 2 (and hopefully will be in Halo 3/Forerunner). And who said it wasn't a good game?
I remember playing that game like it was yesterday (where yesterday == 3 years). I was talking to someone on a forum about beating the end boss and he was like, It was no problem; I'm level 70-something. I replied It took me a while, but I did it in just a few attemps. As a level 43...:)
You say it's number 10 of 10 of anticipated games, but you have to take into account that it's so far off. Look at the games that are coming out soon, in the very near future, and you see that the levels of anticipation are much higher. As the launch of Halo 3 nears, and more games that people are drooling over are released (gears of war, too human, etc.), you'll see it climb again.
Personally, my most anticipated games are Too Human and The Darkness...

Why do you think I didn't mention it? :-D

Doesn't anyone play Rogue anymore? ;)

Re Halo - read the 3 novels. Re FF - try playing Skies of Arcadia on the DC or Skies of Arcadia Legends on the GC.

All I could find. Hope you haven't already seen it.
Just as an FYI, Assassin's Creed was the cover story of this months Game Informer. Looks damn nice. Check it out.
That's why I have no qualms dropping $25 a year on OXM to get demos.
