Master Chief Needs Your Help!

Hollywood had it right with the Walk of Fame. Putting the names of stars (and Alf) in the sidewalk for people to admire and walk all over was, quite frankly, a stroke of genius. Not to be outdone, video games now have their own Walk of Fame at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco.
