This is SportsCenter...for gaming geeks. Fans have been posting videos of some of their best kills in the new game Halo 3. One of the favorite genres is the "plasma grenade stick" kill.

There's an art to wielding these fiery-blue weapons, but players can get lucky, too. And just like on sports shows, the improbable scores always get the best response. In one popular clip, a player called BlackShadowMist throws one of the plasma grenades at an enemy and misses, but the explosive lands on a "gravity lift" and gets tossed back up towards the bad guy. Honestly, it's really cool.

If you've never played Halo 3 and wonder what the hoopla's all about, check out the highlight above.—Gregory Mone
