Resolution's Daniel Lipscombe writes: A cynical person could say that a review of the latest instalment in the biggest franchise for generations is a moot point. Halo, on its own is a beast to be reckoned with, one that has changed the landscape of videogames for years to come. But, for now, this is the end, for Bungie, at least. With such a large title it’s easy to whip out the old review cliché and say that “Halo fans will lap up Reach, while it won’t convert the rest of the audience”, but it’s true.
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
Halo’s best ever campaign mode developed by Bungie has had its most annoying feature fixed after more than a decade, making the sci-fi FPS game better than ever
Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?
Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.
Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.
343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.
“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
halo reach is a 8 out of 10 game, good score ;)
“Halo fans will lap up Reach, while it won’t convert the rest of the audience”
I disagree. This is the main and only reason I'm purchasing Reach. I loved Halo 1 but the others IMO where horrible, and Bungie was able to "convert" me back over to their side. If Halo Reach was anything like Halo 3, I would pass on it in a heart beat.
they deducted points for the game being sub-HD.
a very very very generous review for such average game lets hope Resistance 3 gets at least a 9/10.
