I agree will all of them and most of them are singleplayer.

Halo has a fantastic Multiplayer I couldn't get into... I hated the cartoony like enemies soo much. They sounded like pixar creatures.

stupid article. Bright and vivid colors is what sets Halo apart from other games. Halo is rated mature, so that alone means its not that kiddy. And grunts are the only race in the game that speak in high pitched voices. Elites, brutes, and hunters all have a deep groan in their voice, and drones and jackals have instect-like noises to them.

*sigh* doom, quake, killzone, gears of war, prey, etc all of them have dark, "realistic" tones to their enemies and atmosphere. What the hell is wrong with Halo wanting to be a bit more, oh idk, original, and make their universe a bit brighter? Its pretty ironic when shiny purple,red,and blue aliens are trying to massacre you, and you make them bleed blue blood. Once again, stupid article.

Exactly one of the reasons i love Halo is because it not one of those "gray" shooters like Killzone, Gears of War, the xbox 360 and PS3 are capable of producing beautiful colors like in Halo and Uncharted. One of the reasons that im looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 is because they are adding a lot of color to the game.

And these Gray games don't look more realistic to me, when i step outside i dont see a world that has 16 colors i see a world that has over 16,000,000 colors.

I just don't like Dull looking games as much.

And your right the grunts are the only thing kiddy about halo but they also bring much needed comic relief.

CraigGOA5310d ago

Let's hope Bungie can do something really special with Halo: Reach. There are a lot of good games coming out in 2010, so Bungie have their work ahead of them if Reach is going to match or exceed them.

I am Legend5310d ago

Reach is being built from the ground up.

:)

foreverflame5310d ago

Whatever it is it will be anything better than killzone 2 broken multiplayer will offer

cyborg69715308d ago

It's a game that totally dismantles halo in every aspect. That's what Killzone 2 is.

RockmanII75309d ago

If it has Halo-esce multiplayer and the Grunt Birthday Skull, I'll be fine :)

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.

robtion479d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad480d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90480d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183480d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde479d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90479d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde479d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator479d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13479d ago

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

shinoff2183479d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken564d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar564d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos564d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP564d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken564d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149564d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE564d ago

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.

zidane1341564d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90564d ago

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.

Profchaos564d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90564d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai564d ago

“ 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.
