First Halo 3 review. By fansite of 'Argos' copy

Gaming fansite CrookedAbstraction.com managed to get hold of a copy of Halo 3 when UK retailer Argos accidentally sold a few copies earlier this week. Stig has spent the last two days reviewing it.

He has proof of purchase, and photos of the game. Which means his review makes history as the first online review of Halo 3, and the first western review.

He describes himself as a Halo sceptic, and there are noticeable framerate issues, however his review may surprise you!

Non-Halo fan gives it a 9/10.

"The combat though is gripping and spectacular and Halo 3 contains hands down the best Halo fights ever. There are new enemies and weapons and with the fantastic AI the whole thing combines to give you some really thrilling encounters."

10-12 hours long. Sweet. On Heroic or Legendary extend that number by quite a bit.

So fing excited. This guy doesn't even like Halo and he says it's easily one of the best games of the year. Says something right there.

If you even like Halo a little tiny bit your gonna love this fing game.

<ed.> Nasim, do you ever click links and read the story before you start typing your dumb shat?

"If you want a Halo fan’s review you have come to the wrong place."

First sentence. Did YOU read the review?

Halo 3's replayability will be through the roof with finding all the skulls, terminals, 4 player co-op, campaign scoring, forge, multiplayer.

Campaign Scoring will be HUGE. With being able to play it with 4 people, teaming up or playing individually, leaderboards, and every stat you can imagine being accessible with Bungie.net. Forge should do alright too ;)

Mu5afir6461d ago (Edited 6461d ago )

He is not a "none-halo" fan, did you even read the review?
4 player Co-oP? I thought it was already established there is no co-op play in Halo 3?

Douchebaggery6461d ago

let me tell you a secret, nobody cares about your f*cking rant posting it on multiple news post won't change that fact.

dmeador6461d ago

That has to be one of the dumbest comments I've seen. How can Microsoft stop devolopers from making good looking games on the PS3? So they pay off every single devoloper do they?

SonySoldiers6461d ago

lol Hola! MGS4 WILL NOT BE PORTED TO XBOX 360, DUH..

The game met this guy's expectations, even though he really didn't have any, but from what he has said I think the game might meet mine as well. I can't wait anymore just a couple days more.

Leg-End6461d ago

curtis = ps3
kanye = wii

people wanna take the top dog down. but eventually the top dog will remain on top
plus europe likes curtis and the ps3

sorry, off-subject - halo will rule (but still slighly overrated i think)

TheXgamerLive6461d ago

I'm not certain the guy really reviewed the game, I mean he cleaverly never said anything factual about the game at all, his whole review was generic.

However I'm certain the game will really be a 10 out of 10.

snoop_dizzle6461d ago

2pac or biggie would be a better candidate.

i actually don't mind some of kanye's music but thats about it.

Andronix6461d ago (Edited 6461d ago )

I like the guys review, and I trust it to be a hell of a lot more honest than many magazines. He is not a Halo fanboy just a gamer.

"If you’re expectations are that the game will change your life, make you a man and ultimately get you laid then you are going to be very disappointed indeed."

In this way he says that his review is not based on hype but on the game, how many reviews will we say that 'its better than sex?' He is honest enough to comment on some minor faults, frame rate problems and graphics (like GamesMaster magazine said) are very good but not as good as he was hoping for. Despite his scepticism he praises the games quality, production values, story and playability.

This looks like it could be a fantastic game. I cant bloody wait!

MarioFromTexas6461d ago

we can post nothing but blogs in N4G.COM...........It seems like every good news for M$ and bad news for PS3 has been someone blog. Come on xbots this sh1t is getting out of hand with the blogs, can we just get news about games and not consoles. Where are all the in depth news about real games. It seems no matter what every article turns into a flamebait

Gamingskills6461d ago

If you are a Sony Fanboy give us all a favor and SHUT THE F#CK UP! PLEASE ITS FREE! Your negative opinion means nothing if you don't have the game. Face it this game is going to sell better than anything on PS3 available. You are just MAD it's not coming out for PS3. No matter how you feel this game is going to do very well. HA HA!

spider_pig6461d ago

hey S-hole...only xbots want to play halo...this is another FPS with no emotion...i've played it and its a indiferent and overrated game for me and for the people who dont buy a console that dies....xcox is WEAK...so STFU...

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii506d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies506d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer544d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog544d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned544d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c544d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb543d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies544d ago (Edited 544d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal544d ago (Edited 544d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72543d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman544d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos543d ago (Edited 543d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows543d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
