What the hell is wrong with you european people?
That, my friend, is something we luckily will never be able to explain. |

Halo there,
Hmm wonder have any of these guys actually played the bleedin game. Yes the second part of the game is un-imaginative regarding levels just the same ones in reverse. However, you are so busy trying not to get killed by the Flood (absence of health powerups doesn't help either) that you forget that you are just going back through the same levels. Play the game before making judgements. Don't forget there are loads of multiplayer options too. And yes some of Gestalts views on the game are quite valid. Just like to point out that according to Bungie this game actually started life as a RTS. Bit of a change eh. Most excellent game 9/10

It made me wonder why I even bothered to play the bleedin game. Not only did I have to backtrack through awful interior design, I also had to fence off a enemy to which there was no end. Whoever designed the structure from mission 6-10 should be shot dead. |

Oh yea still at it... :)
Something to do first thing in the morning Guess some people just have different points of view on the game (i.e. those who have actually played the game) Go figure...

Hmm can't wait, any idea what the release date is yet?
Unreal Championship is supposed to be out in July on the Xbox. Haven't heard a release date for Unreal 2 though for PC. |

They pushed it back to the end of the year, around the holiday. They even removed the multiplayer in order to focus on the singleplayer. UC looks ace aswell, let's see how MS work out their online thing. Of course, there is UT2003, funny that we didn't see a single Unreal-game in three years and then we get three in one year. |

"We got a couple of these shows here too." - Your lucky we have digital channels which show these sort of programs all day everyday. There seems to be one on at least everyday on terrestrial tele as well. We have Changing Rooms from the UK, US, Aus, NZ and Big Strong Girls, Big Strong Boys, House Invaders, Change This etc etc etc.

Now that took an unexpected twist.
From Halo to a frilly shirt wearing English ponce. Hmm a nice shade of mauve on the interior of Halo... |

Sales would suggest otherwise
Come on Stu, you know better than that, when have sales ever been a reflection of worth? |

Well I'd agree with this review (over a year late...) - I've never been able to get into Halo for the year I've owned it. Whilst it can be impressive in places in can be really bland in others. Nice to see that not everyone is going to give it a 10 (*cough*edge*cough*).
And the PC version desveres an extra point for the pretty graphics and looses 2 for lack of co-op and absurd system specs. |

You realise that Halo came out with the XBox.
A long time ago.

Ditto.
I recently finished Far Cry and I immediately had a hankering for Halo - still got the magic after all this time. Played it from start to finish (skipping the Library of course) and I swear I enjoyed it as much as the other 6 times I've played it in both single and co-op. Wouldn't surprise me if I got the urge to do it all again in a couple of months - magnificent game. |
