To put my feelings of Halo: Reach into words would probably make me sound like the biggest Halo fan boy on the planet, so I’ll just say that the game for me was the best final certain call for Bungie that the gaming universe could hope for, as FPS games go it is everything I need, well maybe besides that fact that it doesn’t have the parody humor of Timesplitters or Duke Nukem, but a game can’t have everything you [...]
So, Halo Reach is out and the gaming community is going nuts for it. It’s been getting perfect scores in plenty of places and at the time of writing, it has a 93 Metacritic rating (if you care for that sort of thing), so it’s obviously being really well received critically and it will obviously be commercially too. However, in a statement that will probably send the fanboys after me, and something that I should stress before Rob comes after [...]
Halo has been the perfect franchise for me. After leaving the PC and the likes of Duke Nukem, Quake and Unreal Tournament. I thought the FPS genre was finished for me untill I laid my hands on Halo: Combat Evolved for the original X Box. I got an X Box for that game and I have never regretted it. It’s in-depth story about the war against the Covenant and indeed the whole story behind the Halo rings themselves did hook [...]
Ok so these past few weeks have been Halo: Reach crazy, and to be honest it is totally understandable seeing as this is going to be Bungie’s last outing for the Halo Franchise. Bungie have always said they wanted to leave the Halo franchise with a bang, and what I have heard thus far, they are right on schedule. With things like Forge World and pretty much a play upgrade from several new features, Bungie are defiantly going all out [...]
The For-runners are back, and this time it’s up to you what is built. Halo 3 brought us something that console fans had been yearning for in one shape or form since Halo: Combat Evolved, and that was a level editor of sorts. Dubbed Forge, this basic level editor would let players customise some of their favorite maps with a variety of weapons, props and vehicles. Later on in Halo 3′s life Bungie released some unique DLC expand forge further, [...]
As I was doing my day-to-day scanning of the internet. I found out that some of the Halo Reach achievements have been announced officially by Bungie. I also noticed that these were announced a while ago *facepalm* but never the less I will endeavor to go through what has been announced. Note: If you don’t want to feast your eyes on the Halo Reach Achievements, I suggest you take a look at the other posts on the site to take [...]
Ok if you have been keeping up with Plus XP you will know full well now that I absolutely love everything Halo. I have been a fan of this game since its first game back in on the original Xbox, or X Brick as I liked to call it back then. My first taste of Halo came about when I was round my mates house playing multiplayer split screen. We were playing split screen death match and we chose a [...]
Now I think I would be under exaggerating just a tiny bit when I say I like halo. I think this every time I look at My Xbox 360 game collection and see almost a 3rd of my games are Halo (yes ok My collection Isn’t that big), but the more I think about it. The more I think “is there anything different they can bring to the FPS genre, are they just gonna stick with the old Halo Mechanics?”
The last couple of days, I have been making the most of my Xbox LIVE 48 hour Gold Trial. Every chance I have had I have been playing the Halo: Reach Beta. And am I disappointed? Hell no! Lets just cut to the chase here and dive straight into what the Beta has to offer, Now as you all well know I was only on a LIVE play trial, not a gold account, this means I could not play in [...]
As you’ve probably guessed, the real game I got this for is Halo: Reach. Yup, the beta is out next Monday May 3rd, and I CAN NOT WAIT. I really like the gritty look of Reach, plus hey, everyone loves jetpacks. Halo 3 is STILL one of the most played multiplayer games on Live, and I myself can account for that. It’s a ballad of vibrant eye poptitude coupled with explosions and badass vehicles. One of my faves is Sand [...]
