Captain Spark Reviews Halo 3

Written by narcogen
You know Captain Spark. The guy who records all those audio snippets from Halo games? Yeah, that's him. He's weighed in now with a review of Halo 3's campaign. He starts by getting two beefs of his chest (the over-aggressive Arbiter and the so-called "Cortana Moments") before getting to what...

Long story short, we both make it out of the ring before it explodes into flame but Master Chief's part of the ship is split apart like the Titanic on Christmas Eve. He is forced to begin cryogenic sleep until Cortana needs him to clean the bathroom. Which is fine with Master Chief. Because Corta...

The first new multiplayer maps are set for release in early April and a play last week suggested that fans won't be disappointed. Newcomers may be though. Infinity Ward, the developers of the game, have argued that COD4 is a lot of players, "first time playing a multiplayer game on console or...

While Microsoft Game Studios retains the rights to the Halo franchise, I certainly hope that they enlist Bungie to continue this excellent saga, to keep the story consistent, and of the overall quality that we've come to expect from the franchise. Thank you Bungie. Thank you for making the...

It's getting harder and harder to compile a week's worth of news into a single post. In fact, it's really pretty much impossible (or at the very least impractical). Honestly, you should just be reading the whole site religiously. That's our advice. Just look at what we've had this week: giveaw...

21 Feb 2008 02:30:48 PST

Written by narcogen
Tribute and Wake Me When You Need Me are where Bungie gets to eat its emotional cake and have it, too. Tribute brings the UNSC martial themes and the Arbiter's themes together as Lord Hood honors the fallen-- including the Master Chief-- and the Elites return home.

Written by Anonymous
HALO sales never peaked on release, like the games it leant it's name to. In fact they got off modest ground. The sales of HALO 1 swelled, and they swelled on the basis of word of mouth. Both single and multiplayer aspects contributed, but... To underestimate the impact that it's supremely regard...

Written by ShadowOfTheVoid
Regardless of whether they connect at random (like in Halo 2) or are guaranteed to hit (like in Halo 3), the very concept of the melee lunge is flawed. The best we could hope for in Halo 3 is that Bungie ditches the "who has more health" system and makes it to where if both players are weak enough t...

QJ.NET review: Plugging the Xbox 360 into Headplay

01 Oct 2007 13:50:03 PDT

Written by Isaac C.
Of course there's always online multiplayer games but that's not the same as actually having a person who's playing right beside you. There's some satisfaction in gloating when your opponent's sitting next to you. The need to point and say "ha-ha" aside, it's still pretty wicked on online...

Opinion: A Half-Week In Halo 3 Hype [Multi-tap]

25 Sep 2007 23:00:06 PDT

Written by Brian Ashcraft
All considered, campaign, presentation, the replay mode, online/multiplayer/co-op modes, I'd give the game a solid 9.5/10 Single Player: I hate when people refer Halo multiplayer as FAST PACED. Unreal Tournament is fast paced, Halo 3 feels like Doom. God, I hate Halo!

Just like in Halo 2, there's a matchmaking system, and just like Halo 2, the system improves with each gaming session. It was kind of funny how fast I leveled up; it's possible many of those who bought Crackdown for the Beta, never played Halo before. Snowbound
