Halo: The Master Chief Collection Review

If it wasn’t for Halo the mere thought of me purchasing an Xbox would’ve never happened. Bungie’s first person shooter wowed me with it’s compelling story along with it’s excellent combat mechanics. Halo 2, with it’s outstanding multiplayer, ushered in the era of Xbox Live making it the household name that it is today. In over a decade Halo has become synonymous with the Xbox brand, and is considered one of the biggest as well as the most popular gaming franchises of all time. With countless remasters being made on current generation consoles it was only a matter of time before the legend of Halo would once grace it’s presence on the Xbox One.

Halo: Spartan Assault Review

If there is one game series that is 100% synonymous with the Xbox brand that series would be Halo. The FPS series that started with the launch of the original Xbox has been a mega-hit, and has gone beyond it’s FPS roots with an RTS game in Halo Wars and just last year with the mobile game Halo: Spartan Assault. With the recent launch of the Xbox One I felt like something was missing and that game was Halo. While the continuing adventures of Master Chief will launch later this year, 343 Industries and Vanguard Entertainment have decided to take it’s mobile game and port it to Microsoft’s next-gen console. The end result is a game that may look and play like Halo, but just doesn’t feel like Halo.

Halo 4 Review

Master Chief Is Back!

It’s been five years since the last appearance of the iconic Master Chief in Halo 3. The Halo rings were destroyed, 343 Guilty Spark was destroyed, and Earth was saved. The Chief and Cortana however were last seen drifting in the far reaches of space on the fractured UNSC ship Forward Unto Dawn. The Chief has gone back into cryo sleep and tells Cortana to wake him when he’s needed. Now after more than four years in space a new threat along with Covenant called the Prometheans has arisen. Add onto that Cortana’s AI is deteriorating. What does the Chief do? Kick ass, take names, and once again try to save the day. It’s time for me to take part in a brand new Halo trilogy. The Reclaimer Trilogy.

What a week! I’m not even at the show this year and I’m exhausted. Press conferences, endless gameplay videos to watch, the NBA Playoffs, and spending time with my nephew at home has worn me out.

Now with the 2012 edition of E3 winding down it’s time for me to pick my winners and losers of what is considered as the video games “Super Bowl.”
