    Much of the Same, but thats not a bad thing

     Halo: Reach is much of the same. A rock solid shooter with few flaws and a suprisingly memorable story.  I've always had a love of the Halo franchise, since me and my best friend would sit in his room when we were kids running through Halo: CE on and old color TV. Man, that makes me feel old. I've played every Halo game and they're not perfect, and Halo Reach is not perfect, but it comes pretty close. The graphics are a nice change from the sludge our consoles constantly vomit onto our monitors and I was happy to see more than one shade of brown the entire time. The gameplay is still the core of this game though, while not perfect it's pretty damn close. The multiplayer is where the heart of this game lies. So many customizaiton options and dozens of differant game modes will keep me coming back for years. Now, the campaign: the AI is still problematic, but as with all Halo games it's bearable (Besides who lets the marines actually drive vehicles anyway) and the actual story is fun and interesting to follow though I found it hard to care for the characters especially around the end, you all know why. Still this is a classic in the making and I'll always enjoy this as one of my favorites.

And yes, despite all this, this is a Halo game, and a pretty darn good one too.  Game is split into a variety of modes but three stand out the most: the Campagne, the gigantic, deeper than the ocean Multip...

      Welcome to Reach 0

      In November of 2001, a launch title for the original Xbox named Halo: Combat Evolved forever changed the controls and impact of the home console first-person shooter. Nine years later, developer Bungie had grown the series into one of the most successful and recognizable franchises in the entire industry, becoming a household name nearly rivaling Mario. 2010 saw Bungie's final game in the series that they will create, crafting an origin story to Combat Evolved; appropriately ending the developer...
