MAXIMUM HALO 0
The best Halo ever, and yes, playing on Heroic IS the way to play. Legendary is just stupid hard, like taking a bumpy bus ride wearing underwear full of drawing pins - some might like it but most will find it uncomfortable to say the least. Only on the very last level did I find Reach start to get a bit samey (What, another wave of even tougher covenant?) but the graphics, story, cut-scenes and panache mark this out as the the definitive HALO. I just wish my 5.1 sound system didn't drown ou...

Remember Reach. Begin the Fight. 0
Before we began our journey as the quiet and deadly Master Chief, Spartans were almost as common as the marines of the UNSC. They formed Elite squads that were ready for anything, but the Covenant proved to be more prepared and unleashed an all-attack on the planet Reach. Step into the shoes of Noble 6 and fight alongside the Spartans in Bungie’s last hoorah with Halo. If you could only buy one FPS this year, it would be hard not to recommend Reach. Bungie has given us plenty of reasons to pop i...

Why settle when you can Reach 0
There is something about the Halo franchise that gets me excited. I like the characters, the story, and environments and the weapons. I have played the Halo series since Combat Evolved and was very exicted when I heard Reach was coming out. Now that I have finished the campaign I feel like I can give a full, fair review. The Story - I will not reveal any of the story to prevent any spoiling but I will say that the story in Reach got me more involved emotionally then any other Halo game. I ...

Until You Get It Perfect 0
After a decade, we have arrived at the end for Bungie developed Halo games. The series and its creators are both at a crossroads. Before we move on completely, we journey to Reach to see how the events of the rest of the series almost never happened. Will Halo: Reach rewrite the standards for prequels or is it just a story that was better left unplayed? Team Noble coming at you Let's Go, 6The story of Halo and I have a mixed past. I gave up on the stories during the main campaign, but ...

Reach. For the skies. 0
There aren't many franchises that can say they've done as much as Halo has. Without Halo, let's face it, the Xbox wouldn't have done nearly as well as it did, and the term "console-shooter" would have died with the Nintendo 64. With this being Bugnie's last Halo game, expectations are sky high, and fortunately for us, delivers on almost all fronts. Each kind of Halo fan will have a varying reaction to Reach. Some will love it, some will say it sucks. (But, hey, that's how most games work out...

New Halo Player 0
I have never really been much of a Halo player, but I have to say that Halo Reach is a great game. The campaign is great, fun levels with challenging AI. I love the persistance Avatar that you get to use in multiplayer and buy new equipment for. Really entertaining game, I would suggest it to anyone who like FPS games. This game has the replayability to keep me entertained for a long time....

Halo: Reach Review 0
Halo: Reach has a lot on its shoulders. Not only does it have a legacy of excellent shooters to follow, it’s the last of its kind from developer Bungie. It’s easy to imagine them crumbling under the pressure, delivering a lot of half-baked ideas with middling execution. Overcoming the odds, Halo: Reach is without a doubt the best Halo game yet. Whether it’s the single player or multiplayer, there isn’t a facet of the game that hasn’t seen a significant improvement.Thanks to an engine overhaul, B...

Decent Ending to an Overrated Series 0
Bungie's stewardship over their rather profitable Halo series comes to a close with Halo Reach, probably the pinnacle of this series. The storyline is abject crap (space marines repel the Covenant from Reach) and almost seems to contradict the mythos (Reach, if memory serves, went so poorly it got them to wake Master Chief up to fight the Covenant and the UNSC was basically routed and abandoned the planet).So, this is the prequel involving the Fall of Reach...and things aren't that bad. ...

Get me a 24-pack of beer and Reach and I’ll survive for a week 0
XBOX360HALO: REACH REVIEWGet me a 24-pack of beer and Reach and I’ll survive for a weekIt’s finally arrived and Xbox 360 owners across the globe are rejoicing while PS3 owners are flaming away on the forums. It truly is a momentous occasion. You probably already have the game in your hands and have clocked hundreds of hours of multiplayer. I mean, the games already been out for a few weeks. So why put a review up now? With a game like Reach, I think it takes a little more than one run through of...

Reach Review 0
When talking about a series as influential and beloved as Halo, you’d better be careful making the grand claim that the latest edition is the best yet. But after you’ve gorged yourself on the sublime single-player game – and steeled yourself for the months of thumb-numbing online multiplayer to come – there’ll be no doubt in your mind that this is Halo’s crowning glory. While all Halo games have been undisputed modern classics, it’s all been leading up to Reach; a title of such depth, i...

Campaign Review 0
Bungie continues to do what Bungie does well – but is this the end for the Halo we know? It’s kind of strange going back to a proper Halo game after having played a bunch of shooters where “aiming down the sights” is integral to the gameplay because that’s not really how Halo rolls. I found it refreshing to be back in the Spartan armor, mixing up vehicular and on-foot combat, and punching grunts in the face. Even knowing how the game ends (poorly for our heroes) didn’t sour the experience ...

Reaching for the controller 0
Lame title I kow, but given that this game has had me doing that, I thought it was appropriate. I got Halo Reach pretty much when it came out. I'm a Halo fan from way back, loving the first game, pretty much loving the second game, kinda loving the third, hating ODST (Don't start...) and now, even when I said I'd hold off from buying it, Halo Reach has not left my console yet. The first thing I played was the game's campaign. I think the campaigns in Halo's franchise really waned sometime betwe...

No One's Reviewed Reach Yet. Right? 0
I didn't hear a whole lot about this game in the months before this game's release, and that led me to believe that people were honestly getting tired of Halo. Heck, I was tired of Halo and had convinced myself that I had moved on to "bigger" and "better" console shooters by partaking in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I didn't need a new shooter and I didn't really want one, but due to living with a room mate who preordered the game, I decided I'd give it a shot, and let's just say I'm ...

A fitting end to an era. 0
Halo Reach is undoubtedly the most anticipated game this year. It marks the end of an era in this landmark franchise and as such it's goal is to go out on a high note. I believe Halo Reach takes that high note, the game is fantastic, and if you're a fan of the series, or shooters, you'll enjoy this. But check it all out in my review....

Bungie Unloads a Dropship 0
It's here! Bungie's final word on the Halo saga has arrived to much fanfare, hype, plastic figurines and a mainstream marketing budget large enough to build a small army. But that's nothing new. We've seen Halo dominate the mainstream gaming world many times before. The question is... Is this one worth it? Plastic figurines are for real men. Many gamers fall into two camps with Halo. The first enjoys the game very deeply, so much so that it's one of the only games they play all year long. ...

More then just a game. 0
You know that feeling when you are about to watch a movie that is so grand, so epic that you have goose bumps? Halo Reach will do that and will do it for the entire game. Love it or hate it, make no mistake that Halo is the current top dog in video games. What Mario and Sonic was to 1980s and 90s, Halo is the current top dog. Not only in terms of sales but also hype, devotion, and hate. The amount of jealousy and hate that the PS3 fans come up with at the mention of Halo is a sure sign that...

The Beginning of the End? 0
Halo: Reach is a Halo game through and through: if you came expecting a significant departure from previous iterations of Halo, you would be sorely disappointed. But what you can expect is a lovingly crafted tribute by game developers Bungie to the Halo series and their devoted fans. Reach’s single player campaign epitomises the engaging Halo formula: a careful mix of exceptional first-person shooting mechanics, vehicular based missions and...

Bungie has improved Halo in almost every way 0
So like I do with every game I started with the campaign for Reach. One awesome thing you'll find about the campaign from the get go is that your customized Spartan will be the guy you play as in campaign which will appear in the cinematics. For this though you pay the price by having a less interesting character as the rest of the cast whom are perfectly comfortable taking of their helmets and expressing their opinions. Clearly this was done so the player could more easily project themselves on...

Halo: Reach Review 0
Let me get this started by saying that I personally have had little love for the Halo Series in my time playing games. Other then the occasional Lan party with Halo: CE for Xbox and a brief attempt at playing through the trilogies campaigns I haven't found much reason to care about the universe or its characters. That being said with Reach being a prequel and my most recent playthrough of the ODST add on for Halo 3 Impressing me I decided to go at Reach with an open mind. Halo Reach takes pl...
