Many moons ago I got fond of a very populair franchise. And finally today I'll be getting the new release in the series. Of course I'm talking about Halo, what else. I'll probably won't be the only one writing something about that game today. Since I can't figure a more highly anticipated game this year I thought why not go along with it.
Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on the Legendary version but I can't wait for a chance that some1 canceled or didn't pick up it's pre-order. So I'm going with the Limited Edition, which I'm sure of will satisfy me just as well. The little statue would be a nice addition to the helm from last game but hey we can't have it all, right? So yeah, very excited for adding my Halo: Reach stats to the Bungie site. Been waiting long enoug for it since the Béta and am ready to go!
Maybe a little history lesson would be in place since I have crap to write about Reach. So yeah, it all started with combat evolved, which I liked but since I only had a PC version I never got into it that much. Not like Halo 2 that is. Without a doubt Halo 2 is my favourite release uptill now and "now" means before I've got my hands on Reach. I've spend many, many, many, MANY hours playing Halo 2 in competitive fashion while being annoyed by the trashtalk that comes included with the game. I even started playing with the noob-combo before it was called that way. Ah the good ol' times.
Halo 3 I liked that's for sure, especially the singleplayer. But for some reason I never got caught in the multiplayer mill, Halo 3 just didn't do what Halo 2 could for me. I have no clue why, it just didn't appeal to me that much. As for ODST I never got further than borrowing it from my nephew and playing a mission or two. Again, there's no obvious reason, the game just didn't do it for me. And of course this doesn't mean I think there bad games. They just weren't the ones for me.
And now I have good faith that Reach will yet again be a jewel in the franchise. Specially after reading all the good reviews and comments. And maybe I'll be that excited that I can't keep my opinion to my self and write some impressions in a later blog, who knows.
And what nice 25 years it has been. From Super Mario Bros. on the NES till The New Super Mario Bros. I almost liked them all. There's only two or three I can think of that just didn't do it for me. For instance I thought that "Sunshine" was rubbish, I also not ashamed to say it but Mario 64 never appealed to me either. As for the Galaxy's I must say they where pretty nice but for some reason could get me to finish it. The rest on the other hand, some of them are even in my list of favourite games all times with Mario 3 as my all time favourite. All by all it's a nice acomplishement even if it wasn't all good. So while shooting faces off today, take a moment to think about the "Super Italian".
