i like irony and hipocracy. i actually went to the midnight release at gamestop and waited in line with the nerds to be one of the first people to get their paws on the game. by the time i got home i really was too tired to watch much more than the intro and play for a few minutes.

i never played the other 2 games in the halo series, even though i had an original xbox. it wasn’t until recently that i got into first-person-shooters, and to be honest, real fps games like halo still kind of bore me. the game play in the campaign is too linear, and it’s just a mix of duck/strafe/jump/shoot throughout the whole game. one day after the release, and i am almost done with the game. i would have finished it last night if it weren’t for the huge battle me, eric, ben and his brother had for a few hours. overall, the game is pretty much what i expected. i’m not too familiar with the storyline, so i don’t have much emotional involvment in the characters, the graphics are really decent, but not amazing, and the gameplay is good, except for the second to last level, which is crap.

the multiplayer is great and i foresee many a mornings where i’m going to barely make it into the office after a long night gaming with friends. and i couldn’t look any more ridiculous doing it (we’ve all got headsets so we can talk while we battle, it’s fangeektastic.)

so yeh, get this game and get on xbl. i’m super kento.
