Abstract: Halo is to Microsoft what Mario is to Nintendo. The original Halo was, in simplest of terms, a game worthy enough to sell an entire console platform on its own merit. It may not have shown the ingenuity of French or Japanese games, nor was it revolutionar...
Its fairly obvious by this point in the review that I really like Halo 4 and while it isn't perfect it does deliver one of the finest gaming experiences on the Xbox 360 to date. Although when I say it isn't perfect, its hard to put a pin on what exactly i...
Some may dismiss Halo 4 as the same old same old in the Halo franchise but the level of detail in the game, plus a more mature and thoughtful storyline and dialogue, makes Halo 4 the most adult Halo entry in the series....

Great storyline with epic sci-fi feel, Superb visuals that stretch the 360 to its limits, Compelling and unpredictable action, Awesome multiplayer modes
