Zero Punctuation does some great reviews. You should definitely check out the Bioshock review, the little animated guys are hilarious to look at :D

That was the dumbest/most annoying thing I've seen on the Internet in the past 2 weeks.

I liked Halo, and have beaten the first two multiple times, and the Live is good apart from teh whiny 9 year olds. But I like the gameplay and I like the game as a whole. It is a good game.

I'm not a hardcore Halo fanatic, but I do enjoy it. Call of Duty 2 is my "Halo."

I don't think Halo is a bad game. But just like the reviewer said, it's a very competent, yet mediocre game. I find myself falling asleep every time I play the single player. The multi-player is fun, but any competent mediocre shooter can be fun with a decent multi-player. I never understood what all the hype's about.
I admit the music rocks in the Halo games. But everything else is just... mediocre.
I haven't played Halo 3 yet, but so far people have told me its almost the same game as the other Halos.

Yeah, I agree. I wish it had a bit more blood/gore to it. A lot of the maps in the first and second were very repetative, which made it boring. But playing it on Normal and beating it vs. on Legendary is two completely different things.

As far as I'm concerned, it comes down to your taste in games, and what each individual person likes the most.

If some one hates it because they hate shooters, or "sci-fi" shooters, that doesn't mean it's a bad game, you know?

Yeah, totally agree with you punr0x0r. I mean, the game is really a phenomenon in the US and I'm guessing in Europe as well.
There has to be something about that game that attracts people.
Maybe cause it was the first competent shooter on a console since Golden Eye.
I don't know.
I just never caught onto all the hype.
Maybe its because I prefer tactical shooters.

(Was a huge fan of the original Ghost Recon).

Haha I was playing GRAW yesterday.. I love GR games.. I've been a RAinbow 6 fan since the original on PC back in like 1997. I actually still have a copy of it somewhere..

Vegas is pretty savage too. The Unreal Engine 3 just kicks so much @ss.

I just spent half an hour watching these reviews.

Then I came here and found them again.

Watched them again, too. So good. So true.

I watched that Bioshock review 3 times thats how funny it was :D

Hope he makes some more reviews soon

@punkr0x0r & @leecho7
I really did like the first Halo game it was brilliant. God knows how many times i finished the whole game on the PC.

But i hear really bad things about both Halo 2 and 3 and in most cases its true but then again you can't judge something you haven't played so i will have to try them out at a friends place.
