Halo Preview at Gamecritics.com
Gamecritics.com has put put up a Halo preview that's worth reading. There's one new screenshot (pretty nice, though unfortunately small), and a reasonbly good analysis of the current position of Halo. There a couple of notable problems with the review, however, which make you wonder... for example, on Page 4, there's this passage:
It's also worth mentioning that many of the weapons won't actually look like guns. As a Microsoft rep has said, "In order to be sensitive to the needs of the mainstream consumer market and curb recent trends towards violence."
Readers with good memories will recognize this information as coming from R.net's April Fools Day post... if the author was taken in by THIS info, what ELSE is wrong? Go read it and decide for yourself. Update: d-trexx writes to say that our 'new screenshot' isn't new at all - PlanetXbox has had it in their archives since Gamestock. Guess we just missed it... Update 2: DOH! It's been in OUR screenshots section since March 20 - I put it there myself! It came from Bungie's new Halo site. I gotta stop using those aluminum pots to cook my tomato sauce in...
