Lost Hours reviews Halo
Lost Hours, a column on the Coming Attractions website, has reviewed Halo - loved the gameplay, hated the lack of a 'boss' (and didn't like the fact that the main character had an 'uncanny resemblance' to the main character in Doom), and wished there was a level editor - the game got a 9/10. (It was also rated as 20 lost hours.) For comparison, the last 4 reviews on the site ranged from 4.5 to 8.5. We've added it to our Reviews page. Thanks to jeremedia for the heads-up.

Plot wars at Bungie
Feeling a little depressed at the end of Halo? Looks like Bungie did its job right - you cared about your Marine buddies. A thread on our forum about the weight of fighting completely without human help in the second half of the game elicited this response from Marty O'Donnell:
I just want you to know that I was pushing for one of the marines to make it out with you at the end (maybe the Aussie) but was called a "Pollyanna" by Joe. There are so many dark and disturbed people at Bungie...
Marty - if wanting to save just a single human makes you a Pollyanna, I'm with you. Leave the depressing stuff to Darth Staten. (Louis Wu 13:44:19 UTC) (permalink)
