Halo Number 1, says Apache
VoodooExtreme Robert 'Apache' Howarth has put up Apache's Top10 of 2001, an article detailing what he thought were the 10 best games of the year. And Halo turns up at ... Number 1.
1) Halo (Bungie)Ê- After playing through Halo a couple times I can safely say with no repentance that it's one of the most engrossing action games I've ever played. Prior to Halo, I'd have to give the nod to Half-Life as the best first person shooter ever. But now, that award goes to Halo, as the game is masterfully presented and offers a rich gameplay experience until the very end. Visually, the game is splendid, aurally; the Xbox has better sound support than the PC can match, and other than a few rare occurrences where the frame rates become somewhat choppy in wild firefights, it's perfect.
Go check out the rest of the list, as well! Thanks to Max Payne for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:57:07 UTC) (permalink)
Halo reviewed in... TV Guide?
Eric Trautmann mentions that there's a Halo review in the latest issue of TV Guide. (He hadn't actually seen it, so he couldn't summarize.) We were hoping to get our hands on a copy today... didn't happen. We'll try again tomorrow. Meanwhile, if anyone has this lying around, next to their scanner... Update: Thanks to DT_Spike, who pointed out that it's not much of a review - more of an overview of gaming. Halo's mention is pretty short:
Halo (MICROSOFT) Harnessing all the graphic power of the Xbox, this stunning Sci-Fi epic takes you as close as you'll get to saving the universe (this season, anyway)
It IS a pretty widespread periodical, though... (Louis Wu 03:22:45 UTC) (permalink)
Now THAT makes sense.
Hot damn - finally, a theory you can sink your teeth into! Thaumaturge suggests that the Halo was built by... humans. I'm not gonna steal his thunder, so go and read the whole shebang - it smacks of Bungie goodness, right out of the gate. Now, where's that dang Story site? (Louis Wu 03:03:23 UTC) (permalink)
