Reviews and news
Last Thursday, BOLL sent us a note about a Halo review at Tom's Hardware; they didn't actually have the review up, they had a page that said 'we're not sleeping until this review is finished! Keep refreshing this page!' Every day, I went back. Nothing. Finally, today, Zaknafein pointed out that they'd put a review up - at a different URL! Doh. (If the URL is anything to go by, they posted it on the 13th.) There's no overall rating - but they loved the audio and gameplay, liked the graphics, weapons, A.I., and story, were okay with the vehicles, and thought the level design needed work. Other reviews around the net today:
- MLGPro.com has a bunch of fan reviews posted. Pro players will weigh in later this week.
- The Edinburgh Student Newspaper believes Halo is just shooting Teletubbies, and isn't very good.
And geez, while we're here, let's get the Halo 2 press from around the net out of the way:
- BYU NewsNet - release coverage
- Paly Voice - release coverage
- Daily Times (Philadelphia) - Halo 2's popularity
- IGN - A Second Look (Editors revisit their thoughts)
- GamesIndustry.biz - Halo 2 has sold more than a quarter million units in the UK in its first week (3rd fastest selling title on record)
- The Daily Northwestern (Illinois) - silly article about people having Halo stolen (among lots of other stuff)
I'm sure there'll be more as time goes on. (Louis Wu 14:25:40 UTC)
