News Catchup
News dump, yet again (I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the day when coverage can go back to commentary on every item):
- The Seattle Post-Intelligencer thought Halo 3 was good, but not great; there were plot holes. Three stars out of four.
- 3of9 found a very cool UNSC logo shirt at MyTeeSpot
- Gamespot created a graphical comparison between the three games; it's a little unfair because they did a far better job getting screenshots for Halo 3 than for the other two, but the general idea is sound (thanks, Marcus-626)
- Scott Hanselman reviewed the game for his blog, and declared it 'balanced'
- Britain's Telegraph reviews Halo 3, and says that "Halo 3 crosses into the "essential" category effortlessly".
- TheStreet.com warns that enthusiastic launch events do NOT say anything useful long-term for investors; they're taking a 'wait and see' approach.
- Apparently, the US Air Force took advantage of the launch to try to do some recruiting in a small town in New Hampshire
- Yahoo Games has posted a Halo 3: First Tips article
- The New York Times posted a 'ho hum' article; I must include this quote:
For all its grand panoramas and its galaxywide narrative, Halo 3's plot feels like a bit of a throwaway, a rather short adventure with a predictable story and dialogue that is sometimes as hokey as something from an old John Wayne war movie.
The author felt that Halo 3 was simply Halo 2 with better graphics. - Binary Bonsai thought the story was a little obscure, but that the game was really fun anyway
More news coming soon - this was just a way to TRY and clear out the bulk of the backlog. (Louis Wu 14:46:17 UTC)
