Halo 4's E3 2011 trailer.Back in 2012 Halo fans experienced a rather nerve-wracking run-up to the release of Halo 4. The mantle had been passed from Bungie Studios to 343 Industries and the burning question was whether 343 could successfully recreate the ubiquitous features and mechanics of the series that we’d come to know inside out. The worries weren’t just over a beloved franchise being placed into new hands, they were also to do with who 343 are specifically. This is a company t...

More Halo, same silly story 0
Having played most Halo games (I skipped 4, mainly because of mixed reviews, and because I had plenty of other things to play a the time), I knew what I was getting into when picking up Halo 5. A campaign, solid multiplayer, with some extra twists to justifying the new game price. It pretty much delivered on these terms, with my favourite twists being the Warzone mode, which combines an objective based multiplayer with AI enemies and a levelling system. I found the campaign entertaining, with i...

More Halo, Pretty Fun 0
Halo cannot continue to just be dumb shit that doesn't progress, as much as I'd like it to. Halo 5 has to continue on the Halo 4 tradition of a story, one that I... frankly don't give a shit about because it's Halo, but whatever. So Halo 5 is a lot of fun. It's dumb, it controls fantastically and if I have an hour to just blow through a mission, I will. The graphics are fantastic, the frame-rate in general is great, the soundtrack works but most importantly, it just plays great... and to me, tha...

This game doesn't have any guardians...or maybe it does. 0
While the previous four games were well received, I don't think the same can be said for the fifth entry. This is where, unfortunately, things started to go wrong.The trailers had story elements that weren't in the final game, whose graphics, as per usual in the franchise, are very amazing. In the trailers, Locke is hunting down Master Chief, but in the game, he wants to help him. The whole Master Chief vs. Spartan Locke is blown up to seem more important and larger than in the actual campaign, ...

Fantastic multiplayer bolsters an underwhelming campaign. 0
Halo 5: Guardians probably has the worst single player campaign of any Halo game to date. The story is a ludicrous fan fiction that has taken the series pretty far off the rails and into over the top, quasi-anime territory. The levels are all fairly linear shooting galleries with too little variety and few of the set piece moments that Halo games have been great at in the past. Luckily, the multiplayer mode is in the best place its been since Halo 3, with excellently tuned new game modes highlig...
