I'd say dang, but I also expected those kind of review scores.

Lol, that tells you how much is in Halo Reach if the "Quick" Look vid is 45 minutes long....

I want to watch it but they start off on campaign stuff.

Re: Halo: Reach

It doesn't spoil anything, Cyros. It's a random mission and you hear practically none of the dialogue. Dont even think there was a cut scene.

Wow... now those are some reviews.

Re: Halo: Reach

$25 gift card with purchase Tuesday at Toys R Us

[ExtremeGamer]

Re: Halo: Reach

Considering we'll buy my Son's Xmas gifts at Toys R Us, that's a winner there. $35 for Halo Reach on release day, SOLD.

For the record, I loved Halo 1 and loved ODST, only 2 Halo games I actually played single player for. But found 2 and 3 to be two of the most overrated games I've ever played. Didn't care much for either.

Reviews have me sucked back in though.

Really aside from the first one, no one has bought the sequels for their single player. Their huge drawing appeal is the multiplayer. I found the singleplayer in both 2 and 3 to be pretty bad, but I still played the game a ton because of the multiplayer. I guess if you are not a fan of the multiplayer in Halo then you won't get the hype on the games.

I liked the single player from 2 and 3, but yeah I spent most of my time with those games in multiplayer. I imagine other people who played both of those games a lot are in the same boat. I'm glad they've improved on the single player game and built a good campaign, but I'm mainly getting Reach for multiplayer and firefight.

Re: Halo: Reach

I can say the reviews are pretty accurate. I'm having a blast on SP and played a good amount of MP last night and this is my GOTY and I haven't even really touched the surface yet. About 2 hours into SP

I thought that Halo 3 was a huge failed turd. Only Halo game I only played for like 3 months before getting tired of the BR.

And I was up this morning Flight! Lol

My bad Candy. The wifey had me doing all kinds of crap. Wish she would go somewhere. Lol.

Re: Halo: Reach

Hey, to those of you who got the game early I will be on all night tonight if anyone else wants to get on and play some. I will be on after the Redskins/Dallas game tonight. Maybe earlier if the game gets out of hand.
