Halo 3
Halo 3 is now well and truly out. Microsoft expects great things from this game, such as that it will drive the company’s video game division to its first profitable quarter since… ever. Me, I’ve never been much for the Halo games, but that’s mostly because I don’t much care for online deathmatch and anybody who says the single-player’s worth a damn is deluded. That aside, I have no doubt that Halo 3 is going to be everything everybody expects it to be, which is to say "Halo 2 but more so." Really the only thing I find especially interesting about the whole launch is this fine quote from Gamespot’s negatives column: "inevitable flood of prepubescent online players [will be] sure to hamper your enjoyment of the online modes." God damn those other players trying to enjoy themselves in my way like that. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY FUCK WITH THE KING?
