I played this game only after it was patched, so obviously my views are more positive than others, that being said I loved the setting, characters, quests and story. Or in other words, this game is very nearly my idea of the perfect RPG.

Halo: Combat Evolved is by today’s standards a fairly quaint shooter game which is far more arcade than competitive, however, I find that it has aged much better than you might expect. It’s gameplay is surprisingly well balanced and fun, its story is maybe a little simple but by no means bad, it’s level design is also very good but unfortunately is often found recycled after the halfway mark.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

This game despite it's greatness just serves as a further reminder of the creative incompetence of both Activision and Hasbro. A wonderful sequel that manages to improve on almost every aspect of an already great game, the one major critique I can think to mention is the choice to not continue the co-op features of the previous title for this campaign, not quite a deal breaker just a little disappointing. Still a ton of fun.

Like GTA Online I have lost countless hours playing this game, however, unlike GTA Online I don’t really regret any of those hours, and given what happened to GTA Online I’m still unsure if it’s abandonment was a curse or blessing.

What a time it was to play this game during its redemption, it’s still too soon to use a work like nostalgia, but a certain fondness definitely persists.

I was always aware of the popularity these games possessed, but honestly I was still completely blindsided the first time I played them, highly recommend to any fan of Sci-Fi or RPGs.

Pretty cool real-time-strategy game, but I think we all know that mods were this games true saving grace.

This is my idea of the perfect Borderlands game, fun world, characters and quick wit, but without the repetitive gameplay, apologies if that ruffles any feathers. Tales however managed to tell a compelling story and bridge the gap between myself and this franchise which on account of the fascinating world is done almost effortlessly.
