Having been an avid gamer since I was young I’m naturally quick to toss words like nostalgia around in reviews, that being said this game is basically the game that defined the word’s true meaning.
This game is beautiful in a manner which even my younger, less observant self could recognise. Super Mario games have never since come close to that of Galaxy and indeed I'm sceptical they ever will.

Halo 3: ODST is one of those sleeper hits that as time goes on, you feel more and more fondness for. I’ve played it countless times, as I have all mainline Halo games, but each time I do I find that ODST has something new for me to appreciate, whether it be fine details, B plots, deep mysteries or a strangely compelling mood. It’s not the most active fun, nor the best designed nor the most complete package, but despite this it does manage to be my guilty favourite from the franchise.
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.

Halo 2 is honestly a little overrated, the story is pretty good and the Arbiter stuff is a cool twist, but I struggle to look past the disappointing gameplay and level design. Maybe it’s just me but I kinda feel like the game peaks during the Earth missions, and then there’s Legendary which in Halo 2 is completely unbalanced, you need the patience of a saint to finish a Legendary playthrough. Overall I don’t think it’s the worst of the franchise, but it’s far from it’s best.
