A Tale Of Two Halos (Reviews)
The key to reading reviews is knowing who to trust. I present you with two different looks at Halo 3.
First, we have the well-regarded and prolific Tom Chick on Halo 3.
“And for those average guys and the occasional average girls, whether they play online or not, this single player story will be the face of gaming: as retarded, confusing, and juvenile as ever.”
Next, we have the mainstream site Joystiq with their thoughts on Halo 3.
“And it’s Halo 3’s ability to produce these moments of awe — to embody sheer awesomeness — that often transforms the scrutinizing gaming veteran into a wide-eyed child. Halo 3 is so much fun.”
So, which review do you have more faith in? Which one do you believe more? I’m sure you can guess which one I think is more accurate…
Hi,
So, Tom Chick says it’s braindead and juvenile
That other guy said it’s gob smacking beautifull and fun.
I don’t see where these reviews conflict
I mean, it’s a shooter, what on earth could you expect from a shooter but beautifull, brainless, fun action ? Ok, Half-life managed to get a story in, and it’s rightfully thought of as the classic of the genre, but that’s the exception that proves the rule.

You think Microsoft and Bungie are losing sleep over Tom’s comments?
Man, I want to develop a game that lets me have a license to print money, too.
