Sad thing about all this Halo hype is... Bungie looks like one game developer for gamers en masse. Everyone seems to forget their previous efforts in genre like Marathon series which sets the ground for modern FPSs with it's new ideas in gameplay mechanics, not to say superior to most of contemporary shooters story, which was pretty well written (Marathon games were really heavy on text and background). Pathways into Darkness... blend of FPS, one of the most earliest horror game, role-playing (rogue-like style), some unique gameplay ideas like the ability to talk with dead (trigger word system, no dialogue threads), actually in PiD all NPCs were dead +Lovecraft-inspired story. Not bad at all. Halo was pretty much Marathon remake, sets in the same universe (but the whole bunch of story telling was omitted). Will be glad to see horror game a-la Pathways into Darkness made by Bungie, but that's unlikely, they're still very concentrated on Halo franchise.
