The books might go deep (I don't know, I've never read them but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt) but that doesn't make the Halo games deep. The Halo game stories are actually sub-par even for generic sci-fi stories. But hey, thanks for the good laugh. It's been a long day and I needed one of those. |
With respect, twesterm, I think you may be missing the fact that Halo takes pretty standard sci-fi staples and executes them really well.
I watched an anime today called "Voices of a Distant Star". It's short -- just 30 minutes -- but most critics think the world of it. The basic story framework is the most cliche "1980's sci-fi anime" throwback you can imagine, but that story is told so beautifully and so well that you instantly forgive it.
The story of Halo is nothing special, but it is told very well.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
