The reason I generally don't like halo was that the only one I played was 3, I was expecting the world and a half in a video game comming from what 5mil pre-orders. We got it, I played it, I was extremely let down. For me to get into a shooter type game it needs to have something unique, something exploitable, something that you can truely master. Halo, is not that game, the reason Halo is so popular is BECAUSE it's so linear. Bungie did to the FPS what Nintendo's been doing all these years. Make a game thats accessable to everyone. Not one person can't pick up halo and not be able to play it. Its a VERY barebone FPS compared to MANY others on the market. Not necesarrily a bad thing, just not exactly "Combat Evolved." You pick up a gun, point it and something, and fire. I have MANY gripes with Halo 3 but I just won't get into them. I just find the game extremely simple, nothing really technical about it. AGAIN not bad, just not for me.
I was eagerly anticipating Mass Effect, and still am :) I'm just a bit dissapointed in Gametrailers for their review. Some of the things they docked points for in Uncharted Drakes Fortune (just beat, absolutely wonderfull game btw), they kind of let slide under the rug in Mass Effect. Not that I hate Mass Effect for it, I just find it kind of bias and puts a bit of an edge on the whole MS vrs. Sony type thing. No real gripe with Mass Effect, definate gripe with Halo.
