I trust Vgchartz scores WAY more than I trust IGN's score's.

In fact Vgchartz is the website I agree with most. It's right up there with Gametrailers.

Even Naz's 96 for Halo: Reach?!

OT: I'm surprised though, I did expect high 8's across the board.

I stand by that review 100%. Reach is the best Halo game released to date, with armor powers completely overhauling multiplayer strategy. It also still has more content (game modes + forge world) than any other shooter released to date. With a campaign thankfully twice the length of the Call of Duty 4-Hour-Standard, fully playable in co-op. 

On paper I agree, and Halo rarely lets down in any department, it just doesn't feel like an incredible game to me. Mind no mainline Halo has since the first. I think I rank Halo Wars and ODST above Reach, Halo 2 and 3!

I like ODST a lot. After Reach it's probably my second favorite campaign... mostly because it's a Metroid Prime ripoff and that franchise has brilliant campaigns. Halo Wars had pretty music, nice graphics, and decent controls... but the strategy of it boiled down to what may as well have been an Uibisoft game named "Imagine RTSz." I can't play an RTS that simple in this day and age. It's like going back to Age of Empires 1. Such a shame that Ensemble was reduced to making console RTS games, then shut down. What a waste of talent. They proved they could make the best console RTS ever (and it is fun), but it just doesn't stack up.
