I hope it's never.

I just think people who will get to rate it will be HUGE Halo fanboys and rate it a 10 before they even get to play it. Fair reviews no a days is just expecting way to much in my opinion. So yea, I don't care what some biased nit-wit reviewer will say about the game. Last I check it's more of the same, and doesn't deserve good marks unless they did a total 180 from the previous games. But even the graphics looks the same, they cannot even make it look good. And for multiplayer it looks even worse, god knows why they downgrade it. It's not like Halo campaign is even that demanding.

I am just saying, hate most "big game" reviews, especially when they come out early. They only get permission if it's good, or other stupid stipulations. Not like they can do what ever, they sign a contract/agreement. Everyone has some objective, and how shady MS has been recently, I expect nothing more but something pathetic. I will honestly be happy if Halo Reach gets a "9.0" from IGN and stuff, so I can actually read it and see faults. Halo's have been far from perfect and a lower-ish rating will probably be the "real" reviews. When games are exclusive, this is where it's worst in my opinion. Cause sometimes reviewers give the feeling that they are standing up for a console, rather than rating the game alone.


I hate review sites, they need to have like 5-10 people review a game for a average score. So one biased idiot doesn't ruin it. I like honest reviews from objective people. It's like, all cause I think Uncharted 2 is in the top 2-3 best games this generation, I still wouldn't give it a 10. Sorry for many rant, just thought I'd say how I hate what campany's do, on both sides of the spectrum.

XD, there's always one.

I told ya at least one in every thread i make!

Careful, don't fall into the trap yourself. I could see someone arguing about that trolling the PS3, as it does have other games slated, GT5 being their big one.

And I think we got a lot more trolls from the XBL price increase thread.

Anyway, subject. It'll be interesting to see how this stacks up review-wise, in contrast both to prior Halo games and to the other big name shooters, specifically, Black Ops. I personally want Reach to beat Black Ops, but we'll see...

IGN are massive Halo fans.  They'll score it probably the highest review it will get.  Well IGN and Gameinformer I think will both give it between 9.5 and 10.

The review that worries me is GameTrailers since Shane has been on an anti Halo Reach campaign since the game was announced for some reason.

They gave Halo 3 a 98, so we'll have to see. Hopefully he aint the one reviewing it.
