The problem with Halo is that the game is mainly an FPS. Games like this only have so many successors before they are retired. Mario lasts long because he is a platformer and he is culturally etched into the hearts of children and adults who grew up with him 20+ years ago. The Halo war cannot go on forever. God of War will die with the third game and that makes perfect sense. Microsoft better think of a successor and fast, because you can only too so much with Master Chief and the Halo universe. The only reason Microsoft hasn't let it go is because it is the highest grossing title. If the only way i'll agree to the Halo universe continuing is if a new threat came to earth. Nintendo created characters that forever will be loved by adults and children alike and in their worlds there is always another battle. Mario never gets old....we do.

not so fast if youve read the halo books then you know that halo has one of the most AMAZING storylines in existance. Halo Wars and Halo: Reach is just the begining of what they can do. And i gaurentee you they would not get old if M$ uses more of the story and maybe creates a game based on each book. Yes the story really is that good and doesnt only involve Master Chief. THey could make lots of main characters and reinvigorate the series much like ODST is going to do

Yeah, but in this gen both Killzone 2 (better graphics) and Gears (better graphics and gameplay) make Halo look that much older. Throw in the weak story mode of Halo 3 and you have the beginning of the end of Halo. And it doesn't matter what is in the Halo books because from a gaming standpoint what mattered was Cortana and Master Chief.

Not these new guys they are throwing in to replace Master Chief and Cortana to try to extend the series past its expiration date. We all know how replacing Mulder and Scully on the X-Files and the original Duke Boys on The Dukes of Hazard turned out for those respective franchises.

Yes its so weak that its selling better than Gears 2 AND Killzone 2 on a weekly basis despite being a year older right? You'd think by now gamers would realize that it sucks right?
