Halo Reach Reviews

Critics are gushing, as they always seem to when a Halo game appears. Predictably prolix, Eurogamer rates Halo: Reach 90 out of 100 and calls its campaign "a solid 10 hours of seismic spectacle that rarely puts a foot wrong in its pacing or design."

GamePro awards the game a perfect five out of five stars, calling it "a fantastic swan song for [developer] Bungie," concluding that "the only thing missing from this impressive entry is a number '4' in the title, because for all intents and purposes, Reach feels like the next big thing in the Halo franchise."

Writing with a bit less polish (but no less enthusiastically), IGN awards the game an "incredible" 9.5 out of 10, describing it as "a parting gift from Bungie that should keep players entertained through to the next generation...and if any other console shooter can better it in that time it'll be one hell of a feat."

The accolades aren't universal. Wired gives the game a respectable (but nearer "good" than "great") 80 out of 100, calling the multiplayer "amazing," but writing of the campaign that "there used to be a big difference between annual, flogged-to-death franchises and event games like Halo, but that line is blurring...and Reach takes a couple of chinks in its armor for retreading ground."

Xbox 360 Slim

the Xbox 360 Slim runs much better. The system isn’t nearly as noisy as its older models, running on an advanced Valhalla chip set. But the system does get hot, and if you place your hand across the heat vent on the top of the console, you’ll certainly feel it.
The Xbox 360 Slim eliminates the “Red Ring of Death” problem, as it shuts down automatically when it senses it’s even close to overheating. While this does keep your system safe, it can be frustrating when you’re in the middle of a heated “Red Dead Redemption” session, only to drop out suddenly because of the safety standard.
Pricing and Bundles
Here’s where the Xbox 360 Slim comes at a disadvantage. The system package comes with the unit, necessary plug-ins and a wireless controller for $299 and that’s all you get.

Halo 3

“Halo” games, Bungie, can help answer that question. Over on Bungie,the company tracks how many people have played each of its games online in the previous 24-hour period. I kept an eye on the stats for “Halo 2″ throughout the weekend, and the number consistently hovered in the 4,000 to 5,000 player range. That’s not a heck of a lot. For comparison’s sake, “Halo 3″ has logged roughly half a million players in the past 24 hours, while “Halo 3: ODST” has around 40,000 players. (The “ODST” numbers are noticeably lower because it has fewer game types, as well as limited online matchmaking that forces you to play with friends.)
