HALO ANNIVERSARY who's given in to the power of the franchise for next week???
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Just wondering who's getting this on release next week? I was adamant that I wouldn't pay almost €50 for it and would wait a few extra weeks until it bombs in price, which I'd imagine will happen relativity quickly.
However being a complete Halo fanboy I found myself this morning powerless to resist the urge to buy it and have now pre-ordered a copy. So go on own up if you're also going pay top price for this on release day and get access to its gaming brilliance wrapped up in shiny new 343 studios graphical yumminess before all the sensible people who'll get it nice a cheap.

No
Never understood what is so great about this franchise and I am proud I resisted the hype about buying reach as I knew I would hate as much as the others. I will gladly pass and leave it to the fanboys

I will get it at some point but as I still have not even finished reach I cannot justify it yet.

I`ve got Gears, Battlefield and now mw3 to play through still, as well as the impending Skyrim so i won`t be delving into my pocket for this one.

Can't decide. Just got Rage through the post today, doubt I'll play that, really wanna get AC:Revelations which is out the exact same day as Halo. Will I bother to play anything other than Gears 3. Probably not!

I will be getting this but probably not a day one release. My girlfriend is a huge halo fan and is currently playing through halo 1 with a friend every tuesday night (I get the house to myself yay!!) so it depends on how badly she wants to get it!! I might suprise her with it as special treat!!

I had it pre-ordered, but I cancelled it. I can't see me dragging myself away from Gears 3 long enough to play it and I've also got lots to do on Halo ODST and Halo Reach. I might get it at some point in the future though.

I've never been a big Halo fan, Halo 3 was my first. I might get it when it's a tenner, to see what all the fuss was about!

"Most HD remakes get a spit-shine that's on par with a remastered Hollywood classic, but Halo's makeover is more akin to the Star Wars Special Editions from the mid nineties."
If there was ever a quote in a review to completely put me off a game, that was it right there!

Nothing wrong with the special editions. Got a proper look at the snow monster for a change.
Here's some more review info on it.
Here's some more review info on it.
Tomorrow sees the release of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 exclusive Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
The game is an HD reworking of 2011 Xbox title sorts new visuals and new features, but is at core the very same game that established Halo as a gaming mega-brand ten years ago tomorrow.
“This is a game about the arc of a perfectly thrown grenade, a game about tense games of cat-and-mouse with foes as powerful as you, a game about constant improvisation with the tools at your disposal,” Edge noted, scoring it 9/10.
“It’s a game that always feels tactical, and a game that – even now – has the capacity to surprise. Allegedly, Bungie resisted the subtitle, but it’s as true now as it was then. It might be older, it might look younger, but this is still Combat Evolved.”
Official Xbox Magazine also went for 9/10, adding: “The love that's gone into this HD remake makes it more than worth its budget price. If you've never checked out this series, don't get bogged down by details: Halo is about a big bloke shooting cool guns at cool aliens in cool places. Ten years later, that's still enough.”
Eurogamer opted for 8/10, concluding: “This is no longer Bungie's Halo, though much of what made the original so successful is here and intact. It's an awkward reinvention that manages to be at once faithful and a little wide of the mark. But such is the strength of Combat Evolved, this is still an Anniversary that's worth celebrating.”
VideoGamer concurred with Eurogamer’s score, saying: “Bungie's iconic title was clearly an ambitious project, and this modern remastering sufficiently highlights what it was that made the original Halo: Combat Evolved such a landmark gaming moment to begin with. With Halo 4 perched on the horizon, now is a perfect time to look back before the series heads forwards."
