Halo: Reach

If it's really that good, why am I spending this week's dole money on a scooter for my son's third birthday, rather than buying this?

I am still struggling to purge the memory of the "sphincter" level towards the end of Halol 3. An abomination of game design.

Bitter.......

Obviously...

@Jimmer you could always get a job

What? And have no time to play games????

Still no joy with the job? You should do some game reviewing...

Cheers

Tim - heading down south in October for beer and PES - Smith

Starting uni full-time in 12 days!

I would have some spare time to review games but the pay is awful and I can earn a lot more doing web design.

Let me know when you are down - would be ace to see you.

The solo game is as good as it ever was(which is great), but the multiplayer game has an unfair matchmaking system, as it puts you in with extremly good players and not players of your level. they should base their multiplayer stats on you kill/death ratio and head shots instead of where you have ranked up in the game, as this only indicates how much time you have played the game and not how you where during these games. head hunter can be extremely frustrating, in one game I got one skull to 25 skulls for the winner, aaarrrgh.(still love the game)

@Tim_Smith Long time no see. Hows things going? Never heard back so couldnt even get any feedback which is sad.
Halo:Reach is a good game but nothing id go overboard with. I eventualy got fed up of the pure run and gun gameplay and jumped to sonic adventures :(

Sorry Matthew, I still have your work and half of my feedback on it, which I've not sent back given that it's not 100%. I'm going to plead busy on this one. And I mean it, getting Joypod onboard as well as a great deal of other SPOnG-related work has meant that I've... let's be honest, I've been plain discourteous.

I'll make time next week. I appreciate the time you took.

For everybody else, Matthew has a very, very interesting take on game reviewing, which treats the reader as a gamer and is highly detailed. I hope to bring you some of his work, when I stop bleating about being busy.

Cheers, as ever,

Tim - from home, you really don't want to see that!

Wow that is stunning news as I thought I did such a disastrous job or email system marked me as spam (curse of iphone emailing). As you can properly tell I have little confidence in my skills even though people tell me to push forward. I have had to be extremely careful with time due to balancing main work and my website development. I have been trying to search for answers but hard to predict if payoff is worth it. Apologies for emails as might seem abit pushy in which I again apologise. Work as been tense and I have been focusing too much energy into projects. I still highly envy your job so glad you are busy. There are worst jobs to be in that is for sure.

*on Topic* I have specifically bypassed Halo: Reach as a review possibility due to the hype and energy used to just market it vastly feeds off the over loyal fan boy/girl base backing it.
In short it is a risky thing to review if you break down the flaws to their core; sadly that is what I do...
