My Halo 4 Review (SPOILER FREE)

So I loves me some Halo and I decided to give my opinion about Halo 4 the latest chapter in this epic saga.  OK I will admit it I was scared about where the franchise would go after Bungie stepped away and 343 stepped in and took over.  That fear was misplaced.  I was afraid that this game would play differently that it would be a "Halo" game.  Again I was mistaken this game plays just like a Halo game.  I can move seamlessly from playing Halo 3 and into 4 and not feel like I am trying to relearn how to play a game.  The new enemies are amazing and admittedly I am still on my easy run through.  I always run through a game on easy for the first play through so that I can focus more on the story and less on trying to survive.  After I finish the campaign on easy I will move up and really start to get my teeth wet.  The story so far is amazing and the voice acting is even better than in past games.

Something brilliant that Microsoft and 343 did with this was the Forward Unto Dawn series they released through Machinima Prime was a great item to get my mouth watering and get me ready for the game.  I don't really want to go into it too much because of the possibility of spoilers.

I haven't had a chance to go through much of the multiplayer modes except for Spartan Ops which was what I was most excited to see and it is amazing.  I love the idea of these small ongoing  and ever evolving campaigns that keep giving you something fresh to do every week.  I do have to admit though that I have heard that so far they are only going to do it for the first 10 weeks after the launch but I hope that they decide to continue it after that period.  If anyone happens to stumble on this blog and has any info on if they are going to keep this going please comment. :)

OK so to sum it up this game is amazing and well worth the price.  It has everything that we have always loved about Halo and a couple of new things that are sure to be loved just as well.  I am hoping to start making these little blog posts a regular thing when new games come out and I have the money to purchase them.  The next one I think will probably be on Medal of Honor Warfighters I have been really excited to get my hands on that game and soon I will be able to do just that.

Good Gaming,

What A Week.

Well this was a crazy week.  Monday the hurricane rolled in and my company decided to close the office Monday and Tuesday and to have us work from home if possible well the power went out Monday evening and stayed out through till mid day Wednesday.  I know that there are many that are still without power so I am not going to whine and complain about it.  I did feel like I was heading down the route of Jack Torrance from The Shining because of not having electricity.  It is rough for me to be in a situation where I cant do anything about it.  Well Thursday they finally opened up the office and it was nice to be able to get back to work.  Thought honestly when I came in to work today I was as exhausted as if I would have stayed at work all week.   I am ready for a stress free weekend I want to just relax and watch some TV and play a little bit of video games.

I have also been doing a pretty decent job of not eating like a Big-Fat-Fatty.  I stopped trying to look at it like a long term goal.  I am now approaching it like I approached not smoking.  Every day is a new day.  I am not trying to get through the week.  Only trying to get through the day.  On Monday it will be 1 year without smokes.  It is kind of amazing to think that I was finally able to make the change.  What worked was each morning when I would normally stop for a pack of smokes I just went "Nah I will stop on my way home from work." Then when it was time to go home I would just go "Nah I don't feel like stopping right now." Eventually it was a week and then a month and here I am at a year.  Well I am going to try to finish up the rest of this work day. 

Blessed Be.
