REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Story Of Halo 4 To Be "More Approachable", Terminals Will 'Blow Fans' Minds'

Posted on Wednesday, September 26 @ 13:28:47 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

Do you enjoy the Halo universe but have a bit of trouble wrapping your head around a few of the series' more obscure plot points? You're not alone, and the guys at 343i are well aware that not every person looking forward to Halo 4's campaign has read every novel, seen every terminal, or played every game.

In an interview with VG247, 343i's Frank O'Connor explained that they've aimed to tell the story of Halo 4 in such a way that appeals to both the hardcore fan and the casual player:
There’s a bunch of ways that we tell the story, and it’s very complete if you haven’t read any of the books or played any of the previous games. Everything you need to know about the characters, backstory and Forerunner civilization is built into the game. [We] tried to make the story more approachable and less baroque and obscure, so it’s all going to be right in your face, and hopefully people will enjoy that. But yeah, it’s all part of the story.
O'Connor went on to discuss the terminals within the game, and how they will offer plenty of additional story content that will please the loyal Halo enthusiast:
I won’t ruin it for you but we also have terminals that go into the very surprising history of the Forerunner relationship with humans, and there’s some stuff that happens in the terminals that willcertainly for the hardcore fansblow their minds.
343i announced earlier today that the game has officially gone gold and will include the Flood in a new multiplayer mode. For more news on Halo 4 and all things gaming, keep it locked to GameRevolution.

    Usually "more approachable" translates to "dumbed down".

    Well ****, I've played every single Halo game and I still don't get it. Lol. Rings blow up the universe and the aliens are some crazy religious sect. Thats about all I have.

    Oh and can't forget the flood which just magically shows up here and there for really no reason. And it talks once...

    The flood is a parasite that basically needs to keep feeding. The rings are called "Halo" and I believe they blow something up like you mentioned. In Halo 2, you see The Arbiter and apparently his kind has made a big oopsie lie, and The Arbiter wants to reveal the truth. He and Master Chief becomes partner to finish the war in Halo 3...which still remains, what's going to happen with The Flood?

    I sometimes wonder if the fact that i never had trouble following the story of Halo (even before I 've read the books) is a sign that I'm smarter than 80% (generous approximation) of Halo players, or I'm simply so whacked in the head that it works for me...
