IGN Plays It Cool About Halo 3
Tagged GeneralE3 is over (to be equally obvious, so is World War I) and I’ve gotten off my ass to make another post. This one is about IGN. I love IGN - sometimes their articles can get a bit sparse around E3-time, but it is forgivable. I used to even pay for their membership. They had an article about how the old pay accounts really got them off the ground and I think it was worth every cent of mine! I digress.
So I was reading IGN recently and I saw this article: Most Anticipated Xbox 360 Games of 2007. The results of this were decided by writers and editors… and pretty much anyone else they could find. Here’s my beef with their list - Halo 3 got hated on. Don’t get me wrong, I am not the biggest fan of Halo, but it really gets no love. It is one of those games that people love to hate. I don’t know if it’s because it’s so cliche to love it or what. However, Halo 3 should have made someone’s #1 because the story finally ends. I mean, c’mon… ROCK BAND makes #1 on Hil’s list? MTV games, Hil-dog… MTV Freakin’ GAMES! That’s all I have to say about THAT! *checks on its preorder*
All I’m saying is there is not enough homage being paid to what MADE AND MAKES the Xbox what it is. It is the characterization of your console (namely the Halo 3 version) and, no matter how much you like or dislike it, will always be in your game library… why? Because if you don’t like it, one of your friends will. Note: This game also makes it easy to tell if an acquaintance has any friends. So I am wondering why no one has this as #1 for most anticipated game! There is one #2, but that’s it. Halo is the Mario of Xbox… love it or leave it! Recognize, IGN… Recognize.
