Just curious - what kind of games deserve 10? The type that you cannot pass up? I'd say then Halo 3 is pretty much a 10.

imo any game you can play for over a year or two, and still find something new about it everytime you play it.

counterstrike, halo, etc.
 
Yeah I think I'll just stay here for the review coverage. Those review threads are good troll bait to keep most of them out of here though.
 
Here you go GAF. Enjoy!

IGN UK - 9.5

8 Presentation
Epic blockbuster stuff. The soundtrack is an 11th man, lending authority, excitement and gravitas and it’s all pulled off with expected aplomb.
8 Graphics
Make no mistake, this is next-gen eye candy. But we expected better graphics from Microsoft’s number one men.
9 Sound
Exemplary. From shell casings bouncing on the ground and dislodging fresh pebbles to Marty O’Donnell’s iconic and amazing soundtrack, it’s a genuine highlight.
9.5 Gameplay
What Halo does best. Solid. Professional. Has the touch.
10 Lasting Appeal
If you play over Xbox Live, this game is going to gobble your life like a cancer.

Daaayum, 1up FTW.
 
There are some discrepancies about images taken from different TVs.
Why don't we get it straight from an authoritative source.

where are you getting these shitty shots? you should play the game and see how beautiful it looks.
 
Well, it's always been a problem that some people don't know how to set-up/calibrate their different TVs/monitors correctly, but zzzz. The graphics are fine.

I like it! Normally I think the Hayabusa shoulders look weird w/o the Hayabusa helmet, but it looks really cool here. Nice one.
 
:O at that Guardian walkthrough on Gamevideos. The sound design and artistry are just phenomenal. How anyone can watch that video (the HD version) and think the games graphics are anything less than beautiful is beyond me.
 
From GameSpot Review:
The Bad

* Rewinding saved films doesn't work quite like you'd expect it to
* AI-controlled Marines can't drive to save their lives (or yours)
* Inevitable flood of prepubescent online players sure to hamper your enjoyment of the online modes.

WTF? How does that have an impact on the actual game when you're reviewing it before that even happens? I was going to bitch about the driver AI but I know I'd be crossing into fanboy territory there.

I actually do think this has an effect on the game for many people and will hinder their enjoyment of online. It's nitpicking and probably had very little relevance in the weighing of the score.
 
OMFG

I am actually crying with Joy. Yes I know I am a panzy but dear god. The king is freaking back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't think that's the only reason he didn't give it a 10. Jesus Christ, that's an excellent score, quit whining about tiny things.

Its not a Halo 3 problem, its a problem with online gaming. Every popular online game will have kids playing online..
 
Kotaku:
Taking into account breaks to eat and drink and... um, dispose of what I ate and drank, the game took 12 hours to play through on the second hardest, Heroic, level. I've heard playing through on Legendary takes about 20 hours and scores you an extended ending.

It's just hard to take reviewers seriously when they say stuff like this. How is it possible that it took these video game journalists twice as long as to complete the game as it took me?
 
Ok so the game is great now everyone knows it. I know it because palyed it ;)

So can we now get matchmaking up and running pleeeeeaaaaase? :D
