Halo

So, this week saw us with the release of the final installment of Microsoft's "Halo" series. "Halo : Reach". Reach takes us to the year 2552, just before the start of the first Halo game; "Halo : Combat Evolved". 
I think the end of one of the best game series ever created deserves a little lookback at what started this breathtaking game series, and what brings it to a close. So, lets see how far I get before the nostalgia hits me too hard, or the frustration of not having a XBOX 360 to play Reach on :(


Halo : Combat Evolved saw us on The Pillar of Autumn just after the planet Reach had been destroyed by the Covenant. The starship crash lands on a Halo, an enormous ring shaped artificial planet. As you progress through the game, (playing as the Masterchief). After the Masterchief and Cortana gather up human survivors and rescue Captain Keyes, Keyes orders the Masterchief to locate the rings control centre and discover what the ring's purpose really is. What follows is a journey involving releasing the flood, following an electronic eye and self-destructing the Pillar of Autumn.


Halo : Reach takes place upon Reach. One of the planets the humans had colonized after discovering faster-than-light travel, and one of the planets we know from Halo 1, that was destroyed by the Covenant. You play a Spartan who has joined "Noble Team". The Noble Team is sent to Reach to find out why a relay station went offline, unknown that the Covenant had taken over the planet. I won't spoil anymore ;)

    Halo Reach was pretty amazing and I want Halo ODST but I don't think I'll like Halo Wars too much
