Last Halo2 Update
The Bungie team posted the last weekly update on Halo2 today. It seems like November 9th is only seconds away...yet miles ahead. I can't belive it will be here within 15 days.
The update talked about martketing (TV spots, unkown really where, but they start next week). Nothing much...but it was very sentimental. Goodbye Mister Cheif...

First Halo 2 Reveiw
OXM's December issue is in the mail already, and with it is the reveiw for Halo2. I'll save you the suspence, it gets a 9.7/10. Very, very good. Thats a better score than Ninja Gaiden, Halo 1, DOA, PGR2 and others.
Look for the online reveiws at IGN, Gamespot and TeamXbox to go online the first week of November.
15 DAYS!!!

BC (Suspended) Canceled
Lionhead (meaing biggy Peter "Hot Shot" Molyneux) annouced BC has been "suspended". Looks like this won't be coming out on the Xbox. At least, Xbox 1. Big surprise. Like he would actually relase TWO games on a single system?!? No way...Peter takes at LEAST 5 years before a new title comes.
Oh well...there ae tons of other games, something Peter seems to forget sometimes.
Peter, if your reading this, hows the weather up there, above your larger-than-life concided braggy little self-abosred "the video game industry is because of me" head?

Starting Halo Again
I've begun my final journey down the Halo path...with 18 days untill H-Day, I have startewd my last romp through Legendary. Its tough, but I'm a seasoned vertern. With 3 years, 10 Easy, 5 Medium, 2 Hard and 4 Legendary (by myself) beats to my credit, this is no big deal. But it is historic. It marks the end of an era. Actually, it is the begining of the end, as I'm still on board the Pillar. But I've got 18 days. November 7th the madness begings. That Sunday is my last LAN party, marked by 16 of my closest freinds. The winner, we have decided, shall get first team, color and everything else for our Nov 10 Halo2 Tourny. We long decided that Nov 9 would be a "alone day" for privite worship, during our first rimp of the Campaign. I plan to make prepartations for a toal alone day...no phone, no PC talk, nothing.
So here it goes, the begining of the End.

"Survivor" Annouced
No, its not a game based on the TV show by the same name. Its a game hat makes you "survive" modern tradegys, like Titanic, Hiroshima, Hurricane Andrew and, 9-11. Obviously, the last one offers up some heavy debate over wheter or not its morally correct to make aprofit off of the loss of life. Whats 0dd is that most of debate dosn't care about Titanic....I geuss time does heal wounds.
This was bound to happen, however, this title interests me a lot, if it ever gets released. I can just see all the Oprah mindless moms marching Wal-Mart for this one.
Heres just a little debate from TeamXbox:

I've had some time to rethink this, and to me, its more a matter of respect and point of view. I personally think that some of the more recent event scenarios mentioned, such as 9/11, may hold a bit more controversy than say the Titanic incident. I remember the day vividly and sat glued to my television for almost five straight hours during that day, so for me, and those who were even closer or actually involved, one could see where the dissrespectfull and revolting reactions might come to play. However, you could also take it in the sense that, as you're given the opportunity to play through these tragic, yet historical events, you might come to appreciate the magnitude of suffering that people actually went through and what they had to do to survive. It may give you a greater insight into history or a new perspective on world events.In short, I'm undecided, but it basically comes down to your personal moral and ethical views on the events and their subsequent game development. I'm pretty sure I won't be buying this title, but for some people, it may be their thing.

i agree w/ most of you here...it's a disrespectful idea that someone is trying to cash in on these tragic events. Innocent people died...gamers shouldn't enjoy a game based on these horrible incidents.

I'm glad everyone here seems to have their wits about them, with the simple exception of Dugath, whose pathetic attempt at attacking the violent nature of WAR BASED video games in an effort to defend a game based around the most horrific events of history appalls me and allows me to confirm how stuid and gullible today's society is. I can understand wanting to empathize with events many of us didn't live through, like Hiroshima, the Titanic, or say... the eruption of Pompei (though it's cleary not included since no one survived).But this is a commercial endeavor designed to make money, first and foremost, and to that end, it's horribly disrespectful, especially to those who DID love through those more recent events. As far as Dugath's points: In those games, those Japanese/Vietnamese/Arabic/German whatever characters, ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU. It is their sole intent to destroy the player character.This is a game that surrounds the deaths of thousands of innocent people, often times at the hands of cruel madmen, or (in Hiroshima's case), because of a hugely destructive, soul-scouring mistake, one which has never been (thankfully) repeated since, and one for which many of the participating country still feel a small sense of shame or guilt. If a game was made about surviving Auschwitz or one of the other nasty murder-camps, Germany would **** a proverbial brick.

Ok, here's the breakdown. If they make this historically accurate, I'm fine with that. However, I will not buy it. There is no way they will be able to make me feel like I am in an actual situation. There is no way I will feel the loss of a digital "person" as I have with close friends and family.BUT, if that same company makes a game where I can truly feel like I am putting my hands around a terrorists neck and get the satisfaction of squeezing the life from him, put me down for two copies.

I actually like the concept. Considering NONE of us were in any of those . Maybe the last two. But to feel what it was like sounds pretty cool to me. Id give more respect out of knowing what it was like.

LoL you guys are funny.. things happen.. get over it. Its not like they are poking fun at anything.. where is all your *****ing about games thay portray you playing an american killing off people in vietnam or some other opponent in some sort of war game..cant have it both ways..so what a ship sunk..a tornado hit..big deal its in the past..but yet I find it funny how americans find it okay and even entertaining to play a game where it simulates killing Vietamese people or Japanese people.. oh ya.. thats moral. loosers.

Simply a horrible idea. In all of these actual events multiple innocent people died for no reason what so ever. Figures it takes a german company to make a game like this. Assholes!
