September 15, 2010. Game enthusiasts all over the world lined up for their chance to defend the colony of Reach from the notorious Covenant invaders that threaten humanity’s existence. Many people even forfeited paychecks and gas money to get their hands on the first-person shooting experience. But what’s with all the hype? What has people ditching sleep and camping out in front of TV’s and 360’s? Reviews rave it’s an epic prequel to the idolized crusades and, unlike its antecedent ODST, has a more upbeat tone. Although defeat is inevitable, it focuses on the heroic aspect of their battles, giving players a sense of self-sacrifice and empowerment. As expected, Halo: Reach offers several varieties of “armor abilities” to keep player and adversary on their toes. Being Bungie’s final Halo production, gamers everywhere are relishing their last opportunity to explore the far boundaries of all that the Halo saga has to offer. So raid the couch cushions, wash some cars, do what you must to get your hands on this exhibition of testosterone at its max.
