Halo: Reach. It's been touted by many as being the most hyped up game of 2010, and for good reason. This is Bungie's "Swan Song" to Halo, the last game they will ever make before they move on to whatever new IP they've had simmering on the back-burner. Sure Microsoft's 343 Studios is still going to carry on the Halo name, but it will never have that Bungie flair that everyone's come to know and love. After Reach, Halo will never be the same, which begs the question, did Bungie go out on a Martin O'Donnell inspired high note?Due...

Earlier tonight I posted an article about Deus Ex: Human Revoloution. Mant of you all commented and were dissastisfied with something I said. As you might already know, I am a very sarcastic person. One of the hardest things about me writing is being able to control how people perceive sarcasm. Obviously my sarcasm didn't come through well in this article. I did not mean to upset anyone nor did I intend to sound like a jackass. What I meant was that this video is really good and I wanted you to pay attention to the video over...
