Did i <em>regress</em> and discover it? <b>Halo</b> appeals to a certain kind of gamer - the blood n' tits gamer, a category that knows no age restriction. Eight-year-olds play and enjoy <b>Halo</b>, so it's obviously not tailored to adults in the same way that, say, a movie like <b>The Constant Gardener</b> is geared to adults. Eight-year-olds wouldn't have such a swell time watching that movie. "M for Mature" is the biggest misnomer in our industry. There's nothing "mature" about the games that bear that rating.

Unfortunately games like Halo sell really well so the game companies reproduce them over and over with new skins to maximize profit, just like zombie flash games.

I almost picked up a PS3 but there ain't much out there that doesn't look like it's on the 360. Getting Halo: ODST for my birthday as I'm a Halo fan but I don't expect too much from it. A bit of entertainment at least. They all do start to feel the same don't they? I find the Indie games to be at least refreshing if not always original. Have to agree.
