New Halo 2 Details

Grinn writes "Gamesarefun.com has obtained some new information about Halo 2. Most interesting is the ability to hold two weapons at once, each operating individually on the left trigger or the right." Although apparently sourced via a German site, this may be similar info to that contained in the new June issue of the US Official Xbox Magazine. And even if it's not due for a while, the Halo series continues to be a serious killer app for Microsoft's console.

Killer app alright... killing the Xbob...

Seriously folks, Halo is the ONLY thing I've ever heard anyone talk about being so wonderful on the Xbob. But geat real, it's a freakin' year and a half old launch title. I don't own one of those green and black endtables, and I don't ever intend to when I see how "amazing" thier titles are. The fact that Halo seems to be the only thing worth talking about for the Xbob a year and a half later is testimony to the fact that it's floundering in the Sega Dreamcast's spot on the console pecking order. Hell, last November there were more PSOnes sold than Xbobs in Japan. The PSOne!!!! Meaning more people wanted to spend money on playing old Playstation titles than spending money on playing new Xbob titles.

I hope Microsoft continues to take it in the teeth on this little venture. Whenever I walk into EBX and see nothing of interest but multiple console supported games in a section of wall less than half the size reserved for the PS2, it makes me feel happy that they're continuing to lose.

Microsoft can't do jack right untill version 3 of anything. While that's fine for software, I don't think the game console worlds developers, partners, and players will be so forgiving.
