  1. I dont know why.. by bluewee · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...these reviews are so late, my copy of the game has been blowing me away for a week or so since I got it. Also my parents have been praising my newly learned language, French... :D

  2. Not soo good... by grazzy · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've been playing this game for almost two weeks now, and yeah well, I gotta tell you, it has a couple of flaws.

    1) Everyone speaks french? What is up with that?
    2) It doesn't work with xbox live gameplay...
    3) My xbox now says I'm banned from xbox live?!

    I give it 5/10 for good efforts, but why french??

    Remember to stress these points when making flamebait posts about Halo 2:

    1. Same tired gameplay
    2. Repetition
    3. The console FPS ALWAYS sucks

    Thank you.

  7. Recycled mediocrity by mojotooth · · Score: 4, Funny

    Let's be honest. Halo 1 was only popular because it was the first exposure most non-computer geeks had to first-person shooters. Anybody who played Doom, Quake, Descent, Quake, Tribes, UT, or any other classic fps were left shouting "WHY are they expecting me to play an FPS with these two stupid sticks?"

    Halo 2 is just a slight extension of the same thing. I can't understand why H2 is getting great reviews in the same way that I just can't fathom how Dubya got 58 million votes.

    Therefore I blame the religious right wing for Halo 2's reviews.

    Congrats, you've exposed the Penny Arcade Secret Formula:
    1) Read messageboards to figure out what people are saying about games
    2) Put the majority opinion into a comic strip
    3) ITS TEH FUNNAY CUZ ITZ SOO TRUE.

    You know, I feel the same way about Jazz. I don't like it much or listen it much, other than Kenny G, but I have a strong desire to criticize it despite my complete ignorance.

    any economist would tell you they did the right thing.
    so, essentially, they did the wrong thing.

    It was the story in Halo that I loved.

    Me too. Those red and blue guys standing about making jokes cracked me up. Are they still in Halo 2?
