the halo novels they have already released are actually pretty sweet: the only bad one was the one covering the first game: cos the felt the need to give you a walkthrough of master-chief going through the game... the "stuff everybody else was up to" is cool.
They've done a good job of creating a very detailed world, with massive level of detail missing from the game itself
sounds like a standard "Your stuff sucks, I going to sue you, and your little dog too..."
"Thats nice sir. You wouldn't have invalidated your warranty by making any modifications to this?"
"Errmm, thats not the point, I'm going to tell everyone on the internet that you suck!!!!"
"you are aware that would constitute slander sir?"
"Aaarrghh" ###SLAM!!!!###
I've seen most of this before in various places, although the colourful comparisons lift it above the normally high school-like accounts.
I think the writer could do with a few more palentology lessons before reassessing the comments on JP though.
He seems to have a biologist's preconceptions that life then is exactly the same formula as life now... with species occupying identical niches to those today, a vision that's as alien and unreal as the pro-evolutionist's "Noah couldn't get the triceratops up the gangplank" to what actually comes out of the ground from the fossil record.
The debate over swamp dwelling versus gyraffe model for sauropods will continue to run and run, probably past successful cloning, until some bright slashdotter builds a time machine, and heads off to see. My money's on a animal that sleeps in the water, and comes ashore to feed....
