Genre: First-Person Shooter
Even as a slew of beloved game trilogies (like Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Killzone) are wrapping up their epic story-lines, Halo ( a.k.a. the Franchise That Saved the Xbox) will soon begin an entirely new three-part adventure. Halo 4, the first completely new game from developers 343 Industries, marks the return of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, last seen floating in space at the conclusion of Halo 3. The action picks up with Master Chief being revived by his faithful AI companion Cortana as their vessel approaches a planet inhabited by the Forerunners, an ancient race of advanced beings that once ruled the galaxy. The game’s developers have promised a grand and epic experience with an emphasis on exploration. To which we say, shut up — you had us at Halo.
