Halo 2
Picoreview: I think I played this game before. Except last time I couldn’t play multiplayer online, so I guess that’s a win.
Less pico: So far, nothing earth-shattering. Dual-wielding weapons is neat. Things look a little prettier. I played a bit of the single-player campaign, and it was okay but didn’t blow me away.
I think I’m basically bored with the “run down a hallway shooting all the bad guys” FPS thing, and even though this iteration is nicer than the last one, there’s a strong feeling that I’ve just played this before over and over and over. I didn’t finish the single-player campaign in the first Halo, and I bet I won’t finish this one either.
Maybe I’ll be more positive on the game after I’ve spent more time with multiplayer.
