Initially, we weren’t even thinking about Halo 4 nor in our wildest dreams would be actually be intrigued to play it for full price but after I got my hands on playing it, it instantly became an attraction to my interest. The Halo series had been repetitious for the past 5 years after Halo 3 with ODST and Reach but with the departure of Bungie, this game was made by Microsoft’s newest studio, 343 Industries. Halo 4 marks the long awaited return of Master Chief as the main protagonist and is set 4 years after the ending of Halo 3 in the storyline.
This game alone should be able to keep Microsoft’s dated 7-year old console flying off the shelves once again with their franchise player here. Along with the jaw dropping visuals for an extremely old Xbox 360 console, the main key ingredient about this game is the heavily enticing story mode. This game in my opinion could be up there with Halo 2 for the 2nd best Halo of all time. All longtime fans of the series have to buy this game this holiday season so save your lunch money and use your college refund checks wisely.
