Best Song On Halo 4

Although I did complete Halo 4's campaign a while ago, I cannot get this one song out of my head. When it played during the campaign, it was one of the greatest moments in my video game career. The power. The energy. The emotion it evoked. I almost broke down in an odd way. Like something  very sad was to happen and I didn't want it to happen but at the same time, I knew it was irreversible. That song is Arrival by Neil Davidge. When I heard that Martin O'Donnell wasn't making the music for this game, I was weary but Davidge has done an excellent job and hope he continues this excellence in the following games to come. For anyone who has not played the last mission in Halo 4, 'Midnight', I strongly suggest you do. Especially if you are a hardcore fan of the Halo franchise like I have been since it's birth. Song of the month? Arrival

Halo 4 Review - 343 Delivered

Speechless. Utterly speechless. Halo 4 is everything I wanted it to be and more. From the amazing continuation of the storyline to the online multiplayer, 343 delivered and blew my mind.

Graphics and Sound - The prologue cutscene at the beginning of the campaign was so realistic, my friends and I at first thought it was live action. The unloading of the guns and sound effects make you want to have nerdgasm after nerdgasm. Chief is back and looks as beautiful as ever.

Gameplay - The controls flow so beautifully together and all minor flaws from previous games that have irked gamers seem to have gone with the wind. This new Reclaimer Saga is VERY promising

Story - Without giving anything away, the story I can already tell will be good. I only managed to get through   mission 3 last night but Holy Hell. 343 did an excellent job of not leaking or teasing you with anything so there are plenty of surprises and everything in the story is new and fresh.

Flood Mood (Online) - SO COOL! From the abilities to the claw like weapon you have to the actually feeling that you are apart of the flood family! This is one of my favorite new additions to the Halo family

My friends and I got to the midnight launch at our GameStop at 5 PM and good lord it was worth it guys. If you haven't picked your copy up yet, please do ME a favor and get one. If you aren't a fan of Halo after this game, I will have words for you. Well that's all for me. Back to the game. Just had to write my review

Holy Lord... FORWARD UNTO DAWN

With Halo 4 days in reach, being the largest Halo Fan on the face of this galaxy, I had to view the Live-Action mini series. Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Part 5 will be released tomorrow and I am ecstatic and filled with energy. When Chief showed his appearance in the fourth episode, I had to hold in my girlish squeals as I cringed to my pant leg in excitement. The way they presented him with assassinating the Elite was beyond words in my opinion. Not one scene involving him was campy in any way and I am proud to be the Halo fan I am. Master Chief is God and that is all there is to say.
