Halo Reach Turning Ugly
Things are getting pretty ugly in Halo Reach, and I don’t mean the graphics, which are pretty good. ***Spoiler Alert*** Do not read if you don’t want spoilers One of the unique features of Halo Reach (at least compared to the other Halo games I’ve played) is the presence of your Noble Team comrades.

Halo Reach Space Fighting is Fun!

Halo Reach Not Bad So Far
I managed to get a couple hours of play (well, more like an hour – see below) in for Halo Reach last night and it was pretty good. I had forgotten how to steer the warthogs, so I was having a miserable time for a while, but eventually remembered and that made things better. I…
