“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The great game of our time: Or at least, that’s what I hope, and pray, is true. It looks spectacular. The cinematics, the story, the ideas, and the music that we have seen thus far all indicate a truly top-notch game. The initial reviews from critics are...

Or so we are told, anyway: OK, look, Microsoft isn’t so stupid as to kill off the iconic face of its most important, lucrative, and powerful revenue-generating franchise and brand. I have no doubt that this is part of the HALO 5 plotline; I also have no...

HALO 5: Guardians, that is- at least, judging by the opening cinematic: If there is one quibble that I have about that, frankly, jaw-dropping opening sequence, it is that the abilities of the new SPARTAN-IVs seem to be completely unrealistic. I mean, I’ve played...
