<p class="thoughts">I really liked Halo: CE. It was a strong game, and I've had a soft spot for the Halo story - I don't think it's particularly deep or told with finesse, but it's <em>fun</em>!</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Halo 2
|
|
<div class="accolades">
|
|
<span class="difficulty hard">Heroic co-op</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p class="thoughts">I've been telling myself I'm going to beat Halo 2 on legendary by myself since the day I beat Halo: CE on legendary. I feel the overwhelming urge to be able to say I've beaten the whole trilogy on the hardest difficulty! On the other hand, it's really goddamn hard.</p>

</div>
|
|
<p class="thoughts">These games weren't very deep, but they had decent shooting and good weapons. Resistance 2 didn't have co-op, so I didn't play it - I just watched my friend do it.</p>

|
<li>Killzone 3

<p class="thoughts">This game offered alternate color modes for colorblindness, which is awesome. Shame the dialogue and plot was so literally laughable.

|
|
<span class="achievement max">Broke one level</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p class="thoughts">My pal and I played this over one break, and we couldn't take it seriously. Once we beat it, we spent our hard-earned points on getting infinite ammo for a few weapons - and decided we'd try to unlock infinite ammo for every weapon. We didn't end up doing that, but we did get so practiced at going through one level - which drops the most money for the time you spend in it by <em>far</em> - that we beat the max difficulty time trial by <em>half</em>. The magnum in that game is ridiculously overpowered.</p>
