STORM2K

Do any of you like Halo? If you do do you know when Halo 2 is coming out. First it was last October, then it got bumped up to June, and now next November!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! They say that they are updating the grpahics. I suppose that's a good thing but still. It's been killing all of us Halo lovers waiting. Gee kind of like us here, we're waiting. Whatever.....

Can I ask what is Halo?

Halo is a first-person perspective shooter game for the X-box...I have it myself and am a HUGE fan...unfortunately I don't know myself when it is coming out...but plan to get it when it does...

"Stow yer belly-aching, soldier" (Quote from Halo)

Like CCS said, it will be released in November -- the 4th to be exact. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412799/releaseinfo

You can actually find more than just movies on imdb.com (Internet Movie Database). TV shows and video games are listed by title. If you search and see "(TV)" or "(VG)" next to a title, then you know it's not a movie. That way, actors' credits can be given for those as well as for movies. I just wish they'd include commercials also.

I haven't played Haylo but XBox mag had a huge spread last month on it. It will be 5 times the size of the original.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Jeremy, have you ever played Myst or Riven?

Okay...okay, I know that those are old school but if the awsomely realistic and beautiful graphics don't hook you, the music will (as long as you have a quality sound card backed up with quality speakers).

Only problem is (as far as I know) there's no X-Box version of either game.

Myst bugged the heck outta me! I don't have an ear for music, so I couldn't get past the part in the spaceship where you have to adjust the controls to the tones from the piano.

I dont have X-box- but have a friend with Halo and love to go play it... According to the x-box site, it should be out November 4th. Game stores here in jax are already letting people reserve their copy so its gonna be big

No I never have played either of those...BTW a little off the subject of shooter games but I just tried SSX Tricky this afternoon...I crashed SO many times it wasn't funny!

Whether you liked it or not, don't do like me and give it to someone else when you're finished. These games (especially Myst) are considered classics and will appreciate in value considerably in years to come. You could be sitting on a gold mine.

Thanks, but actually it wasn't mine to begin with. After a couple of nurses with whom I worked in the ER managed to conquer it (together, of course), they let me borrow it. They were talking about how it took a few days to finish it. They weren't kidding -- and I never did.

I've played and solved both and Riven is actually the better of the two. The only problem I have is that it's such a hassle replacing the disks everytime you go from one age to the next.

There's a part in Riven (Prison Island) where the sea looks very much like the real thing. (I ought to know, since I see the sea practically every day!)
