Halo: Reach (360)
We’ve heard stories of the Halo series ending for some time now, but while they keep announcing games we’ll keep anticipating them, because love it or hate it; Halo is a massive deal to a large number of people. This latest title ditches the real-time strategy tangent entirely and focuses on what made the series popular in the first place – solid first-person shooting.
The game will be set in the year 2552, before the events of the original Halo: Combat evolved and act as a prequel, focusing on a war on the planet Reach, “as a fictional planet, [Reach] was just a great candidate to play around with. It's such a rich world, with such a great fiction surrounding it," said Marcus Lehto, creative director. He then goes on to explain how setting the game on such a fascinating planet allows them to, “build an immense story with it,” which we’re sure will be great.
A multiplayer beta has been announced for May 3, but players will need a copy of Halo 3: ODST to act as their portal. So if that sounds like your thing make sure you don’t miss it. No official release date has been given as of yet, but stay tuned.
