Michael Antwan's Breaks it Down: Breaking the 4th Wall: Halo Reach « Excerpt via Console XP

A long long time ago, in a console generation with no online passes or day one DLC, we were introduced to Halo. A franchise that made a lot of headway in only 10 years or so; with 6 games (not counting PC ports and the recent remake), several novels, comics, board games, and even a canceled movie project under it’s belt. Halo fans have a lot to be proud of. This year we’ll see Halo return in a big way with a brand new developer and trilogy in the works. What 343 Industries does with Halo is yet to be seen, for now let’s look back at the last official Halo title, and Bungie’s last contribution to the series, Halo Reach.

 

For starters Halo Reach isn’t the game adaptation of the novel The Fall of Reach, which is a damn shame because that book had a much better story to tell. One that actually works as a prequel to the original trilogy, and uses Master Chief. Instead we are introduced to an all new cast of characters, Noble Team; who aren’t relevant to the Halo Universe at all.
