Gamers Temple Halo wars review

"And harp… yeah, they lose their harp too. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be responsible for taking the wings Clarence (the angel from It's a Wonderful Life) wanted so badly, just because of those four little letters gracing the top of the game's box. Quit reading this, head to the store and buy something that isn't Halo Wars."

"The cutscenes look pretty good (though admittedly, I recently finished Killzone 2 on the PS3… I might be a little harsher than normal because I can't help but compare, not just this game, but every game to Killzone 2's best-ever visuals)"

Are you kidding me? Did he actually say KZ2's cut scenes are better than Halo Wars? I'm sorry but the Halo Wars are fully rendered CGI that KZ2 could never even come close too. The fact you make this comparison is ridiculous but to think you actually believe KZ2's cut-scenes look better is beyond me.

This review basically goes against every review for the game I've read. He actually says it's not RTS noob friendly? What?

It's your opinion, but I disgree and the score is in an insult to one of the very few successful and entertaining RTS on console.

Yeah it just sounds like another jealous sony fanboy rant. The cut scenes in Halo Wars is easily some of the best I have ever seen and much better than Killzone 2. But really shocks me is that it seems that he was having trouble with EVERYTHING. Not noob friendly? Wow. He would probably give a game like Starcraft a 1 out of 10 than.

ThunderSpark5534d ago

Comparing Halo's cut scenes CGI to Killzone 2 in-game graphics? LOLLLLL

Any body can pull off great cut scenes.

In-game graphics, Halo Wars is trash and Killzone 2 Pawns.

Lol, best ever cut scenes? Lolll. What a noob.

Snatcher5534d ago (Edited 5534d ago )

Killzone 2 is another boring shooter that fails to provide meaningful variety throughout its campaign offering. The fact that the game blatantly ignores the competitions’ superior single-player gameplay and fails to provide anything new is a serious failure of the game. It seems that the developers were very pleased with their red-eyed albino soldier’s masks and wanted to create a game where that’s almost all you ever fought. The only redeeming portion of the game is its addictive multi-player experience system and the unique classes and abilities that it unlocks. Unless you are planning to play the game solely for its multi-player modes, you would be better off spending your gaming time and dollar on other games with more complete and varied single player and co-op modes.

Don't let the graphics fool you guys. Killzone 2 defines the term over-rated. Bash me all you want. I have played the game, and I think it sucks.

hippo245534d ago

I wouldn't say KZ sucks though.

Its a completely adequate game, even if its a little bland in some spots. It gets the job done, and while it doesn't really make any headway in the genera its still fun and still playable.
I wouldn't say it was the best game ever, but it didnt suck.

sumguy815534d ago

i agreed with you on the first part. it is a bland shooter with nothing to offer. but you said it had unique multiplayer characters?? i'm guessing you never played team fortress? cuz KZ2 is a blatant rip off. a heavy? an engineer that can repair turrets? a spy? a medic? you kidding me? what's unique about anything in killzone?

i have a ps3 and i can tell you, the only reason people who only own a ps3 think killzone is anything other than average is because as far as FPS has gone, playstation has NEVER seen anything better than average (except bioshock). so by comparison, killzone looks good. but when you compare it to all existing FPS (not just haze and resistance), killzone is bottom rung.

Snatcher5534d ago

You say that it is the best FPS of this generation, but you have no reasons. I have reasons why it sucks:

1. Bad storyline and voice-acting.
2. No variety, just red-eyed albino soldiers.
3. Very limited and basic weapon set.
4. Loading screens.
5. Monotonous gameplay.

That is what I said. Killzone 2 defines the term over-rated. The game should not have 92% on metacritic. I salute Edge for giving it the score it deserve.

II Necroplasm II5534d ago

You are just another one to give the Sony fanbase a very bad name. The gaming community is getting very sick of you people.

Killzone 2 would have not got as many of great reviews if the sites wasn't spammed to death like they was.

Firstkn1ghT5534d ago

Killzone 2 is the best FPS this gen and its rated a 92%???

Reality Check time....

Bioshock: 96%
Halo 3: 94%
COD4: 94%

OUCH! Another pwnage.

Erotic Sheep5534d ago

Snatcher, I believe the article is about Halo Wars. Not your retarded KZ2 review no one cares about. If you're really gonna bash the name atleast come with valid reasons. Loading screen? Are you kidding me? It's loading the entire level from the go WITHOUT installs and you're seriously complaining? That must make Bioshock and COD4 AWFULL FPS games right?

You, my friend, are not a gamer. The open zone welcomes you ---->

Halochampian5533d ago

funny that you point out snatcher as a fanboy but not the greatest fanboy of them all, Nasim.

Erotic Sheep5533d ago

I know Nasim is a turd and a mindless fanboy. But that doesn't mean all of you have to catch the bait and respond to his idiotic statements. Nasim already ruined his reputation on here, that doesn't mean Snatcher has to do it as well. Let me quote something of the PM the kind Snatcher send me:

"Your stupidity is mindblowing, and Killzone 2 sucks between, noob. Go play with your red-eyed albino soldiers, PS3 fanboy. Loading screen is a ISSUE. They are too ****ing long."

Isn't that YOUR opinion? You state as if it's a fact. Grow the hell up for crying out loud. You know DAMN WELL Nasim always throws in KZ2 comments in every 360 article. Stop catching the bait and ignore him already.

Halochampian5533d ago

@ erotic

why cant you ignore snatcher. Your statement goes both ways.

green5534d ago

This review is beyond ridiculous.

hippo245534d ago

I doubt its even for hits, its just some nobody site, with low or no standards. The review is nothing more then one long rant about how he cant fathom how to use the controller, and then says he wants to use the terrain to his advantage?

He simultaneously contradicts himself, and blows the smallest flaw out of proportion, without making any curves for the fact that its a console RTS not a PC.

these reviews always appear when a platform limited game comes out, ignore and move on.

II Necroplasm II5534d ago (Edited 5534d ago )

One crappy website. The review was terrible

Firstkn1ghT5534d ago (Edited 5534d ago )

LMAO. Another noob site. He complains about he didn't know about upgrading his buildings or units. LMFAO! I hate people that need games spoon fed to them. This guy sounds like he was getting his ass handed to him on a plate.

iceice1235534d ago

Another backwater no name site found by nasim, he's adorable when he does this.

Firstkn1ghT5534d ago

You know Nasim has a name for himself on this popular site for being the number 1 goof of N4G. If he was smart he should create his own gaming site and review both ps3 and 360 games. Can you imagine the comedy relief? Throw some google ads on there and he could make a fortune.

DarthTigra 5534d ago

Lol the way whenever a big 360 or PS3 exclusive comes out he finds noname sites that give the PS3 games a high score and 360 games a low one is just hilarious.

Covenant5534d ago

I for one cannot wait until N4G creates the approval ranking system that will keep internet shovelware like this from being approved.

On topic: So why should I care about what some Joe Blow with enough money to blow on his own URL thinks about a major game release?

As for Halo Wars being a flop...we won't see official sales numbers until mid-April, anyway. Same with KZ2.

005534d ago

he should be reviewing crappy Wii games.

The Halo Wars Formula Has Potential to Fit More Microsoft Franchises

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb429d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni428d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay65d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

10 Best Halo Games

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic738d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure737d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade737d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure736d ago (Edited 736d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.

Ranking The Halo Games From Worst To Best

Since debuting on the original Xbox, the amount of games released means it's no easy task to rank the best and worst Halo games.

Deathdeliverer1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer1014d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
