Happy Easter! Plus new post.

First off, Happy Easter. Its important to realize that today is more than the Easter bunny and candy, but is the day that Jesus rose and released us from our sins. We need to remember that as we celebrate the day and remember the real reason to be joyful: we are saved.


On another note: We got Halo Wars! Woot woot! Its pretty awesome, coming from a fan of Halo, RTS games, and Ensemble Studios. I can definitely see problems people could have with it: its campaign is too short, there is no Covenant campaign, the story, while really good, is a little predictable (pretty similar to the rest of the series in terms of what happens). And on lower difficulties (I played through on Normal) the enemy AI isn't that intelligent and a bit predictable.
However, the good outweighs the bad. The story is really good, the graphics are quite good (downright amazing on pre-rendered scenes, still really good in gameplay), the sound effects are straight up Halo, the soundtrack as well, the gameplay is pretty solid. I give it an 80/100.


So, have fun with whatever the Easter Bunny brings, and remember the true reason to celebrate.
God's Blessings

P.S.- Oh, and Halo Wars has an AWESOME (underlined, glowing, and on fire as well) cut scene where a group of Spartans are fighting a bunch of elites. Think ninja spies in battle armor with guns. That are on fire. An epic, awesome fire. That rocks. And you'll have a fraction of the awesomeness. And the main character goes total bada$$ on the Arbiter. Old Arbiter, not the one from Halo 3. Its pretty sweet.
IMHO.
