its a "gold award" which is essentially a 10

"Everything has come together in Halo 3 to form a comprehensive product that has been developed without fear of failure; a game that corrects the vast majority of the mistakes of the past; a game which combines user creativity and interaction across the campaign itself and Bungie's own website to an extent never before seen in a console release. It's not a Return of the Jedi, then, but a triumphant Return of the King."

maybe not because if it is an actually game which it looks like so far, then they can't deny that, i predict gs gives it a 9.5

"Comprehensive product that has been developed without fear of failure," "Corrects the vast majority of the mistakes of the past"... Sounds like they're describing a game made in the image of things from the past. Doesn't sound like a game that's going to get a 10 from GS. Or a 9.5. But eh, who knows.

That was actually a good review. They didn't hit too much on the multiplayer aspect but they were honest in telling that they had no time invested in it. And we already know the MP will be the greatest evercreated so that's irrelevant. This will end up being likeMario 64 ... Put simplyone of the greatest games of all time.

only finished the first level so far on hardest setting but it seems pretty decent. i enjoyed the first and hated the second halo for what that is worth. can see it getting good scores from most places

That was a nice read.Well written and very positive review.

"It still pales in comparison to the best movies or TV shows, of course, but as far as videogame stories go it's up there near the top, and the production values are terrific."

"...and it's all very well voice-acted"

"Often the feel of a level will change greatly throughout, as close-quarters interior fighting morphs into massive, vehicle-strewn landscapes around the next corner, and this variety within each stage is one of the campaign mode's greatest strengths. Even the heaviest encounters come with very few framerate drops, and while the visuals aren't as impressive as the likes of Gears of War in static shots, the HDR lighting, attention to detail in the art direction and the sheer amount of stuff going on at once makes Halo 3 more of a looker than it may first appear." -W00t, no morerepetetivelevel design...

"The music deserves more than just a passing mention. The game's score is absolutely exceptional: an enticing mix of orchestral bombast and menacing, atmospheric synths that ebbs and flows with the action, complementing the gameplay in ways that few videogames ever manage. Pleasingly, the wailing guitar fretwankery of some of Halo 2's more excessive moments has been consigned to history. This is officially a good thing." - W00t...Marty rox!!!

"It's not a Return of the Jedi, then, but a triumphant Return of the King.

Halo 3 is just a game, yes. But what a game. It's probably the easiest Gold Award we'll ever give, as well as being the first"

What is this Press Start Online, why are they credible, how are they posting a review on the 22nd, and how do you know a gold is equivalent to a 10 when the claim it's their first?

Seemed like a pretty good review, at the end they stated Halo 3 was the easiest and first gold they gave, so that should say something, right?

It should get at least 9.0-9.5 I would think. Definitely "AAA" score from Gamespot.
