Thought I'd share

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=264120

The world's first Halo Reach review has landed - with respected US mag Game Informer giving the Bungie game a whopping 95 per cent score.

The mag calls the title - which is released worldwide on Tuesday - "the true follow up to Halo 3".

GI's review is the first mainstream write-up available. The rest of the online reviews are due to golive tomorrow morning at 5am, UK time.
GI writes: 'Any disappointment series fans felt after ODST should be completely washed away thanks to Reach. Make no mistake about it - this is the true follow-up to Halo 3. It's also a perfect way for Bungie to part with the series it turned into a phenomenon.'

Reports suggest that UK indie retailers and supermarkets arealready selling the game three days early.

They gave Halo 3 a 98, and ODST a 93. Just for some perspective. I was honestly hoping for a better score. I know that sounds insane, 95 is amazing but idk...

Game Informer hands out high scores like candy on Halloween. I'd be impressed if Edge gave it a 10.

Thats a great score but not the best sign. GI tends to overrate games!

I'll be happy with it either way. Bungie's last hurrah to a cultural icon is saddening but it also gives me a happy feeling inside. lol

Personally i never felt it would get a 10, Halo isn't known, to me atleast, to be the ultimate FPS powerhouse. Its just fun and entertaining to play, specially with friend. The rest of the Reach reviews should be coming out later today, I'm perfectly happy with it getting a 9-9.5, if it gets a 10...I as well as the rest of SW would blow up into a billion pieces and scream Holy Schnitz

Prob Tom Mcshea I would expect to be reviewing the game on GS. Leaning toward a 9.5/10 from him.

I dont think anyone would expect a halo game to score below 9.0, and could this be the first 360 exclusive to score a perfect 10 on gs???

It's an unofficial fact that if Reach doesn't get a 10, the earth will implode.
