Halo 3 being hyped by everyone; on front cover of Time

Although there have been many other videogames feature in Time, Halo 3 was the first one of this fall and just shows how much hype its getting.

Yeah anyways.... who read it and what'd ya think of it. I though it was pretty interesting in how it explored the idea of Halo becoming as big as Harry Potter or Star Wars. Although this will most likely never happen it was god to see Halo 3 get 3 pages in a magazine with as high regard and respect as Time. Its also nice to see Bungie get the credit they deserve in maing Halo and videgames more than entertainment and an art.

I havent read the article...but itssad that so many on here bash a great franchise like Halo just because its Halo.:(Sad indeed.

that it not a big deal

I read it. The article was pretty n00bish but that's to be expected. It shows that the people writing Time feel that Halo has entered or is on the verge of entering the mainstream. Tungsten88

I never said it wasn't. I'm just giving my opinion on why the article was written. If you feel that Halo has been snubbed in some way, take it up with the Time editors.

im sure you have heard of The Sims... halo really isn't mainstream, it's just the hardcore gamers have such a strong voice in the gaming community that it seems like EVERY gamer is playing Halo... btw, i never played halo... evr.

It wasn't the lead story. They needed something for their entertainment/technology story, so why not go with the biggest videogame on the planet?Weapons_Free

Did i say it as the Cover STORY? Wow... people really need to get some reading comprehension. I said it was on the cover, which it was. Usually the entertainment/technology story does not appear on the cover, so yes it is significant to a small degree.

They put all kinds of diverse crap on the top of the magazine to attract a diverse crowd of people. Its marketing 101.

I must have a hard time getting through an issue of Time, since I have a reading comprehension problem and all.

A tad off topic, but Time is one of the most liberally biased magazine I have read (not that that's a bad thing), followed closely by U.S. News. I remember Time had a PS3 hype article, so they basically cover everything under the sun. Games are an important part of the tech industry and Time recognizes this by following wherever the story takes them.

True but it is still the only game to be on it recently and they dont always put the tech section on the top.

Halo franchise: 14 million units sold. 40th highest selling franchise. Pokemon franchise: over 155 million units sold. 2nd highest selling franchise. I still can't get over that one. Halo is not mainstream. It has lines at launch, and media frenzy, but all that means is it is really hyped. Halo2 may have sold 3 million in 24 hours, but it only sold like 5 more million since then. Mario is mainstream. Pokemon is mainstream. The Sims is mainstream. Halo just plays the media hype really well.
