Rare never should've left Nintendo in the first place - not because Microsoft is this big bad evil boogeyman - but because Rare was only ever at their prime making games under existing IP's

not to mention their top talent leaving at the start of the decade, leading to a relative lack in motivation coming from Rare after that (anybody remember the huge flop that was their first game for the xbox? a gamecube port of a lacking game?)

i mean Kameo was a nice effort, but Perfect Dark Zero was just horribly made

Nuts & Bolts was interesting, but i think everybody just wanted a regular platformer adventure title

Move is targeted at people who play games like House of the Dead or Resident Evil 4 on the Wii

Kinect is targeted at people who play games like Wii Sports Resort or Just Dance on the Wii

totally different audiences, the latter of which looks less at minor improvements and more at overall difference and newness of concept

that's a huge stretch, it's easily one of the best experiences i've had playing a downloadable title this gen, but to beat games like Mass Effect 2, RDR, SMG2, etc.? not even in the same ballpark

not really

but the Wii is a needed dose of variety when i'm bored playing the typical PC/PS3/360 game

i know Reach is supposed to be a sort of "evolution" of the franchise but imo it's more like an evolution of Bungie's style than of the franchise itself

after Reach the series needs some fresh blood, they should be ambitious and make Halo 4 with Master Chief on some alien world hinted at the end of Halo 3, do it on a new piece of hardware, and really throw out the book and do something unique for the series, go for something as big a leap as the first Halo was

i think the problem for Halo is not going ambitious would do more harm than good after Reach, it doesn't matter if you end up producing a AAAE-worthy game if there's absolutely no ambition in the project

PS3 for Ratchet and MGS4

360 for Mass Effect, Forza 2, Gears, and Halo 3

Wii for well... nintendo nostalgia i guess, bought the console in 2007 before i had anything to play on it

hopefully a vastly improved sequel to Too Human, which had a lot of potential

stockholders wanted Microsoft to do something with the buttloads of $$ they made during the dot-com boom
