I remember playing the original version of this game all the time as a kid on the OG Xbox so I was excited to revisit it when this remaster came out. It's fun! A deeply flawed game, one that hasn't aged perfectly in it's writing and has some missions that just are not fun. But this is a good game, even outside of the nostalgia you get that lovely, pulpy theremin music. The fun suite of weapons literally all of which are enjoyable. And the jokes that do land are pretty damn funny. It's not perfect but it's definitely worth a play, and I'm glad a relic from my childhood got remade.

This game is really fun. I'm a huge mark for games with multiple classes and outfits to unlock for each so this was a really good title for me. I like the different combo's of characters you can form your party out of as well. This is a remake of a very old RPG and you can tell in it's story and dialogue and world, It doesn't lack for charm but it does lack virtually any depth, which is okay it's just not really my thing in RPG's. Still, it was fun enough that I played it comfortably and happily until the credits rolled.

I can't speak to it's multiplayer as it isn't really my cup of tea but Halo 3's campaign alone is a blast, if ever so slightly too short in my opinion, though at least that helps it avoid padding. The suite of weapons is more refined from Halo 2's which is both a compliment and a complaint as I enjoyed how broken certain dual wielding combos were in that game. There's still plenty of weapons that shine in this title though.

I think for my money, it's probably the best game in the series, not my favorite, but a very refined, gorgeous, and iconic game.

Prey is a fantastic game that I will always be pissed was shafted by terrible publisher decisions. Probably my favorite immersive sim as it stands.

The space station the game takes place on is gorgeous with so many secrets to find and places to explore. Playing the game on hard is the move as it makes the enemies scary and incredibly dangerous at first but as the game goes on and you get more powerful there's such a delicious curve to the difficulty. I truly felt like my arc from researcher alone and scared on this space station to master of my enviroment, killing the aliens with my all powerful guns as I break down the games final mysteries, was perfectly executed.

It's skill tree system being a craftable item was so fun as well, it made progression feel interesting and different from tons of other games.

I was truly captivated by Prey. It is a fantastic game.
