I've decided that since I recently reviewed Killzone and Killzone 2, it would be logical for me to rate that which they compete against so as to make sure people understand a comparison.
So... I'll be reviewing the entire Halo series in an unbias manner within the next week.
Hope you guys enjoy, and make sure to leave some comments and add me as a friend
June 13th, 09 / 1:25 P.M. EST - Halo: Combat Evolved successfully reviewed.
June 14th, 09 / 11:17 A.M. EST - Halo 2: successfully reviewed.
Edit - June 16th, 09 / 4:49 P.M EST.
Now that I'm back from my suspension... which I have no doubt won't be the last one I receive because of my... confrontational attitude towards immaturity or at least what I deem immature, I should be able to finish up the reviews for Halo with the final in the series known as Halo 3.
Again I have to plead to you guys that if you read my reviews under contributions or like the blog please rate it positively or negatively if you feel it deserves it and then tell me why, so that others can see it, because doing nothing just bumps it down.
I will most likely when I have time or if I have no other reviews to write, be editing all previous reviews and making them in the format of the new review structure.
Thanks, and have a great Fathers Day Week.
- Cere.

Good reviews Cerebris. Although I must say, I was never entirely keen to persuasion on my opinion towards the Halo franchise, reading your reviews though has gotten me quite interested. A very good thing indeed.
We have similar styles of writing, you and I, keep the reviews coming pal. I'll keep a track on you as well

Not that its a bad thing but you certainly seem to have a bias against the classic first person shooter design. I noticed the same commentary in your Killzone and Resistance 2 reviews that imply that the games were designed with the thought that you would die often. I'm not entirely sold on that premise but it is certainly an interesting one.
Anyway's keep up the reviews, they provide a good read.

I'm glad, sorry for the delay in the post.
@Dw-i-ddim
Thanks a lot, and I'm sorry if I influenced you when you didn't want to be influenced.
@Kariyanine
I know several good FPS's in which they play in a way where it is possible to go through the game without dying, and even when you do die in such games it's not annoying or because of looking the wrong way or any other stupid reasons like lack of direction, no it's just because they outwitted you and you laugh or congratulate the AI and you continue on from a good checkpoint.
Thanks for the comments on my reviews, but if you like them please rate them up, if you don't give them a thumbs up or down then I don't really get any feedback and other people won't see them as they will be bumped down over time, unless it's very positive or well negative would bump it down as well, lol.
I've added all of you so take care!

In this case, the influence is indeed, quite good. I was never one to be 'won over', so to speak, by another user over my opinions towards a game franchise in itself. To me, this is quite special indeed.
I completely forgot about the recommendation after the review. I simply retreated back to the blog to comment. I shall see to it that I give them the thumbs up

Be sure to review my other reviews if you're interested in the games or curious or simply want something to read, I must warn you though that some of the older reviews are less formated.
Thanks,

I very much enjoy reading your contributions at times of inactivity. When I have nothing to read. They are formated and informative while retaining an element of maturity and understanding. Bravo and thank you.
Just finished reading your review of Fallout 3 which, to me personally, was strikingly different from the normal reviews that I have glanced by. Mainly established by the score of course. Your points were relatable, yet I understood your problems with the game. Although I am curious to one thing, what was the original score of your review before the edit?

(What is the story behind your username anyway? Aside from making it hard to type lol)
I'm glad you enjoyed that review, as it was one of the foundations for my rating style. The original review was 7.5 due to the story abrubtly ending illogically, a few glitches bugs and mistakes, and while the game didn't play expecting you to die all the time (which WAS A GOOD THING) it did maintain some other errors, and some really wierd continuity problems (one of the more humorous being that cigar's and ashtrays were found everywhere, that everyone had an animation for smoking cigarettes (yet no one had any in ashtrays), and that only 2 characters (added 1 by DLC of Anchorage) actually ever smoked a cigar, and even then it was always unlit (lol), but many other continuity and logic errors also existed.

Continuation: The DLC for Broken Steel fixed things quite a bit, and playing through the game with all DLC already added (I heard bad things about The Pitt, and with them having the chance to fix their screw-up on the slave and imprisonment thing I was delighted but then I found out that you quickly got out and then the DLC ended with lots of death so ehh I never got that one) adds and subtracts quite a few things. Regardless like I stated previously in that review, I could never go through it all again except in like a few years, but I could keep going back for a bit more to new DLC, though Point Outlook doesn't look that interesting and hopefully the abduction DLC after that will contain another attempt at the imprisonment / slave fixing, so as to make it logical and believable.
Wow this is a long post.

Edit:
Remember if you liked or disliked the review, to rate it, as that helps bump it up so others can see it, though many seem to disagree with my FO3 review, perhaps a more formatted review will prove more positive.

I had considered that there would be a fair few members who found consistent arguments against your review and would disagree. However, as I wrote in my previous comment, I found considerable amounts of agreement throughout reading the review and gave it the approving thumbs up. I did agree. Although I must admit that I was more lenient with my estimation of the score for Fallout 3. If I believe correctly, I gave it a healthy 9.0 but have yet to write up a review, so maybe with a proper format of information and opinion about the game, my score will adapt with the times.
I think the DLC was enough for many gamers to evaluate their scores as certain elements of these DLC actually added to the game. Broken Steel appears to be the most note worthy for such an action for its continuation of the story. Although I can see points of frustration at starting afresh to experience the DLC. Point Lookout is yet to have convinced me, although the Mothership Zeta DLC (this could be possibly wrong as my mind is in a state of dis-orientation at the moment) could be pretty interesting. Of course, this is my opinion.

As for the username Cere, I have recently been drawn to embracing my merry heritage as a firm welshman (although my genetics indicate a partially different nationality - although it is only the slightest amount) In welsh, 'dw i ddim' translates as 'I don't know' which as an online persona, its origin I cannot remember. I'm pretty sure it was some sort of insider quirk back in the simple times of education. lol.
If it is in your interests or a slight preference, you may call me Mike. Although there may be occurrences when this causes slight confusion. lol.

That makes sense, and yes it does seem Mothership Zeta will be bringing things back into an interest towards the DLC, though I stand by the statement that it should have already all been included in the original game, but well it's far past that. (Mmm I suddenly have a desire to review Oblivion and oh that would cause a disruption for many people) Regardless, I appreciate your liking of my review and am open to any statements or suggestions for improving my reviews or what not.
The story behind your name is interesting, you can call me Brian, Cere, Vanu, Delsana, Delsanar, Delasanar, Dread, or Paleir, if you like. I only ask you don't research any of those names online as it would bring a total past of my entire online existence, and well an accounting of my background isn't exactly what I'd appreciate. As for my traits, I'm English, I suspect of a high degree, perhaps a coat of arms even exists for my original family, but I'm too lazy to look much into that, as well as a degree of Spanish on my mothers side and a few other things, oh and I love Latin and focus a lot on Latin, and the 29+ dialects that it has.
