Like a flower growing from dirt

Despite my apathy towards Halo something good did spring from it. That something was...

Red vs Blue. Check it out on youtube, or stop being a mooch and buy it.

My Popluar Video Game Iconoclasm

Iconoclasm, Greek for "image-breaking." Or in other words games that everyone else seems to love but I don't. It's not that they are bad games even, it's just that I don't see what all the hype is about.

Case in point:

Halo.

Halo is a decent first person shooter. Average. Nothing spectacular about it. If you want to play a good FPS, play BioShock. That game has all the graphical glam of Halo but also has a great story to boot. Maybe someone can explain it to me but I just don't understand what the big deal about Halo is? (This goes for Halo 2 and 3 as well.)
