Recently I began writing a bit for Wrecked Gamer. My debut article, ‘Why Halo Reach will be Bungie’s Crowning Achievement’ is now available for your reading pleasure. An excerpt is below, but be sure to read the rest at Wrecked Gamer and check out their awesome site! While Nicole and I tend to write about geek things from both ends of the spectrum (i.e. bacon and robots), Wrecked Gamer focuses on gaming exclusively. Anyways, here’s a short sample:
While Halo: ODST was viewed by some as more of an expansion than a true sequel within the Halo universe, the means by which the story was progressed was inventive and fresh. The tale of the Rookie as he looks for the rest of his squad through a dark and derelict New Mombasa was a stark contrast to the lush environments of the rest of your squad’s missions. Seeing the story from multiple perspectives while ping ponging back and forth between a calculated, tactical environment and traditional balls-to-the-wall firefights made for some excellent pacing. It was a bold creative decision and for most of us, it paid off quite nicely.
