Halo doesn't suck, it's just severely over-rated. It's a little kids game as far as I'm concerned, and I know that isn't fanboyism cause I have the utmost respect for Gears of War.

I love reviews and ratings, they help me decide what I'm after. But they aren't always in line with your preferences. For example, I HATE Metal Gear Portable ops and Lumines, but theres a few games that have got terrible reviews, I adore lol
