Just about. I was surprised to learn the first novel, Fall of Reach, came out in 2001, one month before the game. In thinking about this, I might have read the first trilogy of books just before Halo 2 came out in 2004. If you experienced the books and the games together than the chronology would be this: Fall of Reach, Halo: C.E./The Flood, First Strike, Halo 2.
It was listed in the new release section of Barnes and Noble's web site that I look at every week, so I went to the store and, yes, you're right, they told me the 21st. Why do they list it then THIS week?
Neato. I got something like 600 coins. I should check out the rewards sometime.
THE FORGE!!! I can't wait.
I've been playing Advance Wars on a red DS Lite and XCOM: UFO Defense on my silver PS2 slim. Gotta stay stylish with my console choices, even more than with the games I play on them. Oh yeah!
The Official Playstation Blogcast has been gushing about Spelunky for months now. <Groan> I'm sure it's great, but hard platformers are not my cup of tea.
I just found this site HowLongToBeat.com and have been writing down times for games I want to play. RPGs get the longest, of course, so I'm trying to figure out how many weeks I need with a particular game and then try and play only that game. It's hard not to get distracted by other stuff all the time though.
Just got a date for Broken Age, Jan 28th, and then saw another cool game Banner Saga just out on Steam. January starting to pile up already and I have so much to play as it is. Argh!
You'd think they could do better with character graphics for The Bachelor on 3DS 'cause THAT bachelor's got no chance.
That he's trying to liken the Vita to an Apple product says a lot. Clearly iDevices are taking over the portable space. My neices and nephews don't have DSes or Vitas. They have iPads and iPhones. The games are even easier to play than handhelds for kids. Swipe and tap gameplay is litterally a no brainer. I just noticed the other day when I went to look up the game of the movie The Lorax, that I was sure was out for consoles and handhelds just like kids liscenced products always are, is only out on iOS. That's the way it's going. Development costs are probably less too. Heck, even I'm looking at upgrading my iPod Touch to get the newer games. My Vita is not becoming an iPod, my iPod is stamping its life out.
