I know this is going to sound like crazy talk to many of you. But I could never get into Halo, despite its monumental popularity. Sorry. Couldn’t do it. I tried and I tried. I didn’t really expect Halo 4, released on Tuesday for Xbox 360, to change that. In many ways, it doesn’t feel that much different from the last few Halo games, which in large part is exactly what its developer was hoping for: Halo 4 is the first game in the series to be developed since the series’ creator Bungie split off from Microsoft. It’s the creation of the new studio 343 Industries, an internal Microsoft group tasked with keeping the Xbox’s signature exclusive franchise afloat.
