If you have been a fan of the Legendary trilogy of Halo through its duration, you would have, like I, been coming into this whole new introduction expecting (and maybe hoping)for it to crash and burn.
However, 343 has done an excellent job. What I really like is their company name, as it is a reference to 343 Guilty Spark, a large contributor to the Halo universe. They have not destroyed the name of Halo; they have raised it to a whole new level
The campaign is extremely fun, and not too long (8 missions). The story line between Master Chief and Cortana was chalked up to be more than it came out to be, but I found it to be more profound than other Halo story-lines, even if it didn't move me to tears. I blame that on the (while good) soundtrack that just wasn't quite Martin O'Donnell level.
The online play from what I've seen is great: they took some factors from Halo: Reach that worked and they bettered them. (The game style that I particularly enjoy is Regicide).
A good game-- it was everything we needed it to be and more than we expected it to be.

People can say all they want that this movie can't be compared to the original Spider-Mans, but it can and it sure as heck will.
The thing that makes Spider Man... well, Spider Man is his character: his noticeable ability to triumph. Sure he gets beaten down, but he ultimately triumphs.
However, half way through the movie I couldn't tell who the good guy was supposed to be, and the same was true for the rest of the movie. Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Spider Man featured an incredibly awkward kid turning into a real nuisance, and all of a sudden he was completely confident... WHAT? He got away with things that I wouldn't have got away with, and I'm more charming. He shot chicks in the butt, he talked police officers down, and he tried to rationalize that he was doing the right thing, when he was by no means doing it.
As for acting performances, I found the movie to be bad ranging to sub- par. Andrew Garfield didn't have opportunities to really give somebody a glimpse of his character and his insecurities, and he sure didn't find ways. Emma Stone's character portrayed her as a patsy little girl who would fall for stupid and terrible lines like. "Don't make promises you can't keep." "But those are the best kind."
Overall, my 3/10 is pretty generous, as the movie left zero inclination for high expectations for the next movie. As I have suggested, Tobey Maguire should be begged to comeback.. that is, if anyone has the balls to make any more Spider Man movies after the last two flops.
