An Ancient Evil Awakens

      As promised, we will be covering gaming as well and, in this case, Halo 4 specifically. It is a first person shooter game exclusively for Xbox 360 with a release date of November 6, 2012. Its story is likely to include war between Humans, the alien race of the Covenant and the Prometheans. The intergalactic wars in the series introduce bizarre new worlds, species and technologies.

      Being a video game, it can't help but stretch the boundaries of our world and epitomize fantasy. Games are the only type of fantasy that adds the aspect of free choice to it. Being in a three-dimensional world enhances the wonder and intrigue with the freedom to look and move as you wish, something books, movies and pictures just don't have.

      Another interesting aspect of Halo 4 that has been evolving of the course of the past games is the forge. In the forge players are given pieces such as walls, windows, blocks, stairs, weapons, trait zones, spawns points, vehicles, you name it. With these pieces they are free to build anything they like and then be able to walk and play all over the map/what they built. This combination of an already fantastic world along with the creativity of the player makes for a unique, ever-changing experience.

      I am a huge fan of Halo and have already pitched in $100 for the limited edition. I know it will be amazing.  And, to explain beyond my capabilities, here's a video documentary of Halo 4.
