Halo 2: Gone Gold They said it couldn't be done! Actually, they didn't say that, but if they had, we'd have proved them all (the fake people who didn't say anything) wrong! Halo 2 has gone gold. We finished every line of code, every pixel of art, every frame of animation, every phoneme of dialog and every note of music. We finished it when we said we would (when it was done) and shipped that baby right on time to make its November launch date. And we're kinda proud of it. We think it's "fun." Shipping: US - Halo 2 (EFIGSKJC) - 9-Nov-04

If any one remebers we where talking about Silent Hill 4 awhile back. I got the game and was getting in to it until I got stuck, so I had not touched it in awhile. A little while after I got SH4 I found SH2 for $5, bought it but never even let it write the config file to my xBox. This weekend I was board and started to play SH4 again and soon realized I was still stuck and frustrated all over again. It was then that I remembered I had SH2, throw that in and started playing… ...and playing… and playing. Other then the awkward forward controls I feel that SH2 is a mush better game and has more of the RE feel I was looking for then SH4 does. Maybe I will think differently on…
