Never mind, Cortana

I’m very disappointed in Bungie right now. I’m a fan of good first-person shooters, and I’ve recently been trying to finish the Macintosh port of Halo; well, this week I gave up and deleted it from my hard drive. There’s no point in spending rare personal time on a game that I’m not enjoying, and I really wasn’t enjoying this one anymore.

Perhaps it has something to with the fact that in the midst of the game development, Bungie was purchased by Microsoft, and the game changed in mid-stream from a Mac/PC title to an XBox disc, amidst the legal and logistical upheaval of moving. But I’m astonished at the poor quality I experienced, and amazed that this game has received the glowing reviews that it has. Perhaps it’s the multiplayer that’s so good – I didn’t have the opportunity to try.

Four things I hate about you, Halo
