Master Chief is back in a new Halo trilogy! Check out our game review for all the details.

(NOTE: This game is rated mature and we feel that it is suitable only for our visitors age 13 and up with parent approval)

Last time we saw Master Chief, he had saved the galaxy but was left floating through space on a damaged spaceship. At the end of Halo 3, Master Chief enter cryonic sleep and waits to be rescued. Halo 4 is set four years later, when Master Chief's AI, Cortana wakes him up to tell him that enemies are boarding the ship.

A New Trilogy

Halo 4 is the first game in a new trilogy. Master Chief crash lands on a mysterious planet and is tricked into freeing an alien known as The Didact. The Didact wants to convert all of humanity into loyal cyborgs called Prometheans and it is up to Master Chief to stop him. The story in the game also focuses on Master Chief's AI, Cortana, as she has been active for far too long and is slowly going insane and dying. Halo 4 has a story worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster and the great graphics and music definitely makes it even more epic.

 

Spartan Ops and Co-Op

Along with the story mode, there is also Spartan Ops, a downloadable set of side missions that is free for XBox Live subscribers. Both the normal story mode and Spartan Ops missions have co-op, allowing you to play with friends online or locally via split screen. A new Spartan Ops mission is available every week, giving you plenty of reason to meet up with friends and play besides the normal multi-player modes. Although Halo has been passed over to a new development studio, Halo 4 is amazing and fans won't be disappointed. The story is great and the gameplay is as well. Overall, Halo 4 is a gurantee hit and worth picking up.
