I apologise, this blog has been a little quiet this week. The reason is that I've got a copy of Halo 2. For some reason whenever I start playing I lose about six hours. It's very immersive. I won't spoil anything but I can say I love the details:

• In a vacuum the sound changes as if your ears have 'popped'
• The sniper rifle scope (when not zoomed) shows the landscape it's pointing at
• The "story" adds to the game which is unusual for video games

Oh and I'm glad that you don't need to wait until later levels to access the cool gear like the original - the writers assume you have already played the first one.

That's all, I'm off for another six hours.
