343’s ‘Halo’ Trilogy No Longer Just A Trilogy, Here’s What That Means

Way Too Much Halo

Let’s face it, even as each new iteration has broken bigger and bigger records as they debut, there’s already too much Halo out there. It’s a series that I lost my passion for nearly a decade ago and so buying their games – which seems anti-thetical, I realize – feels like a by-the-numbers affair. Microsoft leans on Halo too much and I’m afraid that Disney may be doing the same thing with a new Star Wars film every year from 2015 on. The series feels clouded by the me-too space marine grabs that have sprung up in all the years since and it no longer has that same special feeling that it does. What I want Halo to be is something it can’t be, but that’s only because it’s what it should have been the whole time: introducing crazy new experiences instead of tipping the hat to commerce.
