HALO Legends

February 16, 2010 Movies, Video Games

A collection of seven short animated films set int he HALO universe

Origins
A great recap of the Halo Universe for noobs. Stylistically though the animation felt a bit weak and not at the level of quality I am accustomed to seeing from Studio 4°C

The Duel
I applaud the attempt at creating an original look and feel but it just doesn’t work. It looks awful. Skip it.

Homecoming
A look at the tragedies involving SPARTAN-II recruitment in 2517, and the SPARTANs coming to terms with their origins. Cool stuff.

Odd One Out
It is so Dragon Ball Z (which is a series that SUCKZ, don’t argue) it hurts. A total waste of time. Skip It.

Prototype
I’ve read some people comment that this episode “simply didn’t sit well with me.” To those people I reply, this isn’t a fucking burrito. Prototype is serious subject matter and the only tale that takes the viewpoint of a normal Marine. A definite standout.

The Babysitter
“The big reveal at the end fell flat, perhaps due to a certain Nintendo franchise making any quiet person in full body armor suspect.” That was a quote pulled directly from Mike Fahey’s review on Kotaku. Comments like this from gaming snobs annoy me. This short had nothing to do with the reveal. It’s about the animosity between ODST and Spartans. Not to mention the bonds formed between soldiers through sacrifice.

The Package
FUCKING SICK. This disc is worth renting just for this short alone.

After writing this I’ve realized I am one BIG NERD.
