The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

CynEater and Midnight share

CynEater and Midnight share my thoughts I see.

I agree with Midnight, Exclusive 360 games like Halo 3, Gears of War, Mass Effect Etc, Are the reason the 360 has been giving the ps3 a (more or less) 2 to 1 shit-kicking in hardware sales. Although I won't deny that someday the sales may even out. If nothing else, MGS4 with give big boost it needs.

"And is Microsoft regretting not expanding the HALO universe to other platforms?"

Unlikely, for reasons Midnight and I already stated.

"Perhaps the development costs of making a version of HALO 3 for the PS3 wasn't feasible. Okay."

Or maybe, since MS has actual business sense(something I've noticed Sony seems to lack occasionally), they didn't
want one of their biggest franchises to be on their RIVALS platforms. Durr.

"But what about say Halo 2 on the PS2?" This statement is so idiotic I think it honestly gave me brain damage. Halo 2 isn't going to be on PS2 anymore than god of war is going to be on game-cube, or Mario is going to be on xbox. I have the same reaction to Xbox fanboys saying MGS4 should be on the 360. It ain't gonna happen, period. Deal. If you want it so bad, go buy a PS3 and shut up.

I know I sound like some raving Halo fanboy, but I'm not. I quit playing H3 months ago, in favor of COD4, a game ALSO on the ps3. I just couldn't believe the utter lack of common sense rapture used here. It's business sense and politics that dictate exclusive console games not technology. If tech was the case then Ps3 would have everything, since it has the most horse power. Instead, the only game it has that has people excited is MGS4. Yeesh.

I apologize for the rant but I've been keeping stuff like this pent up for weeks, had to let it out. And I will admit Ps3 isn't horrible, and 360 isn't perfect.
