October 14, 2004 - Halo 2 is the Xbox game of the year. While there are plenty of other games people are interested in, none come close to the lofty expectations placed on Halo 2. Even PS2's GTA: San Andreas is not as closely watched as Halo 2. Fans search the Internet each day -- during work or late at night -- looking for any new scraps of information. From what we know, the game is going to own us all and come November 9, the world will be a different place. Gamers will be huddled around televisions playing Halo 2. It will be a glorious time.
Unfortunately, we will likely not be able to provide any more concrete details on Halo 2 until our review in early November. Instead, we must offer tidbits found online, and any new screenshots made available.
However, that doesn't mean we can't still weigh in on the impact Halo 2 is having on our office and in our lives -- and in yours. In less than one month, Halo 2 will ship to retail outlets across North America. We're counting down to this eventful moment with a different piece each work day. Some are just stupid ideas, some will be editor's thoughts on Halo and Halo 2, and some will be a bit more informative.
Halo 2 ships in 25 days. Prepare yourself.
