Extremely late to the party, I picked up Halo for the PC yesterday. I have been hankering for a good science fiction game lately, and I’ve always meant to try Halo out. Adventuring on something like an Orbital sounded fun, since I’m a big Ian Banks fan. What would it be like to live on one? Orbitals are much, much smaller than something like a Ringworld, but they are still stupidly big for an artificial construct.
Since it’s a first person shooter, the game is more about shooting aliens than it is exploring the Halo, but the environment is still there for you to oggle. I love pointing my camera up and seeing the world arching overhead. Halo is several years old, but I think the graphics are still great.
