Halo 4: Castle Map Pack Review: Getcha Motor Runnin’
What better way to mark the last Halo 4 map pack than to go big?

Whereas the previous DLC, Majestic Map Pack, featured small maps for intense close quarters fighting, Castle marks the return of large maps and epic vehicle battles.

Sure, Episode 8 felt a little like a step backward, but that’s only because it was preceded by the outstanding Episode 7.

Halo 4: Spartan Ops Episode 7 Review: 7 Really is Number 1
As Halo fans know, the number seven plays an important part of the mythology, thanks to Bungie’s insane obsession with it. Well, it seems that little prime number is also important to 343 Industries, because the seventh episode of Halo 4 Spartan Ops is by far the best yet. (more…)
