HALO, anybody there?

Humans have always known war. Although it may be hard to take, most advances made in society have come about after or as a consequence of wars. That is why society is interested and has interests in war.
"We’re in the middle of a war here. This lack of gunfire is puzzling. The message on our screen is not a joke. The enemy has entered our base in an attempt to steal the flag. I know, I see them, all is one. My comrades behind me have no choice but to open fire, killing me in the act".
They excuse the killing of six people all because of a flag. Is it worth killing just to defend a dirty old rag? It’s nothing more than an excuse...
"I find myself on the battlefield. My comrade gets onto something like a ship and asks for my help. I have to use the laser canon as he pilots along. When the enemy craft fly over us, we shoot out of our hiding place in hot pursuit and try and gun them down. My comrade’s a good soldier. Well, he was until he was shot to bits. I’m lost without a pilot. My last thoughts as a laser rips my ship to bits".
What is the excuse, the excuse for war? Live or die, that’s the answer...
"Enemies from the red squad had to be near. I could hear the sound of laser rays getting closer and closer. I step through and get to take out two enemies from behind with a grenade. Unfortunately, I also blow two of my own comrades up in the explosion. War is harsh, but digital warfare ever more so. I hadn’t realised. I know we’ve lost again. Since the beating at the hands of the enemy my comrades look at me with hate filled eyes".
Nobody ever wins in wars, but this time the red squad have won 15 times in an hour. The others, a mere three. Two teams of four players hook up to the X-Box parallel and their ready to fighting again. They say that one of the players can hook up to the game on internet, but as internet is slow and because of the different ways to play, that’s something we’ll have to verify at a future date. So, let the war begin, let’s finish off the enemy.

Pyro Studios, in their never-ending search for peace, are back with the second part. The backdrop is something like that in The Lost Vikings and your group of puppets have to display their abilities as they carry out different missions. New missions, new characters. The same game, although some say is slightly easier than the first part.

Do you know PS One’s Crash Bandicoot? This time round the creators are offering a charge free? game. According to them we can go anywhere and we’ll be able to finish the game whatever way we want to. Don’t expect too much all the same, games are just games and whether you play them 10 or 10,000 times, there’s always an ending.

We have really had a ball with the latest madness to be released by the creators of Space Channel 5. As in Ink Ribbon (PS 1), the music and surroundings change depending on the way you play. Worth having if you can get a copied version. If you are gonna spend money, try and get your hands on Shemmue 2.
