The article sucks my... it is a bad article

In Response To: Xbox commentary at salon.com (mentions Halo) (septimus) : Salon has a new article up on the Xbox. Halo is mentioned on pg 2. The : article is largely critical of Xbox launch titles and the general : Microsoft philosophy behind the console, but they aren't too harsh on : Halo. Says Halo doesn't break any new ground. Not fun to play. PC Port. Gives Halo all the criticisms that it could (which isn't very many actually ;). and then goes on to follow it up with how Pikmin will be the end all and be all of the gaming world: :Against this dearth of Xbox excitement, Nintendo is fielding a new title from :Miyamoto himself. Early indications are that Pikmin, his strategy game, :exclusive for the GameCube, will create as much new ground as he's already :pioneered. Adhering to the Miyamoto aesthetic, it's a fusion of intuitive :gameplay and dreamy, childlike imagery. The player controls a grounded space :traveler who's struggling to repair his wrecked craft, assisted by the planet's :tribes of sentient plants. The level of creative problem-solving required to :accomplish this should attract a wider demographic than Miyamoto's previous :games, and Pikmin may well be the GameCube's killer app. It is crap.
