I purchased Halo a while back and have been playing it in my spare time. Overall I'm underwhelmed. The game is fun enough and the squad AI is gimmicky, but it seems like the game to date is just more of the same (I was also unimpressed by Half-Life and won't be buying Half-Life 2 when it comes out). Plus, the levels are boring.

In other gaming news, Patch 1.10 for Diablo II finally came out, some two odd years after it was first announced. Despite the lag time, it's nice to see a gaming company supporting software for free so long after its commercial success.
