HEY!  There is life in this newsgroup!  I was just about to remove it.

No, I can definitely see where games like Halo get their roots, but 
wow......this is just Tomb Raider (which I love (TR1 that is)) on 
steroids.  Buttons, switches.....the only thing missing is I have no 
idea what this guys' butt looks like.  ;)

I'm already on a level in a garden with a pool and you gotta get this 
wooden lift so you can throw a switch.  I'm getting through it pretty 
fast, but yeah, I'm enjoying the nuances of the game.

Halo was a lot more challenging, but this is alright.
