Hey everyone. I'm back at Georgetown starting my junior year which is gong well.
My websiteEntertainium.orglaunched last month pretty but we didn't have a constant stream of content. This has now changed. My friend Matt and I are the only principle writers but we are both putting out a lot of reviews every week for television shows.
Our plan is ambitious, to review the releases in the video game industry, movies, new albums, and every televisions episode as possible. It has taken a lot of work and I need your help.
Thus I am asking if anyone would like to write for the site. You can write pretty much whatever you want, but I am looking for video game content in particular. By signing up you will:
- Have content up on an emerging entertainment site
- Gain valuable experience from people who have written for major sites
- Gain industry contacts
- Eventually get paid
Other Immediate Perks:
- Opportunities to go to game preview events for companies like THQ
- Ability to attend to E3 next year
- Free games and DLC in the coming months
If you are interested, post here, or email me at dougbuffone4488@hotmail.com . It would be helpful to include any writing samples as well as your name, age, location, which consoles you own and what you want to write about. I can't say that everyone will be accepted but I will do my best to give everyone a fair shot.
I would also love for you guys to listen to my podcast for the site, called The Byline(which you can download AND subscribe to through iTunes). You could also tell me what you think about the site.
Thanks and I look forward to your thoughts and your help!
-Doug

If you read my last blog (at least two of you did 
), then you'll know that I caved into the Halo 3 hype, the fake documentaries of soldiers reminiscing about the Master Chief being there inspiration, and the war memorial video. I admit, I wasn't going to get the game, but the hype got to me.
I'm very glad I did. I completed the solocampaign on Heroic (although for some reason I didn't get the acheivments for2 chapters for some reason 
), and I must say that, I thought, it equalled, or maybe even superceeded the quality of the first Halo. The campaign is absolutely divine.
The story and the cinematics are its strongest point by far; whilst relatively simple, it will really pull on the heart strings of any self respecting Halo:CE lover at several moments.
The cut-scenes are magnificently "shot",some fantastic images, genuinely epic images could be snap-shotted out of the several cut scenes throughout the plot. The voice acting and script is also fantastic, there are some really heart wrenching scenes. The dialogue really strings together well, and there are plenty of quote-worthy lines coming from it.
Aside from the actual story aspect, the gameplay in the campaign is just as brilliant as the story. There are certainly more than a handful of brilliant set pieces in the 12 hour (played on Heroic), 9 chapter campaign, and it genuinely exceeded my expectations in every possible way.
I said it above, I'll say it again: This game decimates the disappointment of Halo 2,and truly does live up to the timeless legacy that is the Halo series.
Thank you, Bungie, for not letting me down!
