Kids review the darndest games!

Splendid, boys. It seems their opinions and insights don’t stray too far from those of hardcore gamers and professional critics alike. But before you call Child Services on us, it’s not like we made Marcus and Spencer work entirely for free. Their payment for whipping up this here article? A couple rounds with one of the most anticipated games of the year, well before all their buddies will every lay a hand on it.


EXCLUSIVE Minor Review!

GamesRadar: So, whatcha think?

Marcus: Really good. Although, you can’t see the graphics as well on this little TV. (Ed Note: FW to boss!)

Spencer: They’ve done a good job, even without Master Chief. I can’t wait to play The Flood.

M: Too bad this is Ensemble's last game.

GR: What’s Good?

M: The simplicity of the controls is very good. And the special abilities also work well by letting you take out buildings without having to shoot at them.

S: Everything! Good real-time action, a massive arsenal, new vehicles…What’s not to like?!

M: Skirmish mode is probably going to be really good.

GR: So you don’t mind the change from FPS for RTS?

S: I don’t mind them changing genres, as long as it’s fun.

M: And if it helps get more people into Halo, great.

GR: Anything you don’t like?

M: Not being able to cycle through the battlefield fast enough.

S: No Master Chief!

GR: So far… final score?

There you have it, folks! If you’d like further proof that child labor laws are the only thing separating truant middle schoolers and grown men with journalism degrees, we invite you to keep it here at GamesRadar.com.
