While every system has its signature characters, none are more inseparable than Microsoft and the Master Chief — hell, it named the Windows phone’s personal assistant Cortana. Thus, the arrival of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, highlighted by Halo 2 Anniversary, on the Xbox One is a landmark moment that brings all four of the Chief’s adventures onto one console and sets the table for next year’s Halo 5: Guardians. Cue the Gregorian chants, it’s Halo time.

As previously alluded to, the story of Sunset Overdrive is played almost entirely for laughs. Nothing is taken seriously, and the game delights in pointing out how it’s following industry clichés. That approach keeps things feeling light as the challenge elevates — even deaths are treated as mere momentary setbacks accompanied by silly respawn animations. If you string too many story missions together, however, it loses its impact as the humour gets repetitious.
