Halo 2 reviews

Well, a game will 100% be spoiled the day it is released. It'll be hard, almost impossible to avoid some major plot spoiler before you have finished the game yourself.
To protect yourself until the game is released, but to let yourself be spoiled before you have discovered the secrets yourself... you'll only be safe for a week or days

Incorrect. When the spoiler was first put up it wasn't shown in small text, after a large gap, or with any warning or anything else that would allow you to know what it was before you read it. It was a short sentence at the very start of short post (as was Dural's subsequent and dumbfounding confirmation - that's what PMs are for!). If you read at any speed you can't help take it in.
What did you think Vysez' "rabidrabbit put a giant "spoiler warning" before your post" comment and the edited original spoiler post were about?
I only wanted to see what kind of reviews it was getting ...

Hey man, I'm sure you didn't mean any harm! I don't get to play many games these days, and I was particularly looking forward to Halo 2 that's all.
I normally seem to be pretty lucky about not catching these kinds of things before the event (be they games, films or books). Even MGS2 had a few fresh .. err ... surprises for me when I finished it over a year after it came out.
Sorry everyone, I meant not to spoil.
I shouldn't have posted the question there.
Still, I don't think it was such a big plot spoiler, more of a gameplay info.
Anyway, similar "spoilers" have been posted of many other games before Halo (MGS2 anyone?), that's why I didn't consider it as a major spoiler.
I wonder if the reviews for Halo2 will tell anything really important about the game. I mean this just reminds me of Halo review in Edge when it was released. The review didn't really give any information about the game or gameplay because they told it would just spoil the game (I'm not sure, but did that stop them "spoiling" the MGS2 when they reviewed it?), thus leaving out many disappointing things about the gameplay from the review, whic could have been considered as minor spoilers, but should have been addressed in the review.
I'm not saying Halo 2 suffers from similar faults (because apparently it doesn't).
But it just conserns me that if the game publisher "hypes" the secrecy of the game plot and gameplay mechanisms so much that even reviewers of major publications "fear" to review the game properly in fear of spoilers.
Still, it's just a game, at least I've never felt a games "plot" to be so intricate that I would have been happy to avoid any spoilers.
THe surprise in the game only last some seconds, then the spoiler will be gone anyway

A Danish site, Gamereactor.dk gave Halo2 a perfect score (10/10)

I've always wondered, do you think game critics give certain games higher scores than maybe they deserve, just because said games have been hyped so long? The reason I ask is because I've found myself rather disapointed with all of the recent 'best game ever' games that have come out. Perhaps I've just been around too long, but it just feels like everytime one of these games come out I find myself bored to tears while playing.
I jsut spent a couple thousand dollars on a new home theater hoping it would help bring back the love I used to have playing games, but I was wrong. To me there just doesn't seem to be anything fresh or original anymore. Nothing which draws me in like the good ol' days. I'm honestly saddened when I see games like Halo 2, Half Life 2, etc. get such great scores because I know I won't enjoy them. They're just more of the same ol crap, just prettier.
What's wrong with me?

If I gleaned information from the fanboy morass that is TXB (just right now), Eurogamer gave Halo 2's single player a 9/10. I think their review of the multiplayer will be up later on.Alstrong said:
