omg, have you guys been playing halo: campaign evolved? i just got it and i'm super stoked, but also kinda frustrated. basically, it's a remake of the original halo game, and they've added a ton of new stuff, including 42 collectible skulls that change up the gameplay. sounds cool, right? but here's the thing - the game is super strict about where you can and can't go, and if you wander off the beaten path, you'll get killed. like, instantly.
