Read this article, it is kind of long but is really fascinating. Linky:

Brings up some good points and dovetails on Papi's religious themes. This guy goes deep, honestly I just play it and enjoy it but once I read it most of it made a lot of sense.

Also manages to talk about MS and the XBox.

Enjoy!

That guy anylized the shit out of the Halo franchise(primarally Halo 1). But I do see the contrast between the franchise and MS themselves. For one though, I hope the Chief isnt revealed. I have came to love the faceless hero and I dont think I could see him in any other way.

  the MC should remain faceless, because I am the MC and nobody wants to see my ugly mug ;-)

It was a very good read. Kind of filled in some of the blanks.
