The Halo Series on Paramount+ Review
On today's episode of Grief Burrito Hazz is joined by Ryan from Kidnapped by Wizards to discuss their thoughts on the entire first season of Halo; the new original series on Paramount+ (using Amazon Prime for us UK viewers).
The Halo Series story takes place in what’s called the Silver Timeline, it stands in its own canon from the games and is an alternative telling. Following Master Chief (played by Pablo Schreiber), Kwan Ha (Yerin Ha), Miranda Keyes (Olive Gray), Danny Sapani as Captain Keyes, fan favourites Kate Kennedy as Kai -125 and the voice of Jen Taylor back as Cortana. The man in the big green Mjolnir Armor must do all he can to protect one and seek out another Forerunner Artifact before The Covenant led by brainwashed human Makee (played by Charlie Murphy) can find it.
Not before Dr. Catherine Halsey, played incredibly by Natasha McElhone and Margaret Parangosky will do all they can to twist John-117 to their will.
In Part One we discuss our overall thoughts on the introduction to the series universe and the characters that live in it, in Part Two we discuss out series highlights and finally in Part Three we discuss what we see coming next and how we felt about the finale!
It's time for Grief Burrito.

Dead Space 2 diverts from Dead Space 1 and how it scares the player.
Dead Space 1, The Xbox 360 game felt more like a ghost train, more quiet areas, focusing more on creeping round corners to suddenly be pounced on by Necromorphs. The first game felt like it had shooting and dismemberment as a survival tool as well as a storytelling mechanic.
Dead Space 2 in comparison though, is more interested in panic. It’s more full on and it drives the player to panic through areas of combat and fear by throwing waves of Necromorphs in their path.
Returning to The Ishimura... must be one of the most horrific experiences we've had in games...
Isaac Clarke awakens aboard The Sprawl; A floating space colony built into the remains of the moon of Titan circling Saturn only to find himself in the midst of a second Necromorph rampage. The entirety of Titan Station is a blood soaked massacre of limbs!

With Netflix announcing their new movie diving deep into the city of Rapture deep below the Atlantic it seems perfect that this week we'd planned to ask the question; Is Bioshock Still Cinematic!
This week the Burrito Bois are breaking down the 2K game BioShock, set miles below the Atlantic Ocean in the city of Rapture. A city led by Andrew Ryan to allow the artist to create, the scientist to modify and everyone to live their dream life. Unfortunately with the advancement of genetic modification people begin to turn into Splicers as their DNA is changed and they become addicted to a substance known as Adam. When Jack arrives in Rapture under strangely suspicious circumstances he must make his way through the city, guided by the mysterious Atlas, to navigate an underwater civil war between Rapture's founder Andrew Ryan and the notorious smuggler Frank Fontaine.
Will BioShock rank and be added to our Alphaburatic Burrito Classics?

Another World, the classic 1991 cinematic platform adventure game is relaxing, punishing, and brilliant!
Watch the first episode of our playthrough here!
In the year 1991, a solo indie developer called Éric Chahi released what could be one of the most iconic one-man games ever to be released for the Amiga & Atari ST. The game tells the story of a young scientist by the name of Lester who is transported to "Another World" when an experiment goes wrong. The adventure is filled with dangerous creatures that will transport your mind Out of This World!
One of the amazing things about this game is that not only did Chahi develop the game alone but he also created his own GAME ENGINE to run the adventure. He crafted his own visual art style from vectors to help reduce memory and even used rotoscoping to plan out Lester's and other characters' animations.
The game is a fascinating blend of slow build atmospherics and incredible cinematics for such an old game. Its use of little to no dialogue to tell the story of Lester and his encounters with Buddy (his alien escape comrade) as they battle their way across the alien world earned a huge amount of respect from many game developers. From playing this game all the way through (which you can see here on the Grief Burrito Gamer Channel) I completely understand how this game influenced games such as Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, and Ico. To have such a consistent and believable universe crafted out of such simple visuals and sound design is something that I cant hold in high enough regard!
