Enough With The Skull Masks, Already
Ghost looked pretty lame even from the first time you saw him in Modern
Warfare 2. He was kind of that cliche, forced "ooh, check out this
mysterious ***" character that really didn't add anything to a story
that was convoluted and sub-par to begin with. Then Rios and Salem had
to come back in a sequel no one wanted, and there they are, right on
the cover with stupid skull masks. Enter Halo: Reach, with Emile
bringing the skull mask look to space. It's like the video game version
of an Affliction or Ed Hardy shirt...they look stupid but you still see
them everywhere.
We all know the video game industry loves to
beat things into the ground (see: zombies), so let's end this trend now
before every shooter looks like this:
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
