You've beaten the game, you're stuck on dialup, and your entire neighborhood is populated with Sony fanboys. How do you get your Halo fix now? Play it again, Sam. But how replayable is Halo 2 compared to the original? That's the question that the latest Narc's Retort dances around and perhaps even eventually answers.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer spoke to high school students on the subject of the Xbox 2 recently, and repeated his claim that the next iteration of the Xbox would defeat Sony and Nintendo in the marketplace. Thanks Joystiq.

(It is not known whether or not he wiped the sweat from his head and threw it into the classroom as a souvenir afterwards --Ed.)

The Marathon Story page has archived an old ad for the game from Cyberian Outpost.
