Halo: Reach is out this week and it's everything a Halo fan has ever wanted. Our review for the game went up over the weekend plus we had a ton of footage go up as well.
Other big titles this week include the latest Professor Layton for the DS, Phantasy Star Portable 2 for the PSP, Space Invaders Infinity Gene and Sonic Adventure for XBLA. Good luck not having any intense flashbacks to the Dreamcast days when watching the Sonic Adventure opening below.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Well, you see, Halo sucks. I'll never understand how incoherent story and terrible gameplay is so popular. You want a good FPS? Half-Life 2. Story, check. Characters, check. Gameplay, check. Only thing it lacks is the one thing that sucks all the life out of most FPS's in the first place: multiplayer. Thank God for no multiplayer.
Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Halo reach for me this week. PSP2 Is the return of sega. After playing the demo I can't bring myself to hate them anymore.
It's too bad this version of Sonic Adventure is the inferior Gamecube version, and SEGA couldn't be bothered to give it widescreen or HD out of pure lazyness.
The PS2 of version of Cabela's North American Adventures is so awesome, Hamza put it twice! PS2 FTW!
Seriously though, I believe LOTR: Aragorn's Quest was only for PS2 and Wii at first. Now that it's also on PS3/360, I hope the PS2 and Wii versions don't end up suffering because they most likely prioritized the HD versions.

Legend of the guardians: the owls of ga'hool of course!!!!!
Oh god.
It's the DX version from the PC/GCN.
Which is why I won't be buying it, has less content than the disc versions with all it's Game Gear games!
Phantasy Star Portable 2: $40 - $30 Best Buy Dollars = $10
Halo Reach & PSP2 for $70. that's my kinda math!
It won't.
Bank on it.

Yeah, just because you didn't get it, doesn't make it incoherent.
