Halo does rock.
And I recently read about another Jack "Jerk Thomphson" Thomphson incident that happened in '05. He said that a company should make a violent game (which I thought he was against) about a father whose son was killed by another kid who played Grand Theft Auto (he specifically said to use GTA). The father, instead of, say, mourning, or possibly even going to the police, does what any real dad would do in that situation: murder everyone he meets, including pedestrians, policeman, and innocent bystanders who did not kill his son. Then he said that he would donate something like $10,000 to any company who would produce this game, saying that take-Two Intercative would (although Jerk and Take-Two had no agreement). He never actually did, because he's a jerk, but the guys who write Penny Arcade donated that to Take-Two, and Jerk tried to get them arrested.
