The German magazine GameStar has posted a Halo review that's drawn some fire from fans over in the HBO forum. For one, apparently it's a little more critical than most of the others we've seen in the English language press of late; it accuses Halo of being unoriginal of all things, then gives away just about all of the plot.

Beyond that, however, Uriel pointed out that they quoted one Boris Schneider-Johne somehow connected to MS' Xbox operations in Germany as laying out a general schedule for the PC conversion of Halo, giving a release date of fall 2002 .

Matt Soell replied that even Jason Jones doesn't really know yet how that's going to be done, and so it's unlikely this guy does, either, whoever he is.
