Yes, and it uses guns....and those have been in like every game ever.

Your standard for 'original' or whatever you are going for is just bizarre.

The coop, Lan multiplayer, vehicles and overall polish of the first Halo is what made the series legendary. The Halo mechanics -- dual weapon, recharging 'shield', control scheme, etc....have been copied by every FPS for the last decade. This is the game that made consoles the lead platform for FPS games.

And, with respect to the studio, Bungie has been making FPS games since the Doom days. Marathon was revolutionary in a number of ways that would be easy to take for granted.

One of Sony's absolute best titles on 360? NO.

Of course the R&C IP is a Sony IP so that won't go to any other platform right now.

If it's a choice between folding as an exclusive developer or surviving by going multiplatform, please by all means go multiplatform. The more people get to experience their craftsmanship and design chops the better for the industry as a whole and, more importantly, them.

It's too bad their latest didn't sell well enough, but they might have a bit of an identity crisis in the area of games that skew younger. They're up against the monstrous power of the Wii dominating the family buying dynamic.

And really, if they make a new young-skewing platformer with the tightness of R&C (even if graphics on the Wii would be lower-res) they could make a killing and make a humorous and fun game to play.
