Haze: Combat UN-Evolved

If you keep your ear to the proverbial internet ground like I do, then you’ve been hearing the soft squeals of glee that have been coming from PS3 users over a game called HAZE.

What is Haze you ask? Actually, you probably didn’t ask that, but I’m driving this bus and I take it where I please. Haze is PS3’s answer to Halo. There’s no better way to describe the game. It is a shoddy and poor excuse of a replica, which will undoubtedly be a hit because PS3 gamers have nothing else going for them.

Saying Haze is a carbon copy of Halo is a large accusation, so here’s the proof. A bullet point list of seriousness that can never be refuted.

  • Haze has four letters, Halo has four letters and they both start with H!

BOOYAH! I believe that’s one point for my side. Come on now, at least go with a name and logo that doesn’t make it easy for a fifth grade graphic artist to change it into something resembling Halo.

  • Both games are starring armored goons that strike gay poses at random intervals.

Nothing says you are about to die, like a gay pose.

  • Apparently all Rifles in the future have digital read outs.

  • Want vehicles? Well Haze’s got your answer to the Warthog and the Mongoose. With.. Exact.. Copies.. Of the Warthog and Mongoose.

Now for the more mundane:

  • Rechargeable shield? Check!
  • Checkpoints, identical melee animation, and very similar grenades. Double Check!

I win. I believe this case has been settled, the defense rests, court is adjourned, don’t forget to tip your waitress.
