Halo 4 looks exactly like Doom3. I don't say I don't like it, but Halo3 was much more original. 

said exactly the same to a friend yesterday ^^

Warning: NWS COCK at the end but a huge variety of coolness before that.

I'm pretty sure that was used as the design for one of the bosses in Shadow of the Colossus.

Very self aware design and disection of the why's and wherefore's.

And this comment from the article it links made me laugh:

Because it's exactly fucking right.
