10 most frustrating things about gaming online
I'd say one of the worst things is being put into a game thats about to finish.

You've just managed to get a bit of spare time, so you fancy a quick game of COD4 or similar. You log in, manage to keep your sanity through the inevitable "Couldn't connect to server" that happens at times, and just when you finally manage to get in a game, you checkthe score and you've got 10 seconds left before you're back in the lobby and it starts again!

As good as online is, they need to make it so it's more about playing online and not waiting around trying to play online. In some games you hardly get any play time as the networking is so bad.

Classic mistakes rookies always make
Also just to add, the pressing wrong button on menu's - most of the older PS1 games used triangle for back, not circle - I remember that transition feeling very weird for me but now thinking of triangle as back seems so very, very wrong.

You know, the traditional "Red Ring of Death" is only 3 of the 4 lights - you can't criticise someone new to games about thinking that the full 4 lights is the RROD because IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT'S A RING!

Heh :D everything else in the article is spot on, I've done a few of these myself.

Halo Wars in 90 seconds
Okay, so I haven't played the Halo games so I don't know how likely this would be but how about...

Master Chief is Sgt John Forge's son. Ages seem to fit judging from the comments already posted, perhaps MC was an unborn child when his father died at the end of Halo Wars, father obviously given some sort of medal in his honour, when MC is born he is named after his father in his honour.

Also explains the resemblances in looks. But really, I have no idea how likely any of that could be - something for you halo fans to decide.

I only just managed to get the demo today, finally back online. And it's really good. But I'd rather have Prince of Persia, and don't have enough money for both. Will definately be picking this one up at some point though.
