The sense of glee in discovering the game's various nooks and bits of fan service is palpable and LMG never relies on <a href=\"http:\/\/epilepticgaming.ggl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">terrible humor<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistmagazine.com\/articles\/view\/editorials\/zeropunctuation\/2304-Zero-Punctuation-Halo-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">hyper-cynical apathy<\/a> to appeal to the modern gamer; a group as defined by their desperate insistence of vitality and cultural relevance as they are by the fact that they play video games (and have terrible skin).
