This is THE launch title to own
All I can say is WOW! Just got my Xbox from preorder this morning and spent most of the day playing Halo. There are so many great things about this game, I hardly know where to begin. First off, even though this is a console FPS (First Person Shooter) the controls are absolute dynamite. I have heard numerous criticisms of the Xbox controller and I can honestly say that I found it to be not only extremely comfortable but also amazingly precise. This game doesn't make you wish for a keyboard...

Halo is Ageless
I've read most of the reviews here and have decided the majority are written by 12-24 year olds with various levels of game insight and spelling skills.I'm a fifty-seven year old dad and a 30 year veteran of corporate wars, so here's my take on Halo. I don't know squat about too many other video games (note to A Gamer - MS didn't pay me off, but I would take it if they did. So should you.), I wouldn't know a pixel from a fractal whatchamacallit, and I only use the word awesome to describe s...

HALO is a Godsend to gamers everywhere!
I must admit, I was very skeptical when I hear HALO was being moved from PC to XBOX. After playing the final version for the last week I can say this is honestly the best game I have ever played!! I am a hardcore PC shooter fan, but after getting used to the controls I thought they played just as well as a keyboard/mouse! The graphics in this game? Phenomenal. The computer AI? WOW. The music? Fantastic. When I first got in a fire-fight, and my marines started shouting tactical information ...

The must-have launch title for Xbox
Half-Life really didn't INVENT the sci-fi first-person shooter, but it sure did succeed at doing it well and popularizing the genre. The Playstation 2 had their stab at it known as Red Faction (a first-rate game, might I add) and now XBox is boarding the gravy-train with Halo. And I can safely say, after playing more 1st-person shooters than I care to mention, that Halo is a smashing success, as well as a benchmark by which future progress will be measured.The graphics, though not running a...

HEAVEN ON EARTH
This game is quite possibly the best game ever made. Now i am the kinda guy who stays up till 3 in the morning on a school night to see Commando or Rambo. I am a killing fanatic. Any game were i can feel the carnage i love it.This game rocks anyway you look at it. The multiplayer is awesome. There are so many game types it makes it almost impossible to choose which one you like. In the multiplayer there are a lot of characteristics within the settings that you can change. Only one bad ...

Halo: Fufilling your gaming needs!
You are the Master Chief, an elite soldier and Master Buttkicker aboard the human starship Pillar of Autumn. In your missions against The Covenant, you'll fight your way deep into Halo to discover its secrets before they do. Secrets that may best be left buried... As you might expect, graphics are fan-frickin-tastic. Huge, convincing outdoor environments. Monsters that look like they've been decomposing at the bottom of a swamp for a century. And the frame rate remains perky...only towards th...

Rules the school...
Pretty much the best first person shooter to date, regardless of platform, and definitely worthy of the hype. I have to admit that I was initially skeptical about all the hyperbole when I got my XBox, since I've yet to see any FPS that actually worked well without a keyboard and mouse (including GoldenEye), and very few first person shooters managing to actually involve you in the story (except for Half-Life and Deus Ex). But Halo delivers on all fronts-the storyline and scripted events are ti...
