Magnificent Halo!

Advantages: Fantastic story and a great playable character.
Disadvantages: It should have been possible to use the plasma sword.

Well what can I say. At a launch of a new console, the flagship games are always vitally important. If they don't sell, the console won't sell. Luckily for Microsoft, Halo:Combat Evolved has become one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time, selling over five million copies worldwide. A personal favourite for me, a game I'll never be able to forget, and a game I'll never stop playing...EVER. A true masterpiece, no one can deny Halo's dominance ...
...Developer - Bungie Studios Publisher - Microsoft Game Studios Release Date (NA) - November 15th 2001 (PAL) - March 14th 2002 PLOT: The game begins as the Pillar of Autumn begins their journey into space, where they identify a strange ring shaped structure called 'Halo'.

Review of Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox)

Perhaps the most addictive game ever.

Advantages: In my opinion the best online multiplayer you can get.
Disadvantages: Too addictive, cheaters!

...date by now what with Halo 3 around etc. This is one of my most played games ever, so I thought I may as well give it a review. I'm seeing a lot of people say how they preferred Halo 1, don't get me wrong that was a great game, and I think I'd definitely say that the single player was better, it was certainly longer. When I first cracked into Halo 2, the single player was completed very differently, so I'd say if you don't have a broadband connection ...
...didn't connect very well, whatever, Halo 2 really set the standard for online consol play, it works just as well as Halo 3 to be honest, without it I really don't think that Xbox Live would have even taken off at all. The actual game play online is superb, completely different from offline play, as the opponents are much harder. It can range from frantic shooting onto tactical stealth battles, there is a game play style for ever player, and has a ...

Review of Halo 2 (Xbox)

Pro Evolution FOOTBALL!!

Advantages: Football, easy controls, good gameplay
Disadvantages: Some teams haven't got licences to use player names

The makers of the best football game series of all time, including their early editions of International Superstar Soccer for the SNES and PS1, send out yet another fantastic re-hashing of the beautiful game. They've ironed out a few of the bugs, such as the constant fouls for handball when doing a slide challenge, that were an annoyance in PES3... however these have been replaced by irritating fouls for having the gall to run past an opponent to ...
...to choose from is a definate plus, with all the teams represented at the last World Cup plus a few more European sides in there, a total of 57 National teams - with the ability to add the "classic" World Cup sides of Brazil 70, Holland 78 and France 82. As well as the international teams, there are also the club sides of Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Holland and England, with a few of the other top teams such as the O** F***, Sparta Prague and Dinamo ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Xbox)

Forza 1

Advantages: lots of wicked cars and tracks
Disadvantages: too addictive

Well i suppose all i can say about this game is that it is the best driving game i have ever been on its just so realistic to all the other car games i have been on. some of the best points about this game has to be first of all the graphics they are just amazing they have done such a great job with the details of the cars and tracks which gives you a more and better realistic driving experience. Second of all has to be the career mode yes it takes ...
...not but i think this is a great aspect of the game i have been on this game for past five days none stop so get prepared to stay up late because once you start progressing through the career mode you wont want to leave the computer as you will be dying to see what cars are to be unlocked next. Last but not least it also gives you the option to have the proper driving line to be taken on the tracks as this is a really big help as it tells you when ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Fifa 05

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Slow gameplay

...soccer series (PES). However this FIFA 2005 was very good, especially with the new Career mode, which could almost match Pro Evolution master league. The biggest advantage that FIFA 05 has over Pro Evolution 4, is that FIFA has all the licences for all the most famous players, leagues, and clubs, whereas in Pro Evolution 4, they do not have all the licenses for all clubs, leagues and players. The game play of FIFA 05 is much better than it has been ...
...create your own tournament. So FIFA 05 is improving a lot, fun wise, even if it only improving slowly. Now to go into the manager mode a little bit more. The career mode has improved a significant amount. Instead of the career mode only going for a very small five seasons, this time the career lasts an amazing 15 seasons. Also the leagues you can join are divided up into regions. For example the Scottish premier league and all the English premier ...
