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)

Half life 2. realistic, ragdoll, physics.

Advantages: Great game to play and experience, online fun is better than ever.
Disadvantages: Sometimes a little complicated for those who haven't played half life the original.

Anyone who knows about half life have probably already got it, because this is one awesome game. In the future, where the world is twisted and infested with zombies, you can experience amazing new ground breaking ragdoll physics and the ability to manipulate and interact with anything around you. When half life was first on the shelves, it was a new era of gaming with the intense graphics and physics, however, now there is a more comprehensive range ...
...must-have for you. This package also includes counterstrike, a terrorist vs counterterrorist first person shooter. this is very popular for online gamers, and has loads of servers for you online to play with friends or people you don't even know! I bought this game several years ago, and i still play it at least once every few days. ...

Review of Half-Life 2 (Xbox)

Lock 'n' Load

Advantages: Great physics, Great graphics, Good storyline
Disadvantages: Terrible ending

In this game you play an anti terrorist agent with an aim, an aim to put one man, the ringleader of a powerful terrorist organisation, to his death, or in a very compact cell for the rest of his days. This is a game that is fast paced, tactical and takes first person, real life shooters to a new level. You are equipped with a variety of weapons, from a sidearm to a high-tech sniper rifle, and the ability to use any means to push forward into the ...
...aspect of what can be done in real life, making the physics amazing, i.e. unloading a fresh shell, from your shotgun, into an obstructing doorway; slamming it to the floor. Another example of perfect physics is the ability to smash a grenade clear through a window, killing the occupants of the room it entered in mere moments, and in explosive fury, whereas in other inferior games a grenade would merely ricochet back into the face of the thrower. ...

Review of Black (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)

Smash that B**** BOX!!!!

Advantages: Good little platform game, addictive and challenging
Disadvantages: Can become tiresome and difficult to complete

For those who are unaware, Crash Bandicoot is a long running title that began on the playstation. Now in yet another incarnation, it has been ported onto the XBox - and quite well actually. CONTROLS: The draw of this game is the fact that you can pick it up and play in seconds. There are no fast button combinations to master and you can basically run through the early levels to pass them without any difficulty. Smart gamers will soon wisen up and ...
...You use the left analogue stick to move, with the buttons use to jump and 'flatten' things should you wish. You can also attack things while standing up, although they have to be close. Good for breaking boxes and such like, harder to defeat enemies as the timing has to be just right. Other than that, it's pretty simple really. THE GAMEPLAY: The game is based on a simple idea, which is what makes it so addictive. You basically have to get from ...
