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 ...

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 ...

XIII Unlucky for some. But not me!!!

Advantages: Its a shoot em up
Disadvantages: Very frustrating

I am a great lover of shoot em ups, I had played all the games I had to the max and wanted to try something new. I was in choices one day and I came across this. I had had a little go one it before around a friends and thought I'd give it a shot. ***The Story*** You wake up on a deserted beach and taken to a nearby car, but before you get there you pass out. When you awaken there is a woman in a swimsuit (who looks like a Baywatch Babe) talking ...
...dead. Now you must find out who you are. the story begins..... ***Playability & enjoyment*** This game unlike other shoot em ups is not hard to put down. after about 30 minutes of playing it I am always stalking round the house looking for something else to do. Its not that its rubbish, its just really frustrating. ***Weapons*** There is a good array of weapons to choose from including hand guns, automatic and semi automatics, grenades and my ...

Review of XIII (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)

Unreal Championship

Advantages: Excellent multiplayer and Xbox Live compatible
Disadvantages: Not so excellent single player

Powered by an incredible Unreal engine, Unreal Championship roars into life as the first of the Unreal series to appear on the Xbox. And roar into life it does! Plenty of blood, guts and general FPS action to had in this game, which follows the classic Unreal Tournament structure: excellent multiplayer with a single player that looks like it was thrown in as an added extra. PLOT: Next to no plot really. The single player sees you take part in series ...
...are also relics from previous Unreal games. Domination is too, but has been significantly improved for this game. It is a team game, with two points on the map that need top be controlled simultaeneously for ten seconds by one team to score a point. This can prove much more difficult than it sounds, especially in the single player where you have to rely on at least one point being controlled by bots. Bombiong Run is my personal favourite. A team ...
