Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox

Pros: graphics, intersting enough story, multiplayer, controls, good level design
Cons: only if you hate first person shooters

You read many of my reviews... and likely a few of scattered gaming reviews I've posted. I got my XBox on release day after finishing the graveyard shift at the hospital. No lines and no preorder. I got a XBox in less than 10 minutes after I entered...

Pros: Graphics,Sound,Multiplayer,Single Player,the game is just great
Cons: a few more vehicle multiplayer levels wouldnt have gone amiss

While I am fully aware that the last thing the world needs is another Halo review, especially one that isn’t anything dramatically different from the other ones out there in content, I feel like writing about what has become one of my favourite games in ...

Pros: graphics, gameplay, story, Master Chief is so cool
Cons: lame indoor environments, a couple of bad frame rate drops

Out of all the system releases, out of all the different games available at launch, there has only been one system that has REALLY peaked my interest, and that system would probably be the Dreamcast with Soul Calibur, followed by the Gamecube with ...

Pros: Gameplay. Graphics. Audio.
Cons: ...load times?...

"Fans of the FPS genre are a finicky bunch. With fierce competition, the PC has always been leaps and bounds above consoles for this type of game... until now."

The humbling
First Person Shooters have always been the...

Pros: Controls, sounds, graphics, weapons.
Cons: Human vehicles.

Halo is an example of a game that I was personally determined not to review, not today, not tomorrow and not any time within my own life. Afterall, no matter how good it could have been I was sure that it would have been little more than a ...

Pros: great gameplay, nice guns, vehicles, gorgeous graphics
Cons: cannot use bots in multi-player mode

Sadly, I did not purchase Halo for a very long time. When I first got my Xbox, I was too busy ...

Pros: Exciting gun play action. Superior graphics and sounds.
Cons: The controls are awkward at first. Some boring single player moments.

HALO (Microsoft/Bungie, November 15, 2001) It was only a matter of time but here is my review of the legendary Halo! Sure, as I'm writing this, Halo is still a fairly new title on a pretty new game system (Xbox of course) but in such a short ...

Pros: Great graphics,game play ,effects,excellent AI
Cons: Limited replay value-offline

I purchased HALO much against my typical aversion to first-person shooters, but was quite surprised at this enormously addicting game. I fired this bad boy up on my Xbox at 2pm and was up until 3 am screaming obscenities at the alien targets..LOL. This...

Pros: Almost everything.
Cons: Load times, no online play.

Only those who have ever played a first-person shooter on a console prior to the creation of Bungie’s Halo: Combat Evolved for the XBox truly understand what a triumph this game is. Even today I still occasionally have Sega Genesis Zero ...

Pros: Months of replay value, awesome graphics, co-op campaign mode, multiplayer, many tricks and secrets...
Cons: No bots in multiplayer

A little less then a month ago, my mother bought an Xbox for me and my father. With it she bought an extra controller, Halo, and SSX Tricky. First off, I played Halo. I had heard all great talk about the game and knew I would love it. Halo has become my...

Pros: Graphics, gameplay, realistic weapons, & story
Cons: Single Player Mode & Voice Instructions

I have always liked playing first person shooters (FPS). I have played Doom and Duke Nuke'em 3D on the PC ad nauseum for years. I have always been told the PC is the place for FPS games and I believed it. However, the gaming console has caught up to ...

Pros: Dang 15 word limit! Don't think I can fit them all.
Cons: It was a little on the short side.

It's the year 2552. Earth still exists, but we've expanded our territory considerably. Unfortunately, this doesn't sit too well with an alien coalition known as The Covenant. And, this being an action game, the Covenant is solving this by blasting the...

Pros: Visuals, sound, plot, cooperative story mode
Cons: Weak multiplayer battle modes

Pros: Engaging story, incredible visuals, excellent voice acting.

I remember the day when Steve Jobs unveiled Halo at the Macworld Expo in the summer of 1999. There had been some rumors and hype about the game, but none of it prepared me for the real-time demonstration prepared by Bungie Software. I had played...

Pros: Basically Everything From Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, Oh The Sound!
Cons: --------- There is the space for when I find one.

Halo is great first-person shooter madness at your fingertips. In fact, it goes to the hear to the genre from the moment the disc tray slides into the Xbox…that’s right, the Xbox. You’ve been considering getting one of the Microsoft behemoths (which, to...
