Halo 1 and 2 were the most overrated pieces of shit put into the gaming community ever, period. Having said that, Halo 3 looks pretty cool, and maybe when it comes out for the PC in a year or so I might waste some bandwidth and pirate myself a copy.

Edit: Found a neat little Halo 3 review that sums up my sentiments towards the previous two enstallments: http://www.tomsgames.com/us/fringedrink ... d_hal.html

The original halo was fucking awesome are you kidding me? I never play console games but I loved that game.

The only fps type game I ever played that was better was probably half life but the half life games were never limited by the console control gayness and such.

edit:

One more thing. With these really good games and high rated games a lot of reviewers score low just for shock value. If everyone is scoring something high then if you score it low everyone will ready it. For reference check the arstechnica review of halo which made next to 0 sense.

A lot of the issues people have with games are stupid. Why didn't halo have jaw dropping graphics? Because it was like fucking 4 years ago and the best game out at the time didn't do much better than halo.

The original Halo was the bomb-diggity, but I will agree that Halo on the whole is probably one of the most overrated popular games.

"Pieces of shit" was more my sentiment towards Halo 1 and 2, not so much how I actually feel about the games. I would consider them decent, and much better than most FPS titles for consoles, but I could probably also list a number of games that came out at roughly the same time that were much better.

Didy is right, Console side of things Halo was nice but there was much better things out on the PC at the same time.

Been busy working. Waking up at 6am sucks. =/

Wasn't playing games much because my video card had been running hot - figured out there was just a massive buildup of dust in the heat sink and it's running fine again. Bring on Hellgate: London!

Yes sir! I preordered Hellgate London and I'm getting ready to make a big comeback with that. I just dont have the time for WoW raiding.

I am no fanboi but I am curious as to what these games are that were out around that time that were better than halo.

I would like to be enlightened!

There are few games out of all genres that are any good. I think halo was up there with some of the best games of its generation regardless of genre.

Half-Life, of course.
Thief
System Shock 2
Deus Ex
Red Faction
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Max Payne
Medal of Honor (first one)
Metroid Prime

hmm, thats all I can think of off the top of my head, maybe there are more, but Id say thats a pretty solid list right there.

First of return to castle wolf was horrible.

Secondly some of the games you have there are not console games and some more of them are not even really fps (deus ex is more of an rpgish thing)

Thirdly some of the titles you have there were made years before halo (for example halflife).

I have played most of the games you have there and even forgoing the points I just raised, I think half life and deus ex are probably the only 2 I would say are better than halo.

I think halo has pretty much proven itself over the years. Only nubs say its overrated.

Deus Ex > almost every other game I've played. But as I mentioned before, Morrowind is pretty fun.
