  1. Links to news stories from...

All MS want to produce are sequels to their tired franchises. Does anyone even buy Halo anymore?

Halo wasn't even all that great to be honest. It was popular because it was an accessible, easy to play FPS on a console during a time when those types of games were mostly played on PC.

Totally agree! I remember being shuttled to the demo XBox by a GameStop employee who was fawning over the first Halo and I was not impressed having just finished Half Life 2

Half Life 2 came out three years after the first Halo though.

I agree. But didn't Halo come out before HL2? HL1 still kicked ass though.
