Halo!!!

Finally M$ is letting it get released to the PC- before Halo2 is released for consoles... grrrr!

Sucks that it originally was for PC until M$ got wind and bought Looking Glass Software to make the game for the Xbox. I'm glad the fanbase has allowed updates and stuff to be done to the Thief series...

I'm eagerly awaiting Fable's PC edition. :D
I get in from work at 2 a.m. and sit down with beer
Turn on late night TV and then wonder why I'm here
It's meaningless and trivial and it washes over me
And once again I wonder is this all there is for me

havent played the xbox version, but was enjoying both single player and multiplayer on it, even though the whole dial up thing takes some of the fun out of it :D

earlier today, a game called Nosferatu got installed on my computer, and 4 or 5 hours of my life disappeared. its pretty nifty :D

its like an old horror movie in color, those lines goin down the screen and shtuff

the sound is done pretty well too, the music that starts when something is after you works out pretty nicely

heres a link to the site if anybodys interested

wow... i spend too much money on games :(

I've played Halo on the Xbox. It's one of my favorite games. I like going coop with somebody else and wasting aliens. I can't say that it's better than UT or any other frag-fest out there. I'm not that loyal. But I will say that it's a solid game that will eat up a lot of your spare time if you run through the single player levels.

But, there's no way that I'm even going to attempt playing it on a laptop with 16 megs of video memory. Geez, I've gotta get my other system built.

lol- at least to you Halo won't matter ;-) I think it's fun to take the giant tank and run over your friends :D

UT2k4 is supposed to have some Halo elements in it...

Considering the large fanbase and reputation that Halo already has, I think that it definitely will give HL2 a run for it's money. You can count on it. Of course, I could say the same for HL2. Both games, as far as I know, are nothing short of legendary. But, time will tell . . .

I just got HALO yesterday and other than the messy multiplayer setup, its not to bad..although i dont think Halo's capture the flag will be better than TFC for HL. All in all, still not a bad port from console to PC i guess
