Yes it is. I was never a FPS fan until Halo. Halo is easily the best game i have ever played.

OH YES IT IS! If you had chance to battle through the campaign mode, with another human friend in 5.1 dolby digital surround sound on a big T.V. You would then realise what it's all about

Prior to the xbox's release i did not encounter much hype at all. I chose the xbox as it had very good specs and a strong lineup of games. I only then realised how special Halo actually was, when i bought an xbox bundled with halo on launch day. So i don't think Halo was over hyped, especially after playing solidly through this game

I'll look at this list from my point of view:

Not too impressive as a First Person Shooter, and I'll be able to get it on PC soon.
> Blinx: The time sweeper
Played it, and thought it was too bland and slow moving. Plus, I'll be fine with Mario and the crew.
> Unreal Championship
Decent game, I guess, but with Unreal Tournament 2003 out on PC which is better anyway, I can live without it.
> Dead or alive 3
Never been into beat 'em ups much, so I'll be fine with Super Smash Bros. Melee and possibly Mortal Kombat when it comes out.
> Amped
Average and quite dull snowboarding game in my opinion. I'm looking forward to 1080 White Storm when it's released, anyway.
> Project Gotham Racing
I didn't like Gran Turismo 3 that much, so I doubt this'll do much for me. Plus, I've got racers such as Burnout to keep me occupied.
> Rallisport Challenge
If I want a decent rally game, I'll pick one from the list available and planned for GameCube.

I don't want to sound like a fanboy (it's just my opinion after all), but I really can't find one game that's only on X-Box that I want.

I'm going to have to agree with auf deutcsh on this one.

they will:
price to make halo PC game = £2 to £5
selling price of halo in PC = £20 to £30
total profit per game = £15 to £28 and lets say 10,000 sold (lots more i bet)
so thats £150,000 to £280,000, i wold do it for that kind of profit. make SENSE now?
