Half Life: decent FPS until the alien levels, where it becomes worse than anal tearage. The Self spews indisputable fact, oozing like luke-warm viscous treacle, smothering the impurity of doubt. G-Man is NOT around to help you escape from your terrible, yet informed doom.
Must dash, I've had a great idea for a new book - it's about a husband and wife, a pair of twits who eat pies made from meat scavenged from trees, and they also keep unruly, mutinous birds. I'll add a horrific ending, maybe the couple will <b>shrink into their own bodies</b> or something. It'll be ace! Definitely not for the kids, though - to my dismay! Self-gone!"</i>
Hang on a sec.. would I be right in thinking Halo 2 is XBOX only? Will it get a port to PC later on, like the first Halo? Or is this just a purely XBOX affair..?

How so? I mostly enjoyed the original Halo on PC [up until the flood came along.. that just ruined it for me].
But I can understand not wanting to bother putting a decent effort into porting it to PC. Cheaper and easier just to focus on either one or the other. But personally I think consoles are getting redundant..

I hadn't got too far into the game Xbox, but I thought it was pretty fun. So, I bought (read: wasted) $50 for Halo on PC. I was having a ball, and then the flood came. After I met the flood, it felt like I was in some kind of bad Resident Evil game.

if it wasnt a console exclusive, i might be interested in it.
I enjoyed Halo for PC, and wasnt really bothered that much by the architectural blandness (think about it, its a large spaceship/underground complex. Many parts of it look the same. could this be because *gasp* it is cheaper/more efficient to make multiple pieces from the same mold/however they create pieces?? OMGBBQ!?!?!?111!?1
I liked the flood. It fit nicley into the story. Spoilers highlight to reveal

Various other adventures. Explores Halo some more then the computer chick in his head talks about how this is not natural (biggest duh in the game).
The flood are the weapon of halo. If they get off Halo, the universe is ****. He finds out that creepy robots want to destroy all life in the universe using the flood. Goes through painintheassprocesstoblowupshipsengine saves the universe.

My point in posting this anecdote (and you thought there wasn't one), is that these guys all seemed to think that Halo was the pinnacle of FPS. It never occurred to them that Control Pad < Mouse + Keyboard. And oh dear lord it was so their loss.
Very true. It's a fun FPS, and its a very very fun time when you add 8 people hooked up on LAN and alcohol. Hell, even minus the alcohol, and its still very fun.
It didn't add anything new to the FPS genre. It may have added new things like "fun" and "squad based teamwork" to the console-FPS genre, but that's no reason to call it the greatest game ever.
