Major League Gaming's recent partnership with ESPN is inarguably bearing some pretty tasty fruit for Halo fans and gamers alike. This week marked the debut of their Top Ten Halo 3 plays feature on ESPN. The plays, all taken from Saved Films (and the entire top 10 is available at MLG Video's Fileshare, and the top five plays are in this week's Bungie Favorites) include a variety of Sniper related high jinks and some pretty incredible displays of map control.
While we're obviously extra excited by the prospect of seeing Halo 3 on ESPN, it is also pretty badical to see video games continuing to creep into other mainstream avenues – in this case, the realm of sport.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
Exciting times for competitive gamers. ESPN and MLG are bringing Halo 3 into the mainstream and will eventually show tournament gameplay. No other FPS brings the intense competition like Halo 3. These videos speak for themselves. Team Final Boss were one of the first teams to sign a MILLION dollar contract and more is sure to come. No other FPS can say that.
I need to start to upload some of my clips. I have a few tasty killtacs.
Karma's (#3) no scope off lift is SICK!
ESPN is the last place I want to see any video game news. Leave sports where sports belongs and video games where they belong.
I would love for there to be a primetime video game show that was available to the masses to see, but not on ESPN. In fact, I think I would actually be satisfied with any channel other than ESPN.
Of course, they could always air this on the Ocho!
Wow, Halo 3 on ESPN.
thats cool! But I heard that on demand was going to start a gaming system through the set-top box's in peoples homes and will add a whole gaming section for all events like gdc, e3, and MLG tourneys. Thats going to be awsome! but this will all be in good time.
They need to give that announcer an award for making that sound way more interesting than it really was.
