You have to give Microsoft and Bungie some credit. They rolled out the hype thick and fast with Halo 3; the end result clearly outweighing the initial expenditure. In short, Bungie is laughing all the way to the bank.
According to Microsoft PR, more than 50,000 copies of Halo 3 had been sold and Australian consumers spent more than AU$6 million in just 24 hours. That makes Halo 3's debut the biggest first-day digital entertainment release ever in Australia.
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
So we know it has the biggest first day record in both North America and Australia so far. Not too shabby.
Anyone who has ACTUALLY played Halo2 and now Halo 3 and thinks the graphics are not MUCH better in 3 is insane !! Plain and simple
I don't care if it runs at 680, 1080, 180 ... don't care ... game looks AWSOME !!
And for those who sh!t on the game single player game, the multiplayer is WOW
Instant replay movies of FULL battles where you can FULLY CONTROL the replay and even do full walthroughs as in pause and move freely to the point of seeing the dash of the Warthog ... WOW
If that is not enough ... ALL MAPS are fully customizable and give YOU full control on CHANGING THE MAP in ANY WAY YOU WANT.
Lets just wait and see the GFK results.
Good for Bungie! I cant wait to see what they have next.
Truly great games do great things!
