"According to some, Halo 3 is the biggest game launch in history, but it's by far the best game. Actually, Halo 3 might be one of the least innovative and "groundbreaking" games this holiday season. Although it might just be the best thing ever, if you have never, ever, played a first person shooter before. Here are five places where the game fails to live up to the massive hype Microsoft spent millions creating."
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*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
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.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
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
but I can give you 3.96 million reasons why it kicks ass

"Halo 3 might be one of the least innovative and “groundbreaking” games this holiday season"
...lol...you know somethings wrong with the article when they say that..
"5: You’re owned by kids in multiplayer
Log on to a multiplayer session of Halo 3 and you’ll find out that it’s pretty much like Halo 2, for better and worse. Even though it manages to deliver some fun matches, a ton of them are ruined by little boys who’s only accomplishment in life is to talk smack to people they just “owned” in Halo. But notice how they never smack talk (or yell) too loud, because mommy might hear them say the forbidden words, and that means no more Halo, which is of course worse than death for these kids."
#6: You Suck At Halo.
Stick with single player games lemming, where no one can "see" just how bad you suck.
@3: So do you. BTW lemming, NO UT in 07, DS3 delays again.
halo 3 just sucks
1."""It surely could have been better. Oh, and it runs in 640p, not 720p."" if this hadn't been known you would have said amazing, And the graphics are amazing lighting, water, and textures are amazing for a game so big.
2.the grunts have sounded like that since the first game...if you didn't have a problem before your having one now on the sole reason of its halo 3 and its so big and amazing, oh and not knowing they are grunts means you probly haven't even played the game.
3.AI is amazing enemies take cover, use grenades from cover, send in advanced units first...ect If you had a problem maybe its because your retarded and didn't know how to play.
4.nothing new in terms of storyline and directing...yet SPidy 3 and halo 3 sold multimillions.... hmmm it must not suck that much if it sold so much.
5. yes because no other game is like this right? no other game on the planet has kid players, yep no other game has smack talkers, racists, retards, and bastards. Nope halo 3 is the only place they go to...Which is funny because if this we're true halo 3 would have sold 50 million units by now, because TA DA children 12 and under still make up about 50-60% of the gamer population.
Because Halo 3 def. kicks ass!!! There is a reason it is so beloved and sell MILLIONS!!!! But with success comes all the dumb people trying to bring you down.
P.S.
It is not innovative because it's not supposed to be!!! Why change what is already perfect??? Can you imagine the Backlash from Halo fans if they did try to make changes?!
