Halo

Lets start with the single player eh, s'alright.. some introduction to controls, weapons, vehicles and gameplay. Some pretty epic moments, like the end of the level "The Maw" and "two betrayals" is pretty much ALL epic.. "The Library" - probably the worst level created. Shame theres some maps looped, or just reversed. BUT the system link is bloody amazing, 50 kills AINT ENOUGH IN A LAN. Capture the flag can be just too epic and some slayer on sidewinder and the ORIGINAL MAP BLOODGULCH.

If you got a lotta mates who have a lotta space in their house, and 2-4 xbox's an tv's, AND a bunch of crossover cables, AND copies of halo, THEN youve got the recipe for a quality meal of multiplayer gaming. You'll laugh, shout, argue and cry if youre crap, ... Read More:

...even on my 360, it is one of the few old X-Box titles I still dig out along with Half Life 2 and Big Dave's Mighty Ball Bag Challenge.

Wrap it upu.

Fable: The Lost Chapters (Xbox)

I got this game mainly due to the fact I like RPGs and there are little available for the 360. Part of my gripe with Fable is largely due to the emmulation of the 360 console as opposed to the game itself however, Fable still has some irritating aspects which I'll cover first.

On the subject of the actual emmulation, the game requires at least 2 or 3 updates to be installed every time I put the game on which is a bit annoying although undertstandable. However, the emmulation at time causes my game to freeze which takes me onto my next point regarding the game.

The save procedure can be infuriating. While for the most part you can complete a "world" save which stores everything you've done you can't do this mid quest. All you can complete ... Read More:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - Sith Lords (Xbox)

It's a tough task to follw up the first KOTOR but this game met every expectation i had, it only fails to meet the levels of KOTOR because of the lack of twists in the storyline and the fact that KOTOR was the first and couldn't be surpassed even if KOTOR 2 revolutionized video games.
Alot of people saw planets gleaming and in the peak of their history in KOTOR, now we get to see how the planets look years on and what we find is building crumbling and everything in fairly poor condition.
A great storyline, good gameplay and give you plenty of entertainment.

This is my fave game EVER on the xbox! and one of the few that i have played right to the end. I love the aspect of being 'good' or 'evil' and how your character can change in looks depending on which side they are on!. The adventure part of the game is great some interesting puzzles, lots of choice to make, lots of gameplay. The graphics are pretty good and for the hard core star wars fan (which im not i'm afriad) there are some recognisable aliens and such like. I can honestly say i enjoyed every minute of playing this! and if you like this game you have the second KOTOR to have a go at too.

Even if you don't like Star Wars this is a great game in its own right! so which side are you going to be on.....?

Fable (Xbox)

When I first heard of this game, the way people talked about it made this game sound like it was potentially the best game in the world. Although it is unlikely to beat Final Fantasy it is a fun RPG with an interesting story.

One of the main features of the game is the ability to choose whether to be good or evil. Although this is very fun, and watching your appearance change and how people fear/praise you, it always feels like it's one extreme or another, trying to be neutral is incredibly diffficult.

The battle system at first glance seems like a basic button-bashing-and-blocking-when-they're-about-to-hit-you but there is more to it. Try button bashing your way out of a cave full of Hobbes, not very easy. The levelling up system also seems quite basic at ... Read More:

Halo 2 (Xbox Classics)

Just recently, I bought an Xbox that came with seven games (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Battlefront, James Bond: Everything or Nothing and Halo). They were all great games, but the game that really caught my eye was Halo. It was just a standard FPS (First Person Shooter), but there was something about it that was just amazing. Whether it was the great storyline, the great graphics, the great gameplay, I know not, but it was by far the best game I had ever played.

After completing it, I wanted more. Realising that there was a Halo 2 AND a Halo 3, I set out to get No. 2 (I'm getting an Xbox 360 for Christmas along with Halo 3 and GTA4). I started playing ... Read More:

As many will already know before purchasing this latest Doom opus, the graphics are quite impressive. Yet as most avid gamers will declare, it is the gameplay that truly matters most and to be brutally honest, I found this game to be lacking in many aspects...

An unoriginal plot with concepts snatched from various films and games, what kept me playing until the dissapointing end was merely the hope that things would get better, or even progress at all! Under the veil of nice graphics and impressive lighting effects one cannot help but see the game as a blatant rip-off with its Resident Evil suspense, carbon-copy of Half-life's storyline (if only a little fuzzy around the edges) and a vaguely interesting 'messaging' system where one can read emails of the desceased and occasionally ...
