Is there life beyond Halo 2?

[kosmo vinyl]

the xbox clearily is a nice system, but head-to-head play over the internet really isn't a priority for me.  the xbox might be of interest because it has Sid Meier's Pirates being ported to it.  Kosmette is a big fan of Civilization from the good old days, but that doesn't seem to be headed to a console anytime soon.
 
 I'm intrigued by Grand Theft Auto, but would rather play other types of games first.
 
 i like the connectivity of the gamecube with the gameboy players and games.

The consoles are so cheap now. If you have a couple of games on a console you want to play, just buy the thing. Why not just be prepared to buy more than one box?
 
 You can get all three of the systems for less than I paid for my xbox.

It's a first person shooter with good graphics. You see through your characters eyes and shoot everything that moves (teammates excepted).

Liar!
 
 More PS2s have been sold and PS2 has more games. [/b]

Yes, PS2 came out a year earlier and has more titles. When I said stats, I meant, pixels, speed, graphics, etc...

@ SAL
 
 Halo is as everyone said a first person shooter, with outstanding graphics and decent physics.
 
 It was one of the first titles for xbox that got released from a small studio called Bungie Studios. Microsoft was so impressed with it, they bought it.
 
 Halo just is really an average FPS but with some decent twists, nice weapons, and big maps. It is fun to play.
 
 Recently, the sequel came out, with an added online multi-player, some updated weapons. There is a big craze for it because for some reason people who think it's the new gaming crack are on crack and don't realize how it's not that great of a game.
 
 Everyone just gets Halo2 for online multiplayer because the first one lacked it, and honestly, it is a lot like the first one.
 
 EDIT: Yes, you can draw a comparison with Golden Eye except add vehicles, bigger maps, and alien enemies.

DLA rules. thanks.
 
 i'm considering buying one of these gaming consoles too. i was pretty much set on PS2, but this Halo thing sounds really good (we would play 'goldeneye' for hours in college).

Microsoft bought bungie about 2 years before halo was released. It was initially going to be a Mac game. It follows on from the marathon series.

the online play is very much like playing games like godeneye with people in the same room. Using the headset and being able to talk shit during games is great.
 
 You need to have high speed internet though...
