Pros Good FPS everything, vehicles, good multiplayer mode ;-)
Cons Lots of "been there done that", system requirements, progress saves only last...

If media hype is right, then Halo: Combat Evolved is one of the most anticipated games for 2003. After all the success that made the XBox what it is, Halo comes to 'save' the PC. (Nevermind that this category should be actually under Computergames instead of Videogames as it is right now.)

Pros New maps, weapons, vehicles and of course, the online play
Cons Um...kinda hi specs, 56kers
Recommended it? Yes

Halo…you could call it the game that made the Xbox what it is today. It remained exclusive to Xbox due to a deal Bungie had with Microsoft.

Pros Good graphics, Straight to the action.
Cons This game requires an intensive computer to run, even on minimum.

Pros Graphics, sound, and replay value is high.
Cons Connections get lost alot during Multiplayer.
Recommended it? Yes

Obviously you are reading this review because you MUST like RTS games and therefore are wondering if this RTS with only 2 sides is worth buying.

In one word, yes.

Mainly because it has elements that no other RTS has ever had. What it lacks in other areas it makes up for in... Read full review »
