In the months leading up to the Xbox launch, it's been hard to have a conversation about Microsoft's new system without a mention of "Halo," Bungie's intense first-person shooter. Originally conceived as a PC title, "Halo" has made up a large portion of the anticipation surrounding the Xbox since Microsoft acquired Bungie and announced that the title would be an Xbox exclusive. The question, of course, is whether or not "Halo" will live up to everyone's expectations. Surprisingly, the finished game is a first-person shooter with many twists, turns, and improvements that makes for an excellent and incredibly enthralling game. Even though it falls a few steps short of what the hype has built it to be, "Halo" is one of the major selling points for Xbox, especially for fans of action and adventure games.
