This.

 

Someone above asked why Halo is an overrated mediocrity. It has mediocre contorl scheme, mediocre story, and sub-par gameplay. There is a reason why the PC version bombed as hard as it did. It brought nothing new to the table other than being readily available and mass marketed like no other game before.

Metroid on the other hand defined its genre, it was polished, well made, and interesting to play through, multiple times even.

God of War also was a lot of fun to play through, but lynch me if you want, it did not have the same feeling of depth and expansiveness that Metroid had. Maybe it was the shorter play through time, I don't know but it just didn't.

Stop spewing garbage without even doing a shred of research. Go look at the most played PC games on Gamespy right now, Halo:CE is ranked at 18 and the Halo demo is 22. If you had looked at the list around a year ago you would have seen Halo:CE in the top 10.

It didn't sell well on PC?! It's a port of a 2.5 year old game and according to an 2006 article by Edge magazine it ranks 20th in PC game sales. And Halo 2 PC was ported 3 years after the Xbox version not a few months as you say. the reason it did lackluster is because it came out right before the Halo 3 Beta when everyone was already anticipating its sequel.
