Halo ... I just can't see the appeal ... it's a generic FPS with a lame story ... it's perfected blandness. I can only guess that the mp is the main appeal and since I don't like competitive mp too much I may just not get it. I just don't see what's so special about it - there are so many fricking FPS out there - why is this one the be-all and end-all of this huge group of games.
And some of that goes for my #2 (Final Fantasy) as well. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big FF fan, but I just don't get the hype. There were some great FF games in the 20+ year long history of the franchise, but there were some mediocre ones too. Yet every new entry to the series is celebrated as the reinvention of gaming, when most of the time there is barely anything innovative at all in those games.
