Yes, I don't have the game, nor do I even have an Xbox. I haven't played much of the campaign mode, either.

However, my friends had the console, and we'd do multiplayer on it all the time. It was essentially the new Goldeneye... I've clocked more than enough hours to form my opinion on it. Let's be serious, I bet there are plenty of people here who would vote Smash Bros as one of the greatest games, even if they didn't have the console it's on.

halo > god of war >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> metriod prime

metroid wishes it was halo but it fails.

god of war, It contains kratos !

I played Halo more, but liked Metroid more. Go figure. I played God of War enough to know it's not #1 on the list.

METROID

oh come on. A legitimate winner is not allowed here? anyone can say the same thing if the other games were winning. it's a dead horse.

This is a tough comparison because it is across genres.

1st
Metroid Prime: This was a great game. I loved exploring, finding all the scans, finding all the items, and all the detail. Fighting was great. There were some really hectic battles. Bosses were generally epic in size and difficulty. I actually like this one better than the 2D versions.

2nd
Halo: I thought campaign mode was very good, defintely above average. Some parts I didn't like though. I thought that the parts with the Flood seemed like it was trying to be a survival horror game, and that is not what I wanted out of it. Everything else was great though.

The multiplayer was excelent. My frat brothers and I spent hours not doing homework while playing this and Halo 2 over our local net. It was great having one team all in one room on the third floor, and the other team all in one room on the second floor.

Someone said that this game showed that FPS could be done right on consoles. Didn't Goldeneye and Perfect Dark show that?

No Contest
God of War: I never played this game.

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.

Uhm, no.

Metroid Prime is 90% different from Halo, the style and intent of the games are completely different.

That being said, Metroid Prime easily.  Never played God of War and never will. It just doesn't fall within my tastes, that's all (no disrespect to those who enjoy it).

Metroid has overdone itself, God of War doesnt need to involve itself as a linear action adventure game and Halo is pretty much the best title in depth title out of the three.

You are right, Halo 2 did come out a few years later.

As to the players playing it, Gamespy is reporting 254k people playing in total. No matter which way you cut it that is a tiny fraction of people that actually play online games on the PC. Most games don't even use Gamespy, It's also reporting that 101k people are playing Half-Life 1 online right now, that's nearly half of the total and that's just BS. Also, I don't know where they got the figures for the #20 best selling game on the PC but I call bullshit on that. I could only find the Wikipedia entry for best PC game sales which goes up to at least 20 and Halo isn't even on the list there. If you find me better information than what I have found please link it and I will concede.
