It deserves it when its a good game.
Halo: CE was a brilliant FPS, one of the best I have ever played at that time.
Halo 2 was also a very good game but it seemed they took a step back on the story to focus on MP, not something I would've done but still very good game.
Halo 3 was kind of a let down because they took another step back in the story department to focus on the MP. The graphics were sub-par but the brilliant controls were still there, I never got into the MP mainly because I had my PS3. And it shouldnt always be about the MP, if thats the case just cut out the story mode and focus on MP.
Halo Wars, from what little I have played of it was alot of fun. It actually made RTS games on a console fun to play.
This is all my opinion


I just want to say for someone with almost 900 trophies (meaning you probably spend a lot of time on your PS3) and with a fairly anit-360 signature, you have some really fair posts almost all the time. Kudos to you sir!

Thank you, I guess, but what is so anti-360 about my sig?  I even mention my 360 in my sig!!!!!  And I have a pic of it in my profile, but not one of my PS3.    If its the comment about the exclusive games then it goes both ways for PS3 and 360 owners.

They are all great games, but it makes me sad that Halo 3 sold 10 million when far better games haven't even sold 1/3 of that

Halo 2 multiplayer has not been matched yet.

I know. We should really not need to defend the best game ever.

Well maybe they weren't far better games if more people bought and enjoyed Halo 3 more than the other games...

Does the game deserve its popularity? Absolutely.

Does it deserve the critical acclaim that it gets? Probably less so. Hype tends to inflate scores.

Halo speaks for itself in both Sales and Critical acclaim.
