IMHO, Halo is the only good game for the XBox right now. Maybe not deserving of a Game of the Year award, but very fun nonetheless. Can’t wait for Halo 2.

But wait! I still suck at Halo 1!

Actually, we just got an x-box, and I am not good at video games anyway.

**OneChance** , I have to say that I don’t agree with the statment that Halo is the only good game right now on the Xbox. It is, I think, the best game but not the the only good game. Have you tried Elder Scrolls 3 yet? Or how about SSX Tricky? Or NCAA Football?

Back to the OP, my kids and I are totally on board for Halo 2. It sounds great! I read that the trailer (which should become availible for downloading soon) is all in game graphics and that it looks even better than the orginal. Wow. Can’t wait.
