F**k Halo 3 - Here's 10 massive games to play instead

Since Christmas 2007 is the first bumper holiday period that PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii can all go at it like knives in a cut-throat competition, you won't be surprised to discover that, yes, there is life outside Bungie's megapiece. So here's what's on offer - no dross, no toss, just blockbuster sized AAA entertainment. And not a Spartan in sight...

1.1 - funny title

don't know how many times i had to resort to saying that after the barrage of xbums at Best Buy and Gamestop trying to convince to switch to the other side because of Halo.

they totally ignore when i say i don't even like fps's and continue to say things that are completely untrue like "ps3 has no video chat" "ps3 has no good games coming this year" and my favorite "remote play won't work until next year" LOL!!!!

i always follow up with, "How did you guys even get this job?" "Have you even played ps3?"

i just had to get that out because i went through it today when buying NG:Sigma. can't wait for some of the games on the list though.

1.3 - nothing is wrong with owning both.........

i owned (own, my cousin has the 360) both. i'm just not interested in any of the games coming out for 360. and with my busy schedule i don't have time to play both systems. i got about 15 ps3 games and i barely get a chance to play those.

Dude don't even try to lie and say you have been playing Halo, just checked a few of your old comments and you are one of the biggest Halo/Xbox bashers out there. I mean to a story about Halo about to go on sell the only thing you write is "GAAYLLOOO." Give it up,

and lose a bubble.

Same maps? There's only one map that was re-done: Zanzibar. I would have agreed with you if your facts were actually accurate. Are you playing the game on an HDTV? Do you honestly think outside of the fact that it's a Halo game that it is that similar to Halo 2? They've added more than "a few gimmicks." Have you messed around with Forge yet? Done any saved films? I won't say they changed a whole of the gameplay (if it's not broken, why try to fix it?), they went back to many things that made Halo 1 awesome. Halo 3 is fun, and that's all that matters. The environments are huge and immense; and although you think the story is lame, I would argue that it's a pretty epic story (although this is opinion; so is your "story is lame" argument...it can't be proven, so really shut the hell up about it bud).

Almost nothing is known about Killzone 2, so I would strongly encourage everyone creaming their pants over it to loosen up and actually wait for some real footage (more than a couple minutes off screen at a game show) and/or a demo. It shows promise, but the first one blew ass, so I see no reason this one should blow everyone away (what do you mean...Sony said it would...waaaah, they never lie (yes, MS lies as well. Sony isn't any different though so get off your pedestal please).

Really just stop complaining about the game. If you bought and are seriously that disappointed, sell the damned thing. What will complaining on this site do? Either have fun with the game (if you can't have fun with Halo 3, that's unfortunate), or shut up about it. Invite some buddies online and do some co-op. The series has always been at its best when bringing a bunch of friends together; that is what made it awesome to me.

4.1 - Seriously

I love Halo 3 but that doesn't mean I've totally forgotten about everything else that's coming out. Do you really think the future sales of the games on this list will be affected because Halo 3 came out several months before. Let's not forget, the 360 has seen success in the past 2 years and that success was earned without the Halo franchise. There are other games on the 360 that are great too.

This site blows ass...it's just flame-bait after flame-bait article. And the worst part is there is a strong anti-MS and anti-Nintendo, and a very strong pro-Sony tone in this site. Who the hell runs it? There's so much misinformation and opinion being passed off as "news". I really don't know why I come here. I thought it was a cool concept...kinda like a Digg, but for videogames. It sounds awesome in principle, but since there is absolutely no control (or because the people in control let it get out of hand), very few articles on this web site are worth reading through.

Give me a break dude...If sony sometime managed to create a franchise as popular as halo...but then again...360 is the only option for someone who enjoys fps.So stick to playing lair and heavenly sword and stop caring about halo...it sold almost 1m at day 1(preorders not taken into account)

Ill admit theres better games out there, but to say they're all better then "Gaylo" is silly, for all we know they will turn out like Heavnly Sword and Bioshock, over hyped pices of poop.

Assasins Creed IMO will be one of those games everyone buys, plays for a while and then hurrys to trade it in or try 2 return it.

13.1 - LOL @ Haze Comment

Hello, people still playing Halo 2 after about 3 years. Haze comes out in about 2 months from Halo 3. You think all those 1.8 million people is going just stop playing Halo 3. That is funny. The whole videogames loyalists is funny. These are just games people. I mean whats up with the hatorade. If you do not like a game or system. Than you buy somethng else. Do not hate on a game or system for doing well. You crazy fans are not getting any money from Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo. It's just crazy. Stop hating!!!

You seem to be missing the fact that the list is not at all conclusive. It's missing key PS3 titles Uncharted, Haze and Unreal Tournament. Your point therefore is completely irrelevant so I advise you to refrain from making more posts which are likely to betray your stupidity.

how, for the love of Cortana, was I dissing the PS3? You think I don't know the PS3 LIST for fall 2007 like the back of my hand by now?!!!...yes, they left alot of games off the list...better ones than some listed in my opinion...the PS3 has 5/10 games on the list and you think I think that is bad? come on...I didn't diss anything...EVERYBODY on this site must know that I am ps360 by now...take those blinders off and just see what is in front of you...a list...stupidity is when GamesRadar says "F" Halo 3, after giving it a perfect score this past Sunday...and if you think I thought a list of 10 games, when gamers are coming up on one of the best gaming holidays in HISTORY, was all conclusive...dude, come on...

For the most part, I think people are just annoyed at Halo because it is massively overhyped. If the game lived up to the hype, it would be years ahead of it's time, with unquestionably good graphics and gameplay. A game of unparalleled genius and quality. However, it's just a good game. It annoys us that people ignore truly excellent games such as Bioshock because of it. Does that help you to understand at all?

A list like this just shows that there are may great games coming out during this holiday. The problem is just to afford them all.

I think i would have included some other games than the ten here though (UT3 especially), but that`s almost always the case with any list anyway hehe ;)
