Brain Challenge is the worst. I downloaded the demo and tried it out. And apparently i only use 0% of my brain power...who would've thought.

The stupid game didnt have to tell it like it is.

boogeyman9996282d ago

Yeah, Brain Challenge was bad. Good to see GH3 booted off the bottom 3. And how big is the gap between COD4 and Halo 3 that a Halo map pack still couldn't put it at top?

Breakfast6282d ago

Both map packs are coming out around the same time. Cod's and Halo's.

But, Halos map packs come with the 2 classics, Sidewinder and Lockout :)...and Cod coming out with one, Chinatown, which is a remake of one of the earlier cod games.

I doubt will see much of a change next month

boogeyman9996282d ago

Yeah, doubt much change as well. If they are both being released at the same time, and I think COD's maps are stronger anyways.

You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.

My favourite of the series... I have only played 3 though

Never a big fan of the original but number two blew me away with it's scale, the bit at the beginning when you're driving a tank across this giant bridge whilst shooting down flying enemies lives in my head. Always rocked the double needler

gigoran8215d ago

as much as I liked it, it was one of the first game endings where I went "you gotta be f'ing kidding me!"

Lamusiqa215d ago

I still remember the gameplay reveal during E3 2003.. Man, the graphics was like a major upgrade from Halo 1 and it blew everybody's mind. It looked miles ahead of anything on PlayStation 2 and the score was epic! When it launched, Halo 2 was worthy of every bit of hype it generated.

Elit3Nick215d ago

They actually just released the E3 demo recently for MCC. It's unreal to actually see people finally playing something from 20 years ago.

darthv72215d ago

2 & 3 had the best teaser trailers back in the day. The score is so memorable.

goken215d ago

Where are the calls for a remake eh?

cthulhucultist215d ago

This in my opinion is one of the best Halo games (Alongside 1 and Reach). It introduced the prophets, you could play an elite which was awesome, dual handling SMG, amazing graphics for its time on original Xbox and so many more.

The city levels had flat textures and streaming issues but the assault on the Temple with the ODST team was an unforgettable experience. I still remember how detailed the buildings covered with moss and grass were like and the water element in the temples was perfectly utilized.

Replayed this gem on MCC and had a blast.

Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.

Darth,

That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.

CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.

darthv72325d ago

That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.

Bathyj325d ago

No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.

andy85325d ago

Sweet. Never got round to it on release. I'll give the campaign a go

chicken_in_the_corn324d ago

Severly underrated game. Big improvement over 2.
