Deemed "child's play" by the developers of Haze back in May of '07, another contender had risen from the ashes to become the next…well…first, Halo Killer.
Some thought this immature of Free Radical, as developers ripping into games that are not their own can definitely be perceived as child's play.
The following set of quotes are from Haze Scriptwriter Rob Yescombe:
"While Halo is brilliant, you're a teenager - the next-gen is about becoming more mature, in Haze you become an adult."
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
"Let’s look at immediate games that may or may not overcome the mighty Halo: "
"Let’s stay away from direct comparisons in the future"
Kinda ironic don'tcha think?
Haven't you learned Breakfast? If you say anything good about Microsoft or their games on N4G you are automatically a troll or a fanboy. Same goes if you criticize Sony, in any way, shape, or form on N4G. The funniest thing of all is that ToughNAME is actually a good writer.
And I agree with him. The statements that Free Radical made was arrogant: "While Halo is brilliant, you’re a teenager - the next-gen is about becoming more mature, in Haze you become an adult."
It's one thing to compare a game to Halo 3 that is actually 'above average.' But Haze has received lackluster reviews from various publications. Some all the way in the 4s region.
Just another case of people hyping a game bc it is console exclusive.
And the funniest thing is that you do a little research. I would bet that all the people whining about ToughNAME being a fanboy bc of this story are "THE SAME PEOPLE" praising him for this one...LOL

..Imagine that, a hardcore 360 fanboy like ToughNAME posting a an article like that.
ouch, Free Radical eating a big ol' plate of Humble Pie.
professional about the way they do business. Honestly if said developer brags that their game is the second coming and then they're wrong, chances are it'll come back and bite them in the ass big time. The consequences are dire, with not only developer looking like a fool, but also the loss of respect by the industry and it's customers in the future. I say under promise and over deliver ever single time. If it was me, I’d only release a couple of screen shots here and there, and then come out with a kick ass game. If it flops it flops....at least I wouldn’t have to read articles like this.
Halo is great in all respects and thats why there are these comparisons. If you want to be like the champ or better you better bring your a game title with some backing. I don't think you can beat halo per say but a game sure could reach its plateau if its executed properly. halo has a huge following to xbox as much as Mario does to Nintendo the clones could never dethrone the originals thats why its important to make something new, original and appealing. Haze used gimmicks and hype to assert itself but it failed short in the final product.
