There are quite a few people around that think halo is over hyped. especially in this post modern era of gears of war and bioshock.

Two games that for as popular as they are, I feel are still under hyped. Seriously great stuff compared to crappy old halo.

halo doesnt stand alone anymore, it has a lot of compitition these days, Bout time too.

Halo I think was the selling point of the original Xbox (don't know why), at the time the game seemed cool but the sequels are over the top (aren't they almost the same game - just a new storyline or something?). I have never purchased or played a Halo game, there are many better online multiplayer games to choose from thesedays.

Is that I have been a shooter fan since freaken doom 1. To have all these noobs to the genre tell me halo was the "best shooter ever made" I wont deny it was good. But the hype of it all sickened me..

I agree... Everyone knows that the new Unreal Tournament will be the best shooter ever made.
/me ducks.

But seriously, Halo is a very good game... but it does nothing innovative in my opinion. The only thing above average about the game is the music. The story line COULD be one to remember depending on the conclusion. Still, i'm much more excited about the next UT .

The original Halo when it first came out was really something quite new. It blended so many features and a great storyline so well, it was spectacular. Plus, the only game in my opinion that beat Halo multiplayer-wise was Time Splitters Future Perfect.

Now Halo 2, sheesh....It had great new features but the story was BLEH!

It doesn't take too much thesedays for a game to become over hyped, yet sadly this is the new age of gaming and kids will go totally spastic over a game that's possibly received a good feedback by a reviewer and a few other gamers. I always stay far away from the crowd and avoid over hyped games, because the hype is just like saying "YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS GAME, BUY IT OR YOUR UNCOOL" which I've seen similar comments left about games from users who review games they've played on their blogs. I don't understand why or even where the hype comes from, some games are just purely crap.

The best game I have on the Saturn is Panzer Dragoon Saga, it was the best game on the Sega Saturn - but you can already tell before I finish typing what happened - it was the best game released for the dead console and before it would even receive a slightest of hype it was forgotten (and now one of the the three or four most expensive Saturn games).

Unreal Tournament was great, As far as depth and story, Ut was was superior to halo in my opinion.

Finaly someone who agrees with me! Ut is such a great game, its no wonder why games like stranglehold and bioshock are being built on the Unreal engine.
