Halo 3 for Xbox: Finish the Fight
If you were ever to think of the best first-persons hooter for the Xbox console, what would you think of? Halo 3 for Xbox, am I right? Critics all around the world agree, especially when it boils down to the first Halo game Halo: Combat Evolved. The game is considered a scientific first person shooter, the gamer plays as the main character that goes by the name of Master Chief. Master Chief has been hailed by many as the Silent Warrior, since he's known for not saying much during cut scenes or game play in general. The gamer has an AI companion who goes by the name of Cortana. Through Cortana the gamer learns a lot of the background information during game play, plus, she also provides a lot of comedic relief.
In 2000 when Halo: Combat Evolved came out, it sold 6. 5 million copies and broke entertainment industry records. Due to quick sales and constant uprising of the game, it also quickly became Xbox's flagship enterprise. Four years later came the release of Halo 2.

Halo 3 quickly became the largest pre-ordered game in history and sold over $170 million worth of copies within its first 24 hours of release.
Although gamers know that Halo is for Xbox, the developer's have put out the games to be available for the home PC.
