Halo: Combat Evolved Editor's Review One of the most important games in console history is no less memorable on home computers. Glxpbuttonz.ocx Free. Combat Evolved, the first in the Halo family, was among the first games on the original (pre-360) Xbox and became the star of its online gaming system: whenever you spend an evening on multiplayer games, you owe a little debt to Halo.

That's not to say the single player version isn't great as well, though there's not much variety in the look of the various levels of the game, and nothing can compete with the sheer unpredictability of multiplayer action. Halo is a first-person shooter but, unlike most games in that genre, there's plenty of driving action as well, giving the game a little more depth. It's also notable that, while clearly science fiction, there's a degree of reality in the game. For example, your character can only carry two weapons at a time (unlike, say, Grand Theft Auto where players appear to be an octopus), so you need to put a little thought into play rather than just blasting away. By modern standards, the graphics on the PC edition aren't spectacularly impressive, though that's only to be expected given it's a straight transfer of the original Xbox edition. The good news is that, unlike the experience of some players on the game's original release, modern computers should have no trouble coping with the demands of the game.

Two years after the phenomenal success of Halo for the Xbox, Microsoft has finally ported this first-person alien shooter to Windows--just in time to promote the release of Halo 2 for Xbox. In Halo, you control the Master Chief, an enhanced soldier awakened from cryogenic sleep to save humankind from a nasty group of aliens called the Covenant. Although the PC version only adds a few maps and loses the cooperative mode, the impressive graphics, exciting gameplay, and variety of weapons and vehicles make Halo worth a try for any fans of first-person shooters. The demo features two vehicles, a substantive single-player mission, and one multiplayer map that supports up to 16 players on the GameSpy network. Both enemy and friendly intelligence are realistic, and a unique (for two years ago) defense system with rechargeable shields allows for intense firefights that don't permanently cripple the Master Chief.

Once learned, the mouse-steering system allows for some fancy driving. The environments look awesome, and a subtle soundtrack enhances the experience. Be warned that the listed system requirements are a bare minimum. Adjusting video settings may be necessary to improve performance on some systems.
