Those scores are meaningless

one person reviews a game, so if they like one over the other they are bound to rate it higher.

More people like Half Life though and i agree with them, the game has more substance.

The Half Life engine has influenced the game industry much more than the Halo engine has.

Fanboys are so funny, using biased reviews of a overrated game as factual evidence of said game's superiority over another (clearly better) game. ^^

LOL, I'm sure you wouldn't be saying this if Half-Life scored higher... Love these comments.

The general critics and the most important ones scored Halo higher. Much better and significant than Half-Life.

My point was that I don't care too much about critic scores. If you like Halo better, that's fine. I don't.

You forgot to include to the Half-Life quotes

Gamespot: "Half-Life is the closest thing to a revolutionary step the genre has ever taken."

IGN: "Nothing half-assed about it--this has to be the finest shooter ever crafted."

Plus the fact consoles have lower standards for games, ESPECIALLY at the time of release of CE.

IT is still true, platform standards are HUGE on PC, while console didn't have anything that great after Goldeneye/PD, PC always pushed the bar thus making future games harder to stack up against older games that truly changed the genre. Im not knocking consoles, but its the truth, and i think most people realize that standards DO exist.

That was before the higher-scoring, no-brain triple A, unpredecent, never-before-seen, groundbreaking, life-changing Combat Evolved.

But yeah, you're right. I forgot them.

Halo > Half-Life

half-Life 2 > Halo 2

As influential as Half-Life was quite frankly the game bored me at times. Half-Life 2 IMO is one of the few sequels to improve on the original.

Precisely.;) Most console shooters are "average" compared to those on PC. Many PC shooters actually require teamwork, tactics, and skill. Something many console FPS lack.

Yeah, I guess Halo is one of them, because basically most console shooters score 9.5+ on almost all sites and are being called one of the greatest games ever and greatest shooters ever and are all commercially successful and have a great impact on the FPS genre.

What impact did Halo have on the genre, exactly? The only thing it did wsa popularize them more - put another way, prove that they could be done - on a console. This has nothing to do with the quality of the game, it simply brought what PC gamers had been enjoying for years to a more mainstream audience.

Right after the 360's cycle halo will die out, and some other new FPS will take its place just like every single other console FPS, it just happens, Everyone will forget about halo and move on to something else, while CS will be going strong for another 10 years.

Did Halo sell more than 9 million copies? Hmm? BTW, I found out that Half-Life sold 9 million copies through a GameInformer issue. It was in late 2008, so you may want to look up GI's site for a link.

There's no need, I've been to internet cafes in south korea, phillipines and taiwan and everyone there plays CS. And internet cafe's are as common as convenience stores in oriental asia. A mention of Halo there will get you laughed at literally.

Or you can just look at all the games hosted on CS 1.6, CS: Condition Zero and CS: Source.
