Halo 2

Impressive gameplay and graphics make this better than the XBOX version hands down.

User Rating: 9.5 | Halo 2 PC

I was a big fan of Halo:Combat Evolved. The PC version was among the top games I have ever played. So when Halo 2 came out for XBOX, I was anxiously awaiting the release of the PC version. Ages later, it finally does, with integration for XBOX Live masked under the Games for Windows Live name.
As the best-selling Xbox game, it had alot to live up to. It did. The killer combo of Keyboard and mouse provides the game with a new level of multiplayer experience. The maps are stellar, with several exclusives. There are maps for every preference:large, drawn out CTFs to small, quick Slayers. Maps are beautiful and fun to play on. The single player is only slightly better, albeit with better graphics.
It confuses me how low the scores are, but for me, this very simplistic game is among the most underrated of 2007 for the PC.
