10 years of XBOX

Yesterday was the 10th Anniversary of the XBOX release.
I...did not observe

Looking back at 10 years of XBOX there sure is alot of good and alot of WTF.

Otogi, JSRF, the first online versions for SF II and 3rd strike in the West.
Halo which to this day I STILL think is the most immersive FPS ever made.
The Kinect which is way better than the Wii.

The WTF naming the 360 the 360, Not releasing Metal wolf Chaos in the US
The Recall of Kakuto Chojin (VERY Underrated fighter) The stigma of the RROD which even a year or so after it's solved still haunts the 360.

I also have EVERY issue of OXM 10 years of XBOX demos so more than any other systems I have the entire history of the console line at my command and on top of that I got the XBOX about a month after launch and still have my Manufacture date Dec 12th 2001 XBOX hooked up right now.

Any one else have some XBOX memories to share good or bad?

10 Years on I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck is good about Halo.

Having been a FPS addict in the 90's on PC, I failed to see its appeal and still do.

Halo 2 is easily one of the best multiplayer games ever. Get some friends over and play multiplayer and you'll find out :thumbsup:

Already done. I've played them all, multiplayer, front, backwards, upside down.

Whatever. Still don't see the "revolutionary" element.

Anyway back OT, I thought it had been longer than 10 years for the xbox but I remember when it came out. It was a pretty alluring machine on release its just sad it never got pushed to its limits.

Halo 2 is still one of best online games I've played and got into. Literally used to come home from school play Halo 2 online then repeat again aha. Miss playing that game. If they remade Halo 2 similar to what they have done with Halo 1 but kept everything the same mulitplayer wise I'd be sold to get Xbox Live.

To really understand Halo you need to look at Goldeneye and Perfect Dark They were the beginings of Console FPS' and they were decent but then 2-3 years later there's Halo. Halo showed that not only can you do an FPS on a console but that you can do it just as well with no Mouse and keyboard and possibly better. Halo is the goldstardard of the FPS even now EVERY FPS now tries to be Halo.
