What the *bleep* did Halo 3 do? It sold lots of copies but like the original Halo games it didn't influence a thing. Gears of War sure as it brought to the front a gameplay element that had all but died out. But Halo 3, seriously not influencial seriously overhyped.

Its probably writted by a trainee journalist trying to appeal to a wider audience. I wouldn't worry!

So Halo 3 has had no influence on the success of the Xbox 360? Yeah right! Think about your comments before writing them.

I think the articles saying about how games have influenced OTHER GAMES, not console sales or the success of a particular console.

If anything MGS4 should be on there. Reason? Giving a damn about storyline. Halo 3 did nothing more than be Halo.

I personally, dont think Halo the game is nothing that great, but the match making system that has be brought in would be and I think that would be one of the points the writer is making.

Wiifit people. Wiifit, its a game that calls you fat.

Maybe Nintendo should be influential since they make games calling you fat and still make money.

its wiifit. It did what was already done on the ps2 years ago witht that yoga game.

Halo 3 Made it onto the list.
Clearly the author hasn't played Metal Gear Solid 4.

Because you didn't have to understand/conprehend the story in order to appreciate the sheer atmosphere of characters, characterisation itself; the atmosphere and set pieces within the story, and the crafty clever mix of old gameplay mechanics still holding strong against the new.

Motorbike scene anyone?
