Halo is awesome because of the multiplayer. The single player seemed pretty standard when I tried it. Granted, I didn't play a ton of it, but it didn't strike me as being anything better than any other top-tier FPS. I don't expect much more from Halo 2. A graphical improvement, a few minor gameplay tweaks and maybe an extra mode or two. Definitely worth the purchase if you own an XBox, but I wouldn't consider it anything to soil yourself over.
MP2 and RE4, on the other hand, are going to be phenomenal. MP2 will blow the first MP game away and RE4 will possibly be the game of the year. You can't beat the gameplay engine for RE4. Nearly everything in the game is interactive.
If you're running from a pack of enemies, climb up a ladder onto a second-story balcony. Then, you can kick the ladder down to prevent them from chasing you. You can then kick in the window, enter the house, runsh downstairs and push eveything in the house in front of the door to block your pursuers' path. They figure out what you're doing and whip a chainsaw out and cut through your blockade. So, you rush back upstairs, fly back out the window drop a molotov cocktail into the house and burn it to the ground. These are not things that you are required to do. You can do them if you want, or avoid them entirely. RE4 will have the most detailed gameplay engine in video game history, and because of that, it will possibly be the best game that comes out this year. Obviously, Nintendo thinks so, because they're undermining the release of MP2 by a full week in order to release RE4 the day after Thanksgiving.

exactly what raziel said. i have not been actually interested in the resident evil series until i heard about what this game was going to be like. granted, i've played all of them one time or another, a game that constantly tries to scare you, fuck with your head, and keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense because of that zombie 3 feet away and you taking 4 hours to reload your 9mm pistol does not usually strike me a fun game. now, i have given up my worries about the series, and i am totally going to get into this game. there is no doubt in my mind that this will be the turning point for the gamecube. and all of you ps2 people will all be crying because the best game ever is a gamecube exclusive. "geared towards a younger audience" you say? somewhat, but at least we get the best quality games possible.
