Dont get me started......NOTHING, i repeat NOTHING beats goldeneye and perfect dark as coholders of teh "Best FPS award" Graphics dont mean shit to me, its gameplay and sotryline, and there is nothing that beats goldeneye or Perfect dark, ESPEICALLY not halo.
I like Halo better than both, although most people will proabably agree with you on goldeneye. Graphics mean a lot to me. Halo kicks ass at that. I just have more fun on Halo, even on single player, than I ever did with Perfect Dark or Goldeneye.
What better options out there? There is no other FPS that has even come close to the level of enjoyment that HALO provides. If you mean, just other games in general, of course there are others out there. But granted that HALO is like 3 years old and I'm still playing it, that shows a lot.
It all comes down to opinion though. You think one thing, I think another. HALO is unsurpassed in so many aspects for that gaming genre, that I don't think it could possibly be overrated.
