  2. PC Gamer One-Ups Halo 2 With Half-Life 2 Rating

Fri, 10/22/2004 - 00:43 by narcogen

On the heels of the announcement that Halo 2 has received a 9.7 from the Official Xbox Magazine, their highest ranking ever, comes word that PC Gamer has rated Half-Life 2 at 98%-- also that publication's respective highest ranking ever.

Of course, there's no real crossover here-- Halo 2 right now is only for the Xbox, and Half-Life 2 is only for the PC. But in the battle of blockbusters in digital entertainment this holiday season, these two giants are battling directly for attention, if not for customers.

PC Gamer can suck it, Half-life blew and Half-life 2 will blow an equal amount.
Halo 2 will unmercifully dominate Half-life 2 in sales.

Halo 2

I was so disappointed when I found out that Halo 2 wasn't going to be on the PC. I enjoyed Halo: Combat Evolved immensely. I am very disapointed in Microsoft as well. I'm sure that if Halo 2 was made for the PC as well as the Xbox, sales would be even higher.

Let's keep in mind, NOTHING has been said about Halo 2 PC at all. They haven't said they'll make it, and they haven't said they won't.

I'm guessing they won't, but that's purely speculation on my part.

well while thse 2 scores are

well while thse 2 scores are both the highest each magazine has given, the fact that both magazines are for different specialist formats (and OXM is going to be a bit more biased) then you can't really base anything on the resultant scores. Show me an all format console + PC mag score and then we'll see! Not that Halo 2 could possibly beat HL2 anyway... PCZone gave it 97% after lowering the final score because (in short) it was too good to find enough fault with it
