I bought Halo2 formy son...he's glued to it..I'm not much of a console type, but the game plays pretty well and the cinematics are incredible..If/when Halo2 goes PC, I would pick it up..
I'm out folks..thanks for the input....see everyone later...
I'm like the rain on your parade tonight... I'm sorry about all this. =/
Halo 2 is XBox exclusive. Unlike Halo 1, where Bungie promised a PC port one way or the other, Halo 2 isn't being ported. Really, Halo's PC port played just like the Xbox game, down to the response of the controls, so there isn't really a reason to hold out hope for a PC port, IMO.
If you've got an Xbox, though, I recommend Ninja Gaiden. It's not appropriate for your son, unless you unlock the NES versions hidden in the game (Ninja Gaiden II--best action game ever.) Very hard, very well-put-together. Might change your mind about consoles. And if not, well, at least you'll have 20 hours of fun.
