This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro information, I’m (one way or the other) celebrating the twenty third birthday of the OG Xbox, a console that blew my thoughts at launch (though I used to be fortunately married to a PS2). This was the chunky car that introduced Microsoft into the console gaming world. And whereas it did not have the prettiest design or the best library of video games, it gave us two necessary contributions to gaming: Halo and Xbox Live.
While some N64 fanatics could argue that GoldenEye paved the way in which for high quality console first-person shooters, it was Halo that revolutionised the style. Almost each FPS that got here after Halo utilised its management scheme and a modified model of its well being system. But the place Halo really succeeded was in offering console players with the first-of-its-kind 16-player LAN battles. This was the primary shooter that made my PC gaming mates jealous, and I nonetheless personal and adore my Limited Edition Crystal Xbox. Even although ants as soon as tried to take it over and switch it into a really costly vivarium.
