Halo 3

The campaign, which is very good, is Halo 3's weakest point. It doesn't capture the cavalier spirit of the original Halo, but you'll still have fun playing through it. There's no first-person shooter on 360 that can equal Halo 3's blend of cinematic action, adrenaline-pumping shootouts, and male- (and female)-bonding gameplay. Look beyond the gameplay and you have a rich feature set unlike anything ever delivered in a videogame. The Forge and the replay functionality raise the bar for console shooters so high, it may never be surpassed this generation. There will be plenty of aspects for fans to nitpick, but it's hard to argue against Halo 3 as the most complete game available on any console.

No one should underestimate just how important the original Halo was to the console first person shooter genre. Yes, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on the N64 laid the groundwork and proved that an FPS game was possible using a controller rather than a keyboard and mouse, but Halo didn’t just take things to the next level, it completely rewrote the rule book.
