RECOMMENDATION INFO

amazon asin * B00005RHR9
Set on an Orbital and featuring a host of Banksian ingredients from neural laces and fundamentalist aliens to duplicitous drones, this sophisticated first-person shooter on the X-Box allows you to explore the genuinely intriguing single-player storyline, or deploy weapons of mass destruction in deathmatches against up to 16 of your so-called friends. I personally tend not to like first-person shooters but Halo has converted me!
