Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind
Overall: this game is a great game but it is not too much of my taste. the bad fighting system to this game is probably the thing that caused me to dislike the game. the idea of the game is awesome though, you basically open-endedly travel and live a life that you want but can't get in real life.Gameplay: it's good. i like the quests because they are a challenge(some of them) but the 2 things that i didn't like about this game is that the fighting sucks(at the beginning you can't even beat up a grandma) and it's tooo addictive and sucks up your life, which i think a video game shouldn't do, that's crossing the line
Graphics: the graphics could be better texture wise. another factor is that you can't see far because there's mist everywhere you look and it causes you to get lost (which is so annoying!)the characters have horrid detail in them and the animation sucks.
Audio: the sound is actually pretty good (except when you fight)and it gets you in to the game easily. the bad thing is that when you talk to someone, there's no voiceover(let alone animation).
Suggestions: try to make fighting better, graphical textures more polished/rendered, better animation, more attraction to none-rpg-fans:)good game though

Halo: Combat Evolved
Overall: wow. just looking at the hyper real world beneath me as I soar with the covenant banshee is enough to make me happy. This game has it all. It has heart-pounding gameplay, great original soundtrack and eternal longevity if you want multi-player. You can use very innovative vehicles and weapons to be victorious over the aliens a.k.a. covenent. Every xbox-owner should own this game! Gameplay: The mixture of powerful guns, cool vehicles, and awesome AI makes Halo a game that will keep you on the couch for hours and hours. The multi-player has endless fun and the sytem link had some of the best gaming experience I ever had.
Graphics: The animations of the creatures in halo are great and the graphics are extremely rendered and very carefully polished. The textures of the grass, walls, vehicles, etc are great and you'll find yourself looking at the beatiful environment more than you actually play the game.
Audio: I found myself humming the Halo "theme song" in class and my mom says I do it in my sleep as well. Well, if you don't get my point, then let me explain...
The music in Halo is one of the first games that actually affects the gameplay. For example, when you're at a corner and you have the feeling there's a foe waiting for you, you'll hear it call for it's teammates, or hear it getting it's gun ready. This creates a very tense game experience, and intensity(to me), makes a game better.
Suggestions: I can't wait for HALO 2. I already pre-ordered it and I also got xbox live just for HALO 2.
