Halo: Combat Evolved has been slashed in half as this weeks deal on Xbox LIVE. The game is now going for 600 MS Points and is a must get for any Halo fan that doesn’t own the original game. Especially since I think it’s the best Halo game in the franchise.
So, why do I think
Halo: CE should be cheaper? Microsoft milked the hell out of the original game. After a game sells over 400,000 copies within the first nine months of release, a game is supposed to become a Platinum Hit and sell for $19.99.
Halo didn’t become a Platinum Hit until years after its release. In fact,
Halo 2 didn’t even become a Platinum Hit until just this past year, months after
Halo 3 came out.
600 MS Points ($7.50) should be the actual price instead of a one-week sale price. Oh well, there’s
always piracy I suppose.

Also, I agree with manasteel88. I'm not a Halo fan, but I loved multiplayer in the first one, the PC version especially.
Except for you know the godawful lag that required players to lead every shot by 15 feel.
Either way, $7.50 isn't that bad, but abit too rich for my blood.
Paroxysm: Afraid so.
Available in all regions. Just bought the German version. It's my first Halo. I figured I'd just start with the best.
Donkey Kong is 500 points on Nintendo's virtual console so it's about 5 bucks. Donkey Kong Classics wouldn't even be worth $5.
