The Xbox Video Game Platform

Without killer games, play systems would be redundant, a fact Microsoft took quite to heart when designing its sixth-generation video game console, the Xbox 360. Already updated several times since its launch in 2001, this gaming system can now be used for playing games at home as well as online. Action, sports, kids and other games can be bought, downloaded or rented.

If you ask what games are popular, the list will vary depending on which player was asked. Highly in demand are the following:

Halo 3

A third-person sci-fi action game, Halo is a not only a bestseller, but is also genre defining. A complete thrill ride from beginning to end, the Halo experience can perhaps be best described as an extended version of the siege scene from the science fiction and action thriller "Terminator 2." Without breaks between gameplay, action take place on land, in the sky, under the earth, indoors and outside. The entire planet is at your disposal. Halo fans are already at the edge of their seats waiting for Halo 4 to be released shortly.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

It is inevitable; with every Harry Potter movie another video game is released. Not much different from the Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince isn't a colossal jump as far as presentation, graphics, sound or core game play goes, but it does come with a couple of entertaining mini games and a few hilarious set-pieces. Fans of all ages love the dueling, potions and Quidditch!

Doom 3

Console players who are afraid of things bumping into them in the middle of the night should not even consider getting familiar with the video game "Doom." Edge-of-the-seat terror, terrifying situations and intensive dungeon crawling action is not for the weak-hearted. With exquisite graphics, dynamic low and high-pitch sounds, and a control scheme that fits the handheld controller extremely well, this video game is recommended for all those who want a one-way ticket to hell. For your information, Doom 4 should be released shortly!

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

This action and platform game was made exclusively for the Xbox 360 and lets children build and use vehicles to transport Banjo and Kazooie as they are battling the evil witch Gruntilda. Their goal is to win the contest and take over Spiral Mountain. The players can also customize their own games and environments. It is a great game for children 10 and up.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Unless a true Star Wars fan, it is hard to visualize an epic drama that begins way before the time of the Galactic Civil War and taking part in a saga, which is set in the Golden Age of the Republic. How much more exciting can it get than to determine the outcome of this colossal galactic war, help settle the raging battle between the Jedi and the Sith Lords, and at the same time, seal your destiny as a Jedi?
