This Day in Gaming 
In retro information, I am (by some means) celebrating the twenty third birthday of the OG Xbox, a console that blew my thoughts at launch (regardless that I used to be fortunately married to a PS2). This was the chunky automobile that introduced Microsoft into the console gaming world. And whereas it did not have the prettiest design or the best library of video games, it gave us two vital contributions to gaming: Halo and Xbox Reside.
Whereas some N64 lovers might argue that GoldenEye paved the method for high quality console first-person shooters, it was Halo that revolutionised the style. Virtually each FPS that got here after Halo utilised its management scheme and a modified model of its well being system. However the place Halo actually succeeded was in offering console players with the first-of-its-kind 16-player LAN battles. This was the first shooter that made my PC gaming mates jealous, and I nonetheless personal and adore my Limited Edition Crystal Xbox. Although ants as soon as tried to take it over and flip it into a really costly vivarium.
