Interestingly enough, PC Magazine has reviewed the Xbox version of Halo, though it is an extremely short article:

Byron Hinson at ActiveXbox has posted a Halo review, and he gives the game a 95% rating:

The Armchair Empire has given Halo a rating of 9 out of 10, lauding it especially for the graphics, while griping a bit about a few framerate issues:

Halo is listed as a choice on VoodooExtreme's Game of the Year poll. In fact.. it's far and away in the lead, with a whopping 46% of the vote, trouncing the next nearest competitors, GTA3 (14%), MGS2 (11%) and Smash Bros. Melee (5%).

Thanks to Louis Wu at HBO who posted it after a heads-up from Mhaddy of The Junkyard.

IGN Xbox has made available a Halo PDF guide for its Insiders. No word on whether it's simply the Halo walkthrough at IGN Guides available in PDF format or if it's something entirely different. We won't know until an Insider gives us the scoop.

Remember Halo's review in the Official Xbox Magazine that we reported about a while ago? In case you missed it, HBO has added the scans of the review to its site.

Kudos to Louis Wu of HBO for scanning the Halo review from the November 2001 issue of Game Informer. They called it the Xbox essential and gave it a 9.5 out of 10 rating. The bottom line? [Halo is] one of the most impressive, if not THE most impressive, first-person shooter consoles have ever seen.

Another Halo review has seen the light of day, this time at 123 Xbox. Halo got near-perfect scores in every category; in fact, its lowest score was 9.7 out of 10 in the life cycle rubric. Overall, Halo scored 9.8 out of 10. (Thanks HBO)
