In celebration of publishing their 100th issue, Official Xbox Magazine ranked the top 100 Xbox games of all time. Meaning that Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox Live Arcade games made this list.

Halo: Combat Evolved made #1 (not a surprise really)

Halo 2 ranked #5

Halo 3 ranked #22

And Halo Wars ranked #34.

That's quite an achievement.

Entire List posted in "The Flood."

No surprise to me there. Who knows how successful this console would have turned out to be if it weren't for Halo. It would have been an outrage to me if they didn't make it number one, personally.

No, you must be mistaken, you see, I'm correct and you're wrong. Simply put, if I'm arguing with you it's because you're so dumb I couldn't let you live another day without you realizing how retarded you really are... I wish I had a girlfriend =/

:D. I've always liked the original Halo and I do think it deserves that No.1 spot and I am glad it has.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

No arguments here.

Absolutely.
Was surprising how many games didn't seem to learn the lessons of Halo. Riddick was the first one that seemed to "get it," and that was pretty late in the cycle. In an FPS, 80% of the player's time is spent looking at the enemy. Even Gears didn't have non-combat animations or enemies with any personality. And that's just the tip of the old CE supremacy iceberg...

Is there an article on line? Or do I have to buy the magazine?

Ya it doesn't surprise me at all. Halo CE was the shiz and it will always be the shiz. Xbox wouldn't be this successful if it weren't for bungie. The only reason why i bought my xbox was because of halo.

Halo as 1st and KOTOR at 2nd would make OXM have the #1 Games List of all time. :)

  • 07.17.2009 2:52 AM PDT

Hammered!

Switch COD 4 with Kotor and the top 10 would be perfect...

Agreed. ~Cm

Combat Evolved legitimized the X-box. Without Halo, it would have quietly been relegated to the dustbin of history. Buying Bungie was probably the best thing Microsoft has ever done in the Console Wars.

Good point. If they didn't I wouldn't have ever been a gamer either :O ~Cm

Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Not a surprise, Halo: CE was a revolutionary game!

What?! No Blinx or Rallisport Challenge?!

Well, I'm glad that all the Splinter Cells are up there and that Chaos Theory beat Halo 2 (even though I love both games); I still spend hours playing the multiplayer of Chaos Theory. I was surprised MK:Armageddon outranked MK:Deception or even MK:Deadly Alliance considering it was a (gameplay-wise) inferior game. Yay for UC2:Liandri!
