Let the video games begin

As video games grow more polpular thanks to the many new devices, I have researched a couple games that are worthy of any player’s collection.

Halo 2

The Master chief is back in the sequel to his first game, Halo. In this bigger, badder version of the first game, the second is, as head of Bungie Studios said,"Halo 2 is a lot like Halo 1, only it's Halo 1 on fire, going 130 miles per hour being chased by helicopters and ninjas that are on fire as well."

Halo 2 expands the already powerful arsenal of weapons with a new blend of weapons, many pried from the hostile force’s hands. There are also many more drivable vehicles used to discover the many new vast landscapes provided by a new graphics engine so you can get every drop of adventure out of the Xbox console.
In addition to the single-player action, Halo 2 again makes use of the multiplayer split-screen system-link feature and adds Xbox live feature to the picture. The Halo 2 online multiplayer experience will feature squad-oriented team-play, real-time voice chat, and extensive community support. The game ships out at the end of this year.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

The fellowship is back in the next adventure of the trilogy, The Two Towers. In The Two Towers, you battle the forces of Mordor and continue your adventure through the epic story of Middle-Earth by battling your way against Orcs and other creatures in fully interactive environments.

In the second addition of the game your selection of characters are Aragon, Legolas, or Gimli. In order to succeed in your quest you have to balance each character’s moves, skills, and weaponry.

The Two Towers also includes exclusive movie content including scenes from The Two Towers, interviews, and music from the Academy Award-Winning sound track from The Fellowship of the Ring.
