the X-box versions of Halo and Halo 2 are typically among the top 50 games of all time for all platforms (9.6/10 and 9.5/10 average critic score). So yes they are very, very good games. Now of course the PC versions didn't stack up to the competition when they were released but that's simply because the games were already 2 years old by the time they made it to PC. You don't get 4 million pre-orders in NOrth America for the third game of a trilogy without the games being exceptional. May not be everybody's cup of tea but they are universally thought of as being among the bst games ever made.

The main things halo did was 1) bring a competent FPS to a console where the controls were not lacking at all and 2) revolutionalize online play for FPS.

I really think the whole mouse and key advantage is over hyped now that consoles have dual analog sticks.
