How do you top a battle between marines and an alien religious cult fighting to the death on a giant corona in outer space?
The next logical step is to take that battle to Earth, which is exactly what Microsoft has done with ¡°Halo 2,¡± certainly the best game yet for the Xbox and a genuine contender for best game of the year.
¡°Halo 2¡± continues the story of Master Chief, an uber-tough marine in futuristic combat armor who accomplishes missions that would cause entire armies to quail. You see much of the ¡°Halo 2¡± universe from within Master Chief¡¯s armor -- it is a first-person shooter -- running around battlefield Earth and shooting Covenant soldiers.
