Half-Life 2

Also known as: Half-Life II

One of PC's biggest hitters splatters headcrab guts all over the Xbox

There's no multiplayer to be found anywhere; it was an add-on afterthought with the PC version to begin with, so no big surprise there. It's unusual for a first-person shooter to be single-player only. But then again, this is one of those genre-defining, once in a console generation first-person shooters, so it's a worthy sacrifice. All tallied, Half-Life 2 is a must-buy, and our strongest choice for that one, last Xbox game you should pick up before switching over to Xbox 360.
