Halo Halo Halo. Story seemed good and long - a real bargain for the price in these days of $50 games.

But...Starcraft was just not my style. No rants, just not my style.

Halo = one.of.the.best.games.evar.

My vote goes to starcraft. I never really liked halo that much.

Halo is a fun game, but it's overrated. It was the only reason to get an X-Box, but now halo is for the PC (like it was suposed to be untill Bill Gates bought the fucking rights away so he could make it his own title for the launch of x-box. douche) Anways, starcraft is goign strong after all these years, so My vote goes to SC. And the battle chest is only 20 bucks. Pick it up.

Honestly there really is no comparision Starcraft and most blizzard titles are in a leage of there own. They have logivity that no game has ever really touched. Halo is a great game but not to be compared with Starcraft or Warcraft or any blizzard titles. My vote goes to Starcraft.

To me FPS are all the same. Its the one genre I really hate more than any other. I just can't stand those games, but they they seem to be the most popular genre on the PC. To me, FPS genre is like street fighter: theyre all basically the same game, but over the years, they refined the concept without adding any real innovations. Plus, its the only type of game that makes me dizzy. Weird because Ive been playing games since I was like 8 years old.

_the_wombat

Starcraft, hands down.
My Starcraft CD still gets use today.

Tholo

there should be an option for neither.

I've loved both at one point in my life before, though neither do much for me now. I went with Halo though because I can still have some fun with it, plus I look forward to Halo 2.

Side=note: legolas, did GameFAQs happen to inspire you to make this topic? :P

StarCraft!! Halo is fun but after I beat the game, I haven't touch it again. I still play starcraft online even though I got it 3 years ago.

SonicRL

Starcraft! I have been playing that game since 2000 and I play it's expansion as well. I also have entered the Gamefaqs contest, although I voted for Halo because I feel that they are going to win =\.

Starcraft definitely. I've been playing this game for like 3 years and am still not tired of it. It's the only game I play regularly

Also, not one for FPS games ... at all. They're fun at parties imo, but after like a couple of hours, it's too repetitive

Caphreak

these two games have almost nothing in common. youre comparing apples and hot dogs here. Theyre both good games, neither are spectacular.

Stare At The Sun

I gotta go with halo, it actually brings people together, and you can have more fun, and it doesnt get boring quite as fast.

Destrox

Halo = Over hyped p.o.s.

Starcraft = Game that wasted over 2 years of my life on Bnet, nuf said.

Other then that I dont really know how you could possibly compare these two games.

HALO... VERY overrated. Singleplayer gets boring once you beat it once. Starcraft has incredible replay value.

BuddyHawks

I dont think you can easily say one is better than the other since they are totaly different game, but i had more fun with starcraft, so i voted for it.

COMEONSTARCRAFT2!!!

The RTS games really haven't changed over the years either..........they all seem the same to me. I know they certainly haven't changed anymore than FPS games over the years.

I'm split on it myself, but I'm betting on StarCraft, even though I like Halo more.

You can't compare the two at all! One is a very old RTS game and the other is a pretty old FPS for console. Apples and oranges!!! Both are excellent games in their own seperate genres. Now Starcraft versus Warcraft would be a good one. That's the main reason I don't like what GameFAQ's is doing...one game against each other in a popularity contest. The part that bothers me is that people assume the winner is a better game instead of simply being more popular, even when GameFAQ's says "this is a popularity contest" on the front page.

Why not compare apples to orange juice the next time.

lol i knew a few people here would know why i made this. i just couldn't decide. and i picked halo for the same reason. even though starcraft is the better game (and i think this poll is showing it) people expect halo to win to they predict that then vote for it too. i am pretty sure halo will win which is unfortunate and it's almost a moral dilema.

if you read the other posts you could probably figure out this has something to do with a contest at gamefaqs

I'd say starcraft, I just played it today! And with worldedit, you can make your own maps and.... Well, I love that game.

Kaos

I'd definitely say Starcraft, but I haven't played Halo on the PC yet. I truly hate Console FPS and using a controller.

Stare At The Sun

I think halo nailed it though, I actually like it on XBOX moreso than on the PC. But, I may be biased, as it sounds way better w/ 5.1 and is usually on a bigger screen.

Lasereth

Halo has much, much better controls on the XBox controller. Some FPS work better on consoles and some work better on PC. Halo? It works way better on console.

Couldn't you have at least made the poll between Starcraft and Command and Conquer? Or Halo and Half-Life?

I think both games were awesome personally, but starcraft did have alot more replayability on single player than Halo.

Bob Biter

Starcraft is great for solo play, but nothing beats the multiplayer options in HALO. As someone said before, that game brings people together. Also, it spawns such things as "RedvsBlue". Case closed, as far as I'm concerned. However, I am aware that we're dealing with 2 different genres here.

These are two different types of games. Unfair to compare but i pick starcraft lol

StarCrack.
Still play it twice a week with friends.

nothingx

Hmm.... which is a tastier fruit, apples or oranges?

Finchie

Starcraft. That game wasted 2 years of my life.

hawkeye

I can't vote for either one over the other.
They are so different, that I can't even look at them on the same level.
Halo is one of my fav. FPS, and Starcraft is one of my fav RTS.
I like both of them, for Completely different reasons.

Halo is only a good console game. For a PC FPS, it was just ok. Starcraft isn't even in the same genre but as far as overall fun, i'd vote for Starcraft.

m0rpheus

Starcraft.
I can count how many hours I spent playing Halo, about 10 or so. I liked it but I wasnt hooked.

Starcraft, however still hooks me back to BNet every now and then even now...
