What Halo 2 represents -- an integrated online experience, smooth, console-like mechanics and a hassle-free setup procedure -- is a great development for the PC's future as a gaming platform.

Plenty of eyebrows were raised last year when Microsoft made a surprising announcement: Halo 2 would land on the company's new PC operating system, Windows Vista. One year later, Halo 2 has finally shipped, following a last-minute delay. The good news? It's Halo 2. The bad news? It's Halo 2.

The long delay, outdated graphics, crazy system requirements and the clunky Games for Windows LIVE system are show-stopping obstacles to what should have been a great port of a great game more than a year ago.

Halo 2 is a lazy port of a less-than-perfect sequel to an FPS that was pretty good on a console and only average on a PC. Oh, how the hyped have fallen.
