Perhaps the one most important thing that any video game system can have is an exclusive piece of software that is so enjoyable that it sells the system on its own. For Microsoft's XBox, its very first system, that title is the Bungie-developed blast-em-up HALO: Combat Evolved. Unfortunately, for a very long while that seemed to be its only truly desirable exclusive, as any other title it had was either available elsewhere in a superior format or not worth gamers' time. Some more recent titles have helped the XBox reach decent sales figures, including the record-shattering HALO 2. Select games also feature the ability to use custom soundtracks stored on the XBox's built-in hard drive, a fabulous bonus for players who prefer to rock to their own beat rather than what the game provides.
