-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.
For every system, there is one game. One title that stands tall among the rest. Enduring the harsh and competitive world of gaming. The Nintendo Entertainment system had Mario. Sega, had Sonic the Hedgehog. N64, The Legend of Zelda. Playstation, Crash Bandicoot. Playstation 2, well, it just had tons of games. And for the Xbox to Xbox 360, there was a game which defined first person shooters, multiplayer experiences and campaign modes. This game was ofcourse not just one game, but an epic trilogy, not unlike Lord of the Rings. Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2: Setting up for Halo 3, and Halo 3: Finish the fight.
For years now these games have enticed gamers with their wonderful glory. Halo: Combat Evolved had the greatest story mode of the Xbox. Rivaling even Duke Nukem in my heart. Halo 2 with it's multiplayer experience that still succeeds even now. And Halo 3, which jumped into the Xbox 360 world and established itself as a must have for any 360 owner.
None of this would have come to pass were it not for a small programming company and their first work. Halo: Combat Evolved. For how could they have ever imagined what they had started after the first day of work. Halo continues to sell and captivate everyone with it's story of a small boy, taken from his home at the age of six, breeded to a perfect soldier. And how he grew to save everyone.
An Alien Empire, a sentient parasidic species, and humans. Coming together to create the greatest first person shooter ever made.
Halo: Combat Evolved, we salute you. (21 Assault Rifle salute)
