Lets see, it was a few months after X-mas, and I had gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. I went to Walmart with only enough money to buy one game for my new Xbox. Browsing around I saw Halo, I'm a FPS fan and it looked fairly interesting. I remembered one of my friends saying it was really good. I'll also have to admit that saying it was voted Game of the Year was also a push to get me to buy it (this was about a year after it came out). I bought it and I had to wait another week to play it because my Xbox was at my moms house (my primary residence), I was at my dad's house at the time.
When I got to my house, after reading the manual and the game box about a million times over waiting to play it, I finally was able to pop it in. I must say the opening sequence was enough to impress me, and then the awesome chanting in the main menu screen was awesome! I was very impressed with the graphics when I played the first level, but it was Halo (the second level) that really hooked me, the warthog specifically. And the rest is, as they say, history!
