So how did you find out/get involved with Halo in the first place?
For me, I had seen a lot of info in websites and gaming mags, but it never got my attention because 1) it was a FPS and 2) it was only on Xbox, which I did not care to own. The only FPS I ever devoted any interest in was Goldeneye, and that was cause I liked how it interweaved with the movie's plot. So fast-forward to an issue of EGM dealing with the 50 Greatest Moments in Video Games, you know, stuff like when you found out Samus was really a chick, the first time a zombie dog jumped through a window in Resident Evil, whatever. Then I got to a bit on Halo. It talked about an enemy called The Flood, which sounded weird to me cause I had heard in passing that the enemy in the game was a group of aliens called the Covenant. So I read the blurb and I was intrigued at how the game's storyline has this interesting twist when they introduce a new enemy halfway through that behaves almost unlike any other enemy and I decided to check it. Sure enough, after a playthrough at a friend's house, I was hooked. The story totally rocked and I even bought the clear green Halo edition Xbox just for this game. Sure, I've picked up a few extra games since then, and I eventually got rid of my Gamecube and PS2, but Halo had just the right mix of story, graphics, and fun to keep me hooked.
