Halo Anniversary: You Can Go Home Again...
written by Uno Ill Nino in News
Halo Anniversary came out in November last year, and although I wanted it, I had limited funds and decided to place other games like Dark Souls higher on my list of priorities. My line of reasoning was that even though I'm a huge fan of all things Halo, I could put it off because it wasn't one of those games that all my other friends would be playing and talking about. (Ed.-I was right, by the way)
So here I am, about 2 months later and I am finally getting around to playing the remake of one of my favorite games of all-time. I say its one of my favorites of all-time without any hint of exaggeration or hyperbole. When the original Xbox was nearing launch in 2001, I wasn't really interested until I read EGM's review of Halo: Combat Evolved. I suddenly had to have that game. I talked with my father about it and we got an Xbox shortly afterward. I ended up buying the copy of Halo that day because I was so excited about it.
In the months that followed, I became an obsessive fan of Halo. I would discover a lot of tricks and exploits the game's campaign allowed, mostly on my own. My friends would soon learn that multiplayer was not fun with me, since I would dominate with the sniper rifle. This was my new favorite game, and I knew it like I had designed it myself.
