14. Halo: Combat Evolved

It was a cold November night in the year of 2001 when my buddy gave me a ring to come play video games with him. He said he got this new game he had been anticipating. And also, it was on his shiny, new next gen system! How could I pass up such an event? (Fast forward 15-20 mins) I got to his place, we hung out for a bit and then divulged into the game he was hyping. It wasn't even opened yet. So... we opened it? The system was already hooked up, everything was set and the game began... so, what was the game?

Mad. Dash. Racing... WTF!?! The game fucking sucked!

So my buddy went back to the store and picked up Halo: Combat Evolved... Good choice. It was f*cking awesome! I played it at a time when it wasn't really known so I had no idea about the Flood. When my friend and I got to the Library, we sort of had a freakout moment with, "WTF IS GOING ON!!!" Halo was so good that I actually bought an Xbox, the game (obviously), AND xbox live. Halo 1 also marked the last time I was interested in online FPS muliplayers (and the only time!)

I know you have haters Halo but I still love you!
