HALO - Jumping into the franchise as a total n00b [View all]
I know, I know, we're already up to Halo 4 at this point, but I just got an Xbox 360 for Christmas, and I have heard nothing but praise for the Bungie/343 series, so I figured I'd start with the "Anniversary Edition" of Halo: Combat Evolved.
Not looking for spoilers (or trying to share any), but so far this game has blow my mind. Gorgeous sunsets over rippling waves on a sandy beach. Hordes of spastic "grunts" trying to kill you, and usually doing a bad job of it. Afterglow of a vanished civilization. Ominous murmurings of a "flood." This is an FPS? It plays more like a science fiction novel with a tip of the hat to Larry Niven.
Yes, I am hooked. Your thoughts?
