Halo

The first of this mega series came out in 2001 and was PHENOMENAL. From the opening movie I knew this game was gonna be amazing. This game was so unlike any game out at the time, the controls were smooth from the mechanics of guns to the amazing handeling of the warthogs. Halo was not only an action packed shoot-em up but the game also brought with it a very immersive story line about the history (or future) of Halo and all the characters found in this game. The game also provided moments of brief horror and paranoia. When your exploring the ruins and first run into some of your team devastated by the Flood and when the Flood firsts attacks I was generally scared for the well-being of humanity. This game is non-stop action until the end and leaves you begging for more. Fortunately for you there are 3 more installments waiting for you. The only thing that bothered me was that the aliens spoke fluent english. Beyond that small hiccup this game WAS amazing remember that it came out in 2001 and may not measure up to todays standards but still when the game came out Jerad would have given it a solid 9.75 out of 10!
