Halo
I hadn’t touched Halo until yesterday. Yes and if your wondering, it been a long time since the game had come out but i felt the gap I was in, the experience I missed out on. The thrill when you sit and wait in the interim 5 days away from the launch of the sequel. But with no regrets, the game is till in circulation. I picked up one for 50 pence from a second hand store.
The point to be made is at that time, Halo was a creation made from base to up reaching infinity. The story made from thin air didn’t necessarily create havok in the games industry at the time (with the release of the usual supermarios and GTA 3 stealing the show) Halo was not fully recognized but it got enough attention. The sequel was not the kind that beats its predecessor but Halo 3 was the icing on the cake. It gave the new potential console purchaser to go for the Xbox 360 rather than the PS3. From there on, Halo ODST and Reach have been smash hits. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to afford another console (as I own a PS3) but surely I will get my hands on it later.
While new solitaire model games will still remain all time classics, Halo will be remembered for up lifting the new age spirits of shooters to a whole a different dimension. Taking the war to outer space got Halo the honor it now receives. It surely was a watershed moment of 2001.
