Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary

Unscored

Halo deserves all the acclaim it gets, even today. It’s hard to explain exactly why it’s so revered, but I just tend to think of it like this: no other FPS had me glued to it not just for the first time through, but the fifth. I don’t think everything about the remake is perfect, but there’s enough in it to warrant a second purchase for even the most hardened fans – the first time you hear the gun on the Warthog spin up, the first shotgun blast, the first time you take down a Hunter – gaming nirvana.
