This was included in the Master Chief Collection, which was released in November, 2014 for Xbox One.

Developed by 343 Industries and Saber Interactive and published by Microsoft Game Studios, the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition was released for Xbox 360 in November, 2011 and is an HD remaster of the original game. For this review, I played the Anniversary Edition from the Master Chief Collection. Developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Combat Evolved was released for the Xbox in November, 2001 and PC in September, 2003. Well I finally got the urge to jump back in and decided to replay the first game. Several years ago I was playing the games nonstop to the point I just got tired of the entire franchise. As of this review, I’ve beaten every main game in the series except Halo 5 and that’s because I burnt myself out on the series. Funnily enough, I beat the trilogy in reverse order. I didn’t actually beat the game until well after Halo 3 came out.

At the time, I only got so far but never did beat it. I did acquire the PC version later down the line, I think after Halo 2 came out, and eventually the Xbox version several years later. Halo was a launch title for the Xbox and I can remember everybody on the school bus was talking about it. I never owned an Xbox when it was in it’s prime so I missed out. I was twelve when the original game came out and it always appealed to me because I love science fiction, I love aliens, I love shooting shit, and Halo had all those things so it just looked really awesome to me. The Halo series and I have somewhat of a long history.
