Halo is King

Have you ever played a game that was so breathtaking that it represented a mental shift in imagination? This is what the Halo game represented to me, the moment I placed the disc into the Xbox. The story is one of the greatest in any first person shooting games to date. You play the character Master Chief and you are a soldier sworn to protect and uphold the rights of the citizens of planet Earth. There is an alien invasion that takes places against Earth and your planet's resources are at stake. You may use any weapons that you can find, even use alien technology to fight off the evil aliens. One of the coolest guns is the plasma needle gun. You fire purple glowing needles into the enemy, and they explode about two seconds after impact. One of the biggest moments in the game is the introduction of the Flood. The Flood is the second alien race whose sole purpose is to eradicate all life, human and alien. This is one of the greatest action games that I have ever played. There have been several sequels to the Halo game that has spawned record sales around the world. If you have not had a chance to experience this game, you should go to your local video game store and pick up a copy. After I played the Halo series, I was a lot more critical to other first person shooters, and used Halo as the standard in this genre. The only game that has come close to the Halo series is Unreal. Still, Halo is number one in my mind and is still the king of all shooting games.
