Halo:Combat Evolved Anniversary
When I came home and saw this game just sitting on my table, I was amazed. I remember my first time playing Halo and instantly my heart started to pound. That is how much this game means to me. Before I knew it, the game was just sitting in my Xbox, and I was playing Pillar of Autumn.
Coming out of the cryo tube was just the beginning of what is just a phenomenal campaign. Sure, if you aren't used to playing old FPS games, the game can get pretty frustrating, but come on, I was the one manning the sticks. Every twist and turn seemed nostalgiac, but also new at the same time
When I saw the graphics, I did not think they were bad at all. In fact, they had to be the best looking Halo graphics that I had ever seen. Let's be quite honest though; Halo games weren't designed to have the jaw dropping graphics factor (although, the visuals are sweet as ice cream on a hot summer day...mmmm.....). The graphics are NOT what you want to pay attention to. It's the amazing sandbox that Halo has to offer! This sandbox allows YOU to choose what you want to do. Sure, the game isn't quite open world, but you can mold your game differently every time, especially in Halo CE
In this being the 10th year of Halo, I hope the 20th is just as good. And who knows? If we are lucky, maybe there will be a 30th!

Final Score= 10/10

Halo Reach Anniversary Multiplayer
When I think of a good multiplayer game, I immediately think of Halo. Even 10 years ago when shooters and consoles were just coming together, the multiplayer was absolutely phenomenal.
Of course, the maps don't feel modern, but they aren't supposed to. They are supposed to feel nostalgiac, and that is what they are. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw this kid trash talk the multiplayer, saying that " The maps suck and I would rather play regular Reach". Then, I realized that this kid was probably some 9 year old who thought he was a bigshot.
The only negative thing that I would say is that the weapons aren't right. Sure, it's great that they brought back the pistol, but that is the only weapon. The AR isnt close to right, they didn't bother to make the DMR a BR, and the grenades.....they also just suck. There definitely needs to be an update in the future for that.
Final Score= 9/10
