The first time I saw Halo: Combat Evolved was a "remember where you were when...", moment for me. I was young, and the broader concept of video games as a medium and industry was hardly a blip on my radar. That said, something about the graphics (at the time), the instant immersion, local co-op, and the enemy AI, created the perfect storm, at the right time. Few forms of media invoked that degree of childhood imaginative stimulus as Halo.

Oddly enough, I haven't played a Halo in at least 10 years, and likely won't again. Funny how that works.
