Halo: Combat Evolved
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Nov 15, 2001
One of the launch titles of the original Xbox, Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi first-person shooter telling the tale of an advanced cybernetic super-soldier known as the "Master Chief".
E3 2011: Halo Anniversary
Finally, the generic shooter that consisted of "Travel through valley, shoot aliens, travel through corridor, shoot aliens, travel through valley, shoot aliens, travel through corridor, shoot aliens" can be re-lived by millions more. Isn't 5 games like this enough? I just hope to god that Halo 4 introduces SOMETHING new.

And 6 years for Twin Snakes, aka MGS1. I don't think games should be held by the same rules as movies when it comes to remakes since it's a younger genre.
At least they just ran a trailer at the press conference instead of trying to take out time to pretend it's a big deal.
I might play it, I might not. I think the original Halo is underrated by a lot of people, but equally overrated by others. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
To be fair, Halo introduced dual-analog FPS controls and popularized regenerative health, but that's not enough to make the remake worth playing. Hopefully when they say "remastered" campaign, they mean "improved" and not just "shinier," but I won't hold my breath.

not having the Halo 1 multi-player is a personal insult to me, and my family.
yeah, i don't see the point of this package if it doesn't include CE multiplayer.
To be fair even a high definition makeover will not save this game from its boring bits. You're still going to have to backtrack over previous levels as before.

This shovelware will fail.
Perhaps you should check the definition of "shovelware" and "fail".
This is a huge game that MS likely invested a great deal of money and time into and will almost certainly sell millions. Like it or not, Halo is a classic game. I don't remember hearing complaints about the MGS or Silent Hill HD collections.
I don't suppose they shortened The Library. And hey, it'd be totally cool to do that while you're tinkering around with the old girl. I might just dig that disk out again, still love the original campaign.
Can't say I'm a fan o the helmet redesign but I'm intrigued by everything else. One of the funnest games back in the day for co-op.
I'm between two minds. One one hand, I hopped onto the Xbox bandwagon a little late, so Reach is the only Halo game I ever bought. I may end up getting this, since I never played much of the original's campaign. On the other hand, it does seem a little pointless to remake such a young game.
I loved Halo back in its heyday. My friends and I would play some Halo 2 multiplayer religiously on the weekends. Unfortunately I have to say that this honestly seems like a money grab to me. :(
