1st one blew me away. The difference between ps1 and the next gen was astounding at the time (I too was around 12 at the time). I also liked the 4 factions all fighting each other thing (Humans, flood, covenant, sentinels), that takes some doing.
2nd and 3rd were ok, the retconning of the civil war was annoying though, what the hell ever happened with that.
The most recent one by the new company, halo 4, was terrible, even without the flood.
And yes Insanity, half of what made halo good was the music. 'On a Pale Horse' is awesome-sauce.
Never got into crisis (damn autocorrect), very meh for me.
Bungie did a good enough job that I'm more than willing to shell out for their next offering, Destiny. That it features the voice of Tyrion Lanister also helps.
And what's all this bollocks about them not being worth $60?
One, in Australia we're paying at least $90, even when we're at parity. Two, it depends on how long you're going to play the game. They often end up being much better value than movies.
3. Use the power of the pirate bay.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
