Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

After being disappointed in not even getting Cyberpunk 2077 to grace my computer screen, and getting a refund from STEAM afterwards, I was looking for something to fill a gaming void. I spied Halo: The Master Chief Collection for a mere 29.99 Canadian. I was always curious about Halo, and not having a console at the time, was not able to play it. I guess they did import a few Halo titles to PC but for some unknown reason, always assumed it was mainly for consoles with those finicky joypads. I figured I would take a chance with the refund money, and what a stellar game this is. I just finished the prequel called Hallo Reach, and am currently starting the first title that came out back in 2001 called Halo Combat Evolved. The campaign is really really good. I wasn't prepared to like this as much as I am. I guess I shouldn't be all that shocked seeing that Halo made a big splash when it first came out. Anyways, I can heartily recommend the Master Chief Collection at any price, but for 30 dollars, it is a no brainer if you like first person shooters.

Included with the collection are the following titles:

1. Halo Reach.
2. Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary.
3. Halo 2 Anniversary.
4. Halo 3.
5. Halo 3 ODST.
6. Halo 4.

I like how you can install the games you want as well as the campaign mode or multiplayer for each title as far as I can see. Halo 4 just came out this year. I am curious to see the differences in each title as time progresses.

so unlike Cyberpunk 2077, I can easily recommend Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Just finished Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary campaign. I didn't like it as much as the prequel that was made later. I found too much backtracking on the maps for me to fully enjoy the title. I really hated having to go back to where I had been. It was a bit of a drag. On the plus side, they upgraded the graphics nicely on the anniversary edition from the original.

Now onto the third title.

Halo 2 Anniversary is a gem of a game. It has more than made up for what I found lacking in Halo 1.

Double wielding weapons in H2 was awesome. I downloaded the Master Chief collection on the Xbox a couple weeks ago and have been replaying thru Combat evolved when I can. I've played 1-3, Halo Reach, and I think Halo wars. Fun times!

For a few seconds, I thought I saw "Master Chef" collection and was just getting ready to see a whole bunch of skillet, pan, pot or wok...Then I clicked in and see a bunch of 'Halo', and my Pentium Pro just went blue screen on me...as I was trying to recall which brand of cookware starts with "Halo".
