Abstract: Editor's Note: Product not yet tested. Halo: Combat Evolved was the first great console-exclusive game to grace to the original Xbox, and Microsoft is celebrating its decade of excellent sequels and spin-offs with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. View...
New graphics, sound design, and new musical score are all fantastic additions; reworked maps are fun to explore; voiceactivated command and Kinectenabled galleries are a nice plus, if not essentially useful or memorable. Having the Halo: Reach engine's perks in multiplayer really beefs up the replay value in the Anniversary maps.
Retaining the old source code from the first Halo means no improvements or additions to the core combat; minor bugs and glitches; swapping up the graphics feels a bit laggy. Firefight is a bit of a disappointment.
Abstract: So, that's why I'm excited that 343 Studios gave the game an HD upgrade, along with new features, for the game's 10th Anniversary. A whole other generation of gamers are going to be able to experience the Master Chief we got to—and we get to relive it...

A great amount of love and care went into creating Halo Anniversary, and the new graphics engine, while not perfect, is an excellent addition to bring Halo players who missed out on the original ten years ago up to speed. Halo Anniversary’s campaign sh...
Abstract: Halo Review1 2 I think it's important to tell you a story about Crewman #1. He might only have one line in the entire of Halo: Combat Evolved - "Behind us! They're right behind us!" - yet our humble and understandingly petrified Crewman #1 is the perfe...
Abstract: It was ten years ago that Halo: Combat Evolved was released on the original Xbox. The series would go on to create a standard for the first-person shooter genre and arguably help secure the Xbox as a household name. First-person shooters have evolved...
Abstract: It's not often that a console gets a launch title that can easily stand the test of time, long after the demise of that console. I can think of only a few exceptions, most of which fall into Nintendo's camp of early releases. But it would be impossible...
