MB Video Game Classics: Halo Reach
 

While I can't say that I enjoy all the Halo games in the series, I will say that I got a lot of enjoyment out of Halo Reach. Maybe one or two things I didn't like about this game, but they really did a good job with the story and setting up what happens in the games. It's meant to be seen as a sort of prequel, and it's done quite well. I enjoyed my time with it anyway. Dunno if I'd consider it a classic, but it's still very good.

First Halo game i bothered playing all the way through. It was good enough that I decided to try out the remaining games in the series. I also liked ODST and 4.

I'm not hugely into any of them, but they can be fun if I'm in that corner. Same with Gears of War games. Only play them rarely, but I have completed most of them.

This one I still think had one of the most well told stories in a Halo game. I know I said that in the OP, but I just remember loving it so much. Definitely on par with storytelling like the first Black Ops.
