Halo: Combat Evolved

In this legendary first-person shooter for the original Xbox, Master Chief takes on an armada of aliens with nothing but a metric ton of weaponry and a smarmy A.I. sidekick embedded in his head. This multi-kajillion seller is known for its great multiplayer and is widely accepted as the best console shooter at the time it was released. If you're looking to play online, you'll want to pick up Halo 2 or Halo 3 instead--the original Halo has no online component. Following Halo titles added new features (better graphics, online play), but for many Halo veterans, nothing will match the feel of the first game. Considered a modern classic in the first-person shooter genre thanks to its streamlined play style.
