halo is probably the franchise that, in terms of overall impact, means the most to me. it was what truly kindled my love in games; halo 3 was the first game i had ever actually completed at the tender age of 9 years old back in 2009. and no matter how the series may have fallen in times most recent, i will always have a place in my heart for this series that means so much to me

this might be a ranked list of these games, and i might harbor negative feelings towards some. but even the lowest still have a place in my heart, as they remind me fondly of times long, long ago. but, there's still plenty of incredulous gaming to be found here too :)
