Halo: Combat Evolved can be played on the Xbox, Xbox-360, PC, and now Mac. There is also a custom edition for the PC.
In the original Halo game you play the Master Chief who is a soldier with some really cool body armor and a nice selection of weapons. Humans have multiple enemies in this game. The Covenant is a group of aliens who are committed to destroying earth and they chase your ship to a giant ring (Halo) that orbits a faraway planet. During the story line you find out that there are multiple Halos in the galaxy that were built by an ancient, extinct race. Halos'' purpose is to eliminate all life in the galaxy as a last resort for controlling the Flood. The Covenant believes that if all the Halo rings are activated then they will be sent on the "Great Journey" that given salvation. The Master Chief ends up battling the Covenant, the Flood, and Halo''s own defensive weapons in order to destroy Halo and save the universe from total destruction.
This is a first person shooting game and if you are not used to playing video games the controls take a little time to get used to, but eventually using the controller becomes second nature. There are various levels of play so you can go through the whole game several times and be challenged. You can play cooperatively with another player or play against four other players in various battlegrounds. The backgrounds and landscapes are very impressive and game will keep you completely entertained.
