"My SPARTAN's are humanity's next step. Do not underestimate them. Do not underestimate him." - Dr. Catherine Halsey
Whilst developing a sci-fi real-time strategy game of the Apple Macintosh, developer Bungie were approached by Bill Gates of Microsoft with the proposition to develop their promising new title for their upcoming games console, Xbox. An offer they could not refuse, Bungie took up Gates' offer, and the strategy game soon transformed into a first-person shooter set on a mysterious ring shaped world, Halo. Halo: Combat Evolved went on to become so popular that it established the Xbox as a real competitor in the console market, and the franchise is still going strong today over twenty years later, now having expanded into other forms of media such as books, films, and TV series.
Collected here are my reviews for every Halo game (Anniversary edition reviews are included in original version reviews), as well as the films and series (including the Red vs. Blue web-series from Rooster Teeth Productions). They are listed in release order, and categorised into their separate media forms.

Red vs. Blue:
Whilst not officially part of any Halo canon, the Rooster Teeth webseries 'Red vs. Blue' has been instrumental in shaping the success of the videogames. A comedy primarily based around the inept Red and Blue armies of Blood Gulch, Red vs. Blue is one of the longest running web-series of all time, and is primarily made within the confines of Halo's multiplayer and custom maps suite.
