User blog comment:Samdoo/How did you get into Halo?/@comment-1044705-20130909173546

It was 10 years ago for me too, actually! I was 9 years old, and my friend (who I can tell you was most definitely not 17) told me he got an Xbox and a game called Halo that he really liked and wanted me to try. I had never heard of an Xbox at that point, since it wasn't as popular as the PlayStation at the time, but I was definitely interested. I think that was when I first discovered my love for first-person shooters. Not long after, the e3 2003 trailer for Halo 2 was announced, and we were both really hyped for it. It was probably one of the best game sequels I've ever played to date, and by that point I was sold.
