They are releasing the games in chronological order, based on when they happen in the Halo Universe timeline.

I wasn’t sure how I would like to download each game separately as the Halo games released, as I was most looking forward to Halo 3, but of course that’s one of the last ones to be released; however, when I jumped into Reach and noticed it native-supported 5760 x 1080, I was quite happy.

I remember when I asked my parents for a PS1 for Christmas, and it was the first console that I wanted after my brother had left for the Navy (always had to share the Sega with him before that). They had wrapped everything up and our family tradition was to allow me to open one gift the day before Christmas. I had

Konami code, nice touch Amazon.

For me, I loved BFME1, it is certainly different than #2, which I found refreshing, it’s less base buildy, and more resource/battle management, which I think worked. There are bases, but they are prebuilt. Plus it’s one of the few RTS’s where soldiers actually go onto the walls and attack downward. I also loved AOE3,

PokeWow.

Though replacing windows can be a pain and expensive, as a former firefighter this is a terrible idea. The windows are a necessary point of entry into a vehicle in an accident, in a flooding, etc. for first responders. I have zero doubt this design will change dramatically as it gets closer to release, but lord I hope

I mean I would rent out the room for a year for $365 and start my own game show in the room, make them lots of money, increase my reputation (which is none), and then become a movie star. All for $365 and voyeurism. I’m thinking Lings Auto Sales artistically (if you bravely venture the link, be sure to click on Live

Possibly Battle for Middle Earth I & II, and AOE3, because a lot of my family still slugs about in those games.

So I’ve revisited older RTSs that I’ve only found again. Paraworld, Age of Mythology, and likely Dawn of War will be entered into the rotation.

Age of Empires II Definitive Edition, Starcraft 2, and likely a few other PC RTS games with some buddies. I might try to pick up Pokemon Shield again; however, I’ve been preoccupied with PC.

Sword... just because my name is Zach, and it’s called Zacian. It’s a no brainer. Plus it’s a dog with a sword in its mouth. Also, Sirfetch’d. It’s a classier game.

Great story and love things like this. Now I just want a copy of Starcraft Ghost and Firefly Online, both of which I’m sure are lingering about, out there. Heck I still have my Gamestop pre-paid receipt for Starcraft Ghost lol.

Man the Dreamcast is an amazing console. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see if Sega was in the console wars currently? PS5, Xbox Scorpio, Switch, and Sega Something. That’s a cool thought.

I also enjoyed these. I’m mostly off pop these days since it found a way to wreck my body; however, once in awhile I’ll indulge and then be set back by the sweetness from not having it in so long. However, I agree, it was much more mellow than I expected.

Played this last night after a long day of anticipation at work and I will say I am not disappointed. It is weird that I feel AOE I Definitive Edition has better graphics than this one, it might not be true, but overall it’s a great game. I had to turn the Bloom Effect nearly off though, all of my villagers look like

That’s the boat I am in too. After high-school and I moved away for a bit, but my father sold our childhood home with everything in it (he had good reasons). So I’ve been rattling my brain what to collect that actually means something to me, that also won’t make me go broke. PC Games seem to be the answer. Also love

Just think of it as you crowd-funded an RTS’s comeback; and still got to keep the game (I’m also in that boat; however, I have an unnecessary love for Ensemble/Microsoft Games).

Absolutely agree. I’ve always thought about collecting something, and I wasn’t sure what. So I decided to collect as many PC games as I could from my past this year, with packaging, inserts, etc. I realized though I had most systems when I was younger, PC was one of the ones that I had from start to current. Plus

In honor of this fantastic release, I found a sealed copy of AOEII from release, perfect addition to my big box collection.
