In preparation for Halo Infinite, I played through the previous Halo games to see where they succeed — and fail.

The popular first-person shooter series is built atop some surprisingly deep and complex lore. Let’s break it down.

Bungie’s original first-person shooter trilogy set the stage for the Master Chief’s epic saga.

A live-action take on an anime classic, a new martial arts/sci-fi series, and one of the biggest video games gets a TV series.

Also: Living in a hologram, Halo’s storytelling shortcomings, Sanjay’s Super Team, and Star Wars economics.

Halo is a phenomena of epic proportions that moves beyond mere video games.

It seems odd to take a nearly iconic figure like the Master Chief, and do anything that might diminish him.
