It was an instant classic in my eyes because it was the first time I had ever played an online shooter.

At the time, I did not have an Xbox to play Halo on so I had to wait for the PC release which I bought immediately. From hearing about the buzz over the first Halo and having previously played Marathon (an earlier shooter by the people who made Halo (which is still one of my favorite games ever)) I knew that people thought Halo was a great competitive game. Since elementary school I usually favored games that were unique, had interesting mechanics, or had some aspect of adventure, though some of my favorites were competitive games.

However, my reaction to GTA V was, 'That's kind of neat, probably won't play it, I bet Saints Row IV will be better, but I won't play that either.' Maybe if I had $60 for every game that came out I would be more eager to play them, however 6 years ago I would have gone through many lengths for my fandom. Though I am not a huge fan of the GTA series and have approached the series with an amount of skepticism, GTA V looks kind of fun, like something my younger self might have been excited about. My excitement over the release of new games is probably caused by my exposure to a vast variety of video game and art criticism (appreciation of people like Anthony Burch, Jim Sterling, and Ben Croshow), an evolving taste, the rise of the independent market, the disappearance of Blockbusters (to allow me to rent any console game that came out), and my post-graduation financial situation. Feeling as though I am older, now in my early-approaching-mid-twenties, it is hard for me to say which games I am excited for right now. Talking about the long anticipated release of GTA V (and how it compares to Saints Row IV (something that I won't get into in this post)) reminds me of when I used to get really excited about games.
