That time is almost u Halo: Combat Evolved: Anniversary Edition Launch Date Trailer Takes us Back to Where it All Began pon us, the time when we can go back to that original ring planet, the one that started it all. We’ll get to experience the covenant, the Halo system, 343 Guilty Spark and even the flood all over again; only this time in glorious HD along with a whole host of other features including co-op play, extra missions, extra modes, 3D support, Kinect support, and much more. All the festivities will be kicking off on the 15th November, 2011, the momentous 10th anniversary of the day we all were able to start playing the game that started it all; Halo: Combat Evolved. Lucky for us though, that News Editor Terry Lucy got to play it earlier, and according to his preview, he rather liked it!

“‘Halo: Anniversary’ is a token of gratitude to our fans for the incredible passion and dedication they’ve shown for the franchise over the past ten years,” said Dan Ayoub, executive producer of publishing at 343 Industries. “We’ve poured all our passion and energy into making ‘Halo: Anniversary’ a truly faithful remake of the original classic, and we can’t wait to join the fans online and commemorate ten years of historic gaming together on 15th November.”

Halo: Combat Evolved: Anniversary is set to launch on the 15th November, 2011 exclusively on the Xbox 360.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.

I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!

I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.

Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.

Oddly excited. I never really played the first Halo properly – now I have a chance
Love how you can “Monkey Island” it, and just press back to switch between new and old visuals!

Same here – I’ve tried playing the first Halo a few times with my girlfriend, but there’s something about it that doesn’t quite click with me. Might be worth me giving it another attempt at some point!
