I noticed no one made a thread about this so I figured I may as well.
Nine years ago Halo: Combat evolved was released and has since spawned several sequels and become a household name.

Quote from Wiki; (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved)

Halo: Combat Evolved (frequently referred to as simply Halo) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The first game of the Halo series, it was released on November 15, 2001 as a launch title for the Xbox gaming system,[1] and is considered the platform's "killer app".[8] With more than five million copies sold worldwide as of November 9, 2005,[9] Microsoft released versions of the game for Microsoft Windows (ported by Gearbox Software) and Mac OS X in 2003, and the surrounding storyline was adapted and elaborated into a series of novels and comic books. The game was later released as an Xbox Original for download onto an Xbox 360 HDD.

Halo's not done too bad for it self considering it was a launch title game, not too many of those can say their still around 9 years later with sequels and prequels.

It's really been 9 years since I've had a life? I wonder what has changed...

The piano solo at the end still gives me goose bumps. Damn, that's a fine theme song.

Happy birthday, Halo!

Surprised Bungie hasn't said anything. Or maybe I didn't see it.

Nah man, the best way to celebrate is to keep cutting support for Halo games (http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=31795).
