7. Halo Reach
The Xboxs most famous and most popular exclusive series has been busy on the 360. Starting with the ending of the Master Chief trilogy, Bungie then seemed to lose focus of where they wanted the series to go. So they went right back to the start. As you initially explore Reach your character and his squad soon realise the sheer size of the threat that faces them. Unlike the trilogy, when the Allies were always pushing forward, this is a tale of survival and evacuation; the battle is lost before the game even begins. Out of any of the Halo games this has the best story by a country mile. As the missions progress your team slowly begins to dwindle some die in the midst of battle while some sacrifice themselves for the teams benefit. Your mission is to deliver Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn. At the end, as the last surviving member of the team, you sacrifice yourself so the vessel can escape with Cortana. The final battle is impossible to win. Outnumbered by the enemy, you are eventually slain. Some players even admitted shedding a tear. The Halo series has always been famous for its online content but in Reach the main story completely stole the show. Its an interesting story and it becomes very difficult to stop playing once you start. It was extremely tough to choose between Reach, Halo 3 and Halo 4 but purely because of the story I chose this entry in the series - maybe you disagree?
