27. Having lived through Atari, Intellivision, and the various Nintendos, I had seen some gaming. Got the Xbox because my wife was working for Microsoft at the time...expected nothing, and received the world. It was nothing short of a revolution in every sense. Xbox simply decimated everything before it, and Halo was like a blueprint for the perfect game. Was pretty much done with gaming at that point, but CE changed all of that.
