Have you ever had a feeling that someone is fallowing you? Like no matter where you go, it's always watching. I say 'it' becouse it's not a person that was stalking me, but a game. I will never forget the night I played Halo: Nightmare!
For this tale I must take you back about a month ago, and let me set the scene for you. It was a cold dark October night, infact it was the 16th if I remember correctly. I was on my way to pick-up my copy of Halo 4, I was running late that night and it was about half past midnight so I was in a hurry to get to Best Buy befor they close. I got lucky, becouse when I had arrived the store was so backed up that I had time to wander about the store, and browse there used game selectioin. As my eyes scrolled accrost the seemingly never ending line of used games they finaly fell upon a silver case donning the apperence of the Master Cheif as seen in the first Halo game. As you may have guessed this is the famous Halo: Combat Evolved, and by the looks of it, it was in a verry good condition, the case seemed like it had seen little use, and disk looked even better. When I looked at the case again i noticed that on the cover insert, the words "Combat Evolved" had been removed and insted written in its place in sharpie was the word "Nightmare." Even at first glance this single word made me feel uneasy. I glanced over at the pre-order line and noticed that it had gotten shorter, I hopped into line and recived my copy of Halo 4, and left the store. The night carried on as usial, I drove home, played Halo untill 3 a.m., and broke my only X-Box controller. Legendary is not for the short of temper. The next day I went to the grocery store, and on my way home stopped by my local Game Stop to pick up a new controller. When I entered the store I glanced at Game Stop's used games, as I passed I cought a glimps of that same silver case that I had seen the night before. When I studied the case closer I soon relised it was the exact same game "Halo: Nightmare." Feeling uneasy once again I rushed and grabed the first controller I saw when I walked up to the counter I asked the clerk about the Halo game. He said that he didn't know much about it exept that they had found it stuck under the trash can outside the store about a year ago. He went on to explain that when they had found the game there was a note, and written on the note was just one word "Nightmare." After the store owner had danced around the subject for about a week he then put it up for resale. Puting the thought of the game to the side I made my way home, but as I drove a thought crept into my mind "What if the game is modded, or a hack. It would be a whole new adventure for Cheif!" I didnt act on this thought, I continued to head home with the idea that I would sleep on it, and if I still had this thought I would go buy the game. So then a night came and passed, still the thought lingered in my mind...
