As a young adult who has a lot of childhood memories tied to the Halo series, I can't help but be nostalgic for the games, even as I hardly think about them nowadays, but regardless of that, it's impossible for me to ignore how much of an impact they had on my young, malleable mind growing up. I didn't see the games as a route to some cathartic violence, for me, they were a route to the majesty of our universe, and the incredible world that exists in all of our minds. They played a huge part in my development as a social presence, and as an isolated thinker, and while I'm sure I'd be much as I am today without the series, they completely colored so much of my early "philosophy", and were responsible for my transformation from a child, to a true person.

While you obviously shouldn't let the games do the parenting, you shouldn't disregard the series as mindless violence, rotting your kids brain away either. The series truly is life changing in all of the right ways to a young, malleable mind.
