Master Chief in the Palm of Your Hand
I was wondering what was taking Microsoft so long from shoving the Halo brand down everyone's throat and in every medium possibly imagined. Sure we have Halo action figures and the upcoming Halo movie but where is the other pointless Halo crap? Where are the Halo Colorforms Playsets, the Halo Coloring Books, and the Halo Crunch Cereal? I mean if in this day and age we can have a Mr. Potato Head Darth Tater why can't we have a Master Chief Magic 8 Ball?
Well, at least we're one step closer as mobile phone game publisher In-Fusio has announced a three-year licensing deal with Microsoft to release new mobile phone "applications" based on Bungie's Halo first person shooter game. According to the press release the first Halo products will be available later this year and will include mobile games and other mobile products such as ringtones.
In-Fusio is no stranger to creating mobile phone "applications" based upon existing game licenses as they have created Age of Empires II, Zoo Tycoon 2, and Tomb Raider: Elixir of Life for mobile phones. I can only imagine how much fun a quick-paced FPS will be to play on my cell phone!
O_o
I bet they'll suck..

Posted by Yoyort at September 28, 2005 02:38 AMThis is becoming very, very sad... Microsoft just loves to suck everyone dry don't they? They just grab on to something a squeeze and squeeze.... Like computers today. We would probably be far ahead of where we are today in terms of power and innovation but Microsoft just blows a hole through anyone's head that try's to out-do them. Then they just bury the evidence and walk away.

I feel the above argument is flawed.
Sorry.
:(
Posted by PatMan33 at September 28, 2005 09:58 PMI disagree with that microsoft comment too, who exactly are you talking about that made this "awesome" other OS that is getting "murdered" by microsoft?
Anyway, Halo was revolutionary, and although portable games suck, we should be glad its just another game, and not a cereal or cartoon show.

Eat Chiefy O's! They are packed with so many vitamins, you'll be spitting bullets!
Posted by Vivec at October 6, 2005 03:11 PMHalo was good. I enjoyed beating my brother at his own game on multiplayer. But you're right Microsoft are big and evil. Bill Gates even used to work for Apple and he stole the windows design off them. Also Windows is just overlays, which means that they take the old software and add more on. So if you dig it all off there is still the old windows on your computer, unless you have an Apple.
