Sep 14, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The best way to determine who is a devout Xbox game player is to see if he plays Halo. This has proved to be one of the most popular games ever developed for its gaming console Xbox 360 and the different versions of Halo have sold in record numbers all over the world. The release of Halo Reach the latest incarnation in the series created mass euphoria among the fans and as expected a lot of avid Xbox gamers assembled outside stores to attend the midnight launch of the title and also to grab their copies before others! The latest title in the series developed by Bungie is the 4th incarnation. Its predecessor Halo 3 broke many records after its release and it is still considered one of the most popular console games worldwide.
Microsoft owes a lot to the Halo franchisee for the popularity enjoyed by its Xbox console and the first version of Halo was responsible for the popularity of Xbox to an extent. The storyline of Halo Reach is not drastically different from the earlier games. Stephen McGill the entertainment director of Microsoft has said about the latest game that it is the company’s biggest release in the Halo franchisee.
Microsoft has warned that any player found playing the game with an illegal and unlicensed copy would be penalized severely. Halo now faces stiff competition from two series of console games namely Call of Duty and Medal of Honor. The latest Halo game will be sold for approximately 59.99 in the UK. It can also be bought online and the online game selling sites are engaged in price war.
