Halo fans get ready! This week I attended the launch party with Verizon Wireless for the “Halo: Spartan Assault video game now available on Windows Phone 8 smartphone and Windows 8 systems including PC's and Tablets.

Note: I was invited as media to this event. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

During the event, I had one on one time playing the game on a Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone. The game graphics and scenery was clear, colorful and amazing.


Playing the mobile game was surprising easy, even though I had to use two thumbs to activate the game and then move and shoot. Well, really I only needed one thumb to move and the other to shoot but you get my meaning.



While I gamed on the mobile, others played “Halo: Spartan Assault” on the Win8 tablets and PC with similar reactions that the game was impressive.


So if you are a Halo fan or just looking for a new amazing game to play then check out “Halo: Spartan Assault", which is a new top-down action shooter type of game, that brings a "Halo" video game to touch-based devices for the first time in franchise history.
