Halo on the Small Screen
"One of the biggest video game franchises in the world is headed to the mobile game space: Halo. Microsoft Games Studio has tapped mobile maker IN-FUSIO to create a suite of applications (games, ringtones, etc.) based on the hit Xbox game, starring the Master Chief. Halo 2 cemented the franchise's place as a phenom, with first-day sales totaling $125 million. A movie based on the game is due in 2007."
Picture from Xbox.com
The Covenant have invaded your mobile device, and Master Chief needs your help to defeat them. While I have no clue as to whether Halo will be making its way to the Pocket PC, I think it's neat that it has at least jumped into the mobile gaming space. Additional information can be found at IGN and Geekzone.

This would be absolutely sweet on the Dell x50v/x51v series with their graphics processors!

My thoughts exactly. Now that Windows Mobile 5.0 brings Direct3D support, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing some really sweet games. 8)

While Halo2 is a great game I always thought the single-player misson ends way too soon and really just is an introduction to Halo3.
Although, it would be a cool game on the pocket pc  .

Good to see. My gf just told me tonight that apparently she broke my Sony PSP which I hand lent her (I'd barely seen it myself these last few months).
That and my recently broken PDA2k, it's as if the gaming gods are trying to steer me true (in the direction of newer, more powerful gaming PPCs).

I think the articles are stating that the game is for mobile cell phones, nothing else. That was what I understood from both articles. Halo on the PSP would be nice. Microsoft has no plans for a xbox handheld, so why not make it for the PSP. Would be nice though on a PocketPC if we didn't need a high end model and windows mobile 5.

Well, we don't even know if it'll be hitting Pocket PC screens yet.

The articles only referenced mobile cell phones really. No thanks. Halo on a small tiny screen?! What are they thinking.
