Halo: Spartan Assault ending Verizon exclusivity

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

It’s been just about a month since Microsoft released Halo: Spartan Assault as a Windows Phone exclusive. Though we’d seen companion Halo apps from the platform before, getting a full-fledged title of its own like this could stand to do a lot for the reputation of gaming on WP8. Problem was, Verizon had worked a deal where only its users would get access to the title for the first 30 days following launch. With H:SA debuting the evening of July 18, today marks day 30, which means that the rest of you Windows ...

That right there is some broadcast heroism, folks. No matter what Taylor Martin’s new-office excuses are. But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. No, we’re about a week overdue for an audio-only examination of Nokia’s newest flagship, the Lumia 1020: we’ll cover it’s high, low, and so-so points, and debate just how ...

The launch party for the much-anticipated new Halo game; Halo: Spartan Assault for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 just happened on July 16th in New York City and we got to take a look at how it works thanks to a little demo from 343 Studios.  No one was able to tell us an exact release date for the game just yet, and that’s probably because the developers are still putting a few final touches on it.  The version we got to demo didn’t even have all of the levels or the achievements put together. Still, we expect it to be released in July and it will be available first only on ...
