Halo’s Master Chief on your mobile

by Jayvee on October 3rd, 2005

There’s really no room to negotiate when a Needler is pressed onto your head. This is exactly what Microsoft did to IN-FUSIO, leading mobile applications developer for phones. Of course, they had very little choice but to say yes. Well, there’s also that hefty sum of money involved but again, who could say no to the Master Chief?

There’s a lot to be said about mobile gaming - as in portable console gaming. But there’s not much on mobile gaming for your phone. The Nokia N-Gage is by far the only dedicated gaming device that also doubles as a cellular phone. It’s scary to see no other company trying to copy this business model. So its either the N-Gage sucks or Symbian J2ME gaming is in!

Even Gamespot has come up with an online survey making players vote on what form the Master Chief should take on his mobile adventure.

With the polls in, I wonder how the devs are going to develop a targeting system.

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.
