Microsoft prepares a Halo anniversary bash

HUNCH SHOULDERED SUN AVOIDERS rejoice as Microsoft is planning a party to celebrate one of your behind closed doors pastimes.

The console game Halo will be the subject of festivities, as opposed to Wonder Woman costume changes, and Microsoft, with the aid of developer Bungie, will throw a big bash for it as it enters a second decade.

Halofest will take place at the larger Pax Prime event, which runs from 26-28 August, and might include some surprises. Possibly even a new installment in the series that was supposed to have extended itself with Halo: Reach.

"If you call yourself a Halo fan, this is the year to attend PAX Prime! With a PAX Prime badge, fans gain admission to Halo Fest, the largest and most expansive live Halo experience ever. Packed with tournaments, exclusive panels, and sweet prizes, Halo Fest is the place to be for Halo fans attending PAX Prime 2011," says the official Halo web site.

"This event commemorates ten incredible years of Halo, looking back at the amazing stories that forged a diverse community and redefined gaming for two entire console generations. [Join us] and see why the last ten years of Halo were just the beginning."
