THE BUZZ: Microsoft has teamed up with GAME to offer UK Halo fans a chance to play Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary two weeks before its official release date.

The company will host two open events, the first at Gamestation’s Birmingham New Street Store on November 4 and the second at the GAME in Kingston Upon Thames on November 12. Both events will allow players to try out the game between 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM, with a chance to win several prizes including limited edition Xbox 360, Kinect, 10,000 MS Points, a Gold Subscription to Live and copies of the game.

“What better way to celebrate ten years of the most beloved gaming franchise of all time than by inviting loyal Halo fans to come and play Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary before it officially releases,” said Stephen McGill, Director of Xbox and Entertainment at Microsoft.

EGM’s TAKE: If you’re in the UK and live near one of these stores then why not pop down there.
