Few people who love a bargain as much as us, and even fewer enjoy sharing them quite as much either. Luckily for you, we just can't help ourselves, so when we saw that Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One is down to just $26.99 for limited time, we thought you ought to know.
It's sometimes difficult to believe that the strength and popularity of one gaming title can push a specific set of users to opt for one platform over the other. Granted, dedicated gamers are extremely passionate individuals, and more often than not often have a particular title or franchise that they enjoy more than most. But specifically opting for one device over another based on that strength of that title is a bold move. According to NPD data, subsequently shared by Microsoft, the software-giant company's Xbox One has managed to outsell Sony's PlayStation 4, with the assistance of the latest Halo 5: Guardians.
A few weeks back, it was announced that Halo: Spartan Assault would be hitting the Windows Store and Windows Phone Store in the near future and today, the title has just appeared for both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.

More details after the break.
It was one of the first games released along with the original Xbox, and Halo has remained one of the most popular franchises in the gaming industry ever since.
