Remember that if you already own the game on your Windows phone, PC, or tablet, you can pick up the Xbox One version for just $4.99—ten bucks off the regular retail price. To get the discount, you’ll need to have purchased the phone or PC version before Dec. 15, and use the same Xbox profile when you buy the game for Xbox One.
BNR: Ah, top-down shooters- one of the more arcade-ey genres with a measure of popularity today, there are quite a few of them on the market. Assuming you’ve played Asteroids (which drew inspiration from what many consider to be the first video game, SpaceWars) and want some more, which are worth your time? Don’t despair; my personal top-five is here! these are games that I personally really enjoyed- if you’re into top-down (also known as twin-stick) shooters, you’ll want to check these out.
My personal favorite TDS of all time is Dead Nation by House Marque. I loved that game so much, and clocked so many hours into it. Can't wait for Alienation.
With the latest update for the IOS games of Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike Xbox services have been added including achievements for both titles.
DD:
What’s quite incredible about Spartan Assault is that it has managed to encapsulate the atmosphere and design of the Halo games, previously exclusive to Microsoft systems, into the confines of an iPad. From the way troops behave, to the weapons and locations, it feels like an authentic Halo experience, even though it's a top-down dual stick shooter, rather than a FPS, and that’s the best thing Spartan Strike has going for it.
how cheap can you get?! if someone actually owns a windows 8 phone/tablet and bought the game AND owns an xbox one? that person is incredibly loyal to the MS brand - JUST GIVE THEM THE DAMN GAME.
Well this is better than nothing, I'll pick it up for $5.
Should be free as an Xmas gift to all Xbox gold members, or even all XBONE owners...
Oh wait it's XBL
They should adopt Crossbuy from Sony.
