Halo on your phone?!?
I don't know if anyone else reads the news articles on the side of the PWR 209 screen, but one happened to catch my attention. Apparently, Microsoft has struck a deal with French mobile games maker In-Fusio to bring Halo to mobile phones.
I don't know about anyone else, but video games on your cell phone just seem to be taking things to the extreme to me. I mean, I'm aware you can get cames like Excite Bike and Tetris and Jeopardy already, but this is a popular X-Box game that apparently wasn't making enough money selling at $60 a pop in the stores but now has to bring in more mindless zombies by attracting people to play it wherever they go.
I think things are just getting out of control in this technological age. We're doing everything in our power, it seems, to steer away from educational purposes like books, and distract ourselves from the big, bad world on the other side of our door. It's sad how many people don't pick up a newspaper or turn on CNN because they're more interested in seeing their "shows."
People are obsessed with PSPs and video systems and the newest phones that no one cares about the amount of money that they're spending just to keep up. It's ridiculous- case and point, my boyfriend told me about how he wanted to get the new verizon phone that's coming out in October. He explained it to me as the newest kind of phone that has a huge TV screen on one side of the phone so that you can watch clips of thins and videos and stuff. When I asked him why he told me just because it was cool. I think it's ridiculous to just get a phone just because it's cool.
