Microsoft readies ‘Halo 3’ for launch – Get in Line!

By

Microsoft Corp geared up on Monday to launch “Halo 3”, the acclaimed science-fiction video game that it hopes will widen its lead over rival Sony Corp in the battle for industry dominance.

Shoppers lined up before dawn in New York, many hours before the midnight sale of “Halo 3,” the equivalent of a new “Harry Potter” book or “Star Wars” film for the $30 billion video game industry. The game, in which players try to save humanity from an army of aliens, has drawn wide praise from reviewers for its lush settings, cinematic story and breadth of features.
