"Waypoint" Win Phone 7 app Demo

We know that a Halo offshoot will be coming to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 and the idea of controlling Master Chief on your phone has many gamers salivating. The company is showing off a brief demo of the Waypoint app and it could just be a taste of what’s to come.

If you’re not a hardcore gamer, then you probably have no idea what Halo Waypoint is. It’s not really a game but a way to keep track of all your Halo community and stats. Microsoft said the app only took three months to get on Silverlight and it will be available for free in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

As Windows Phone 7 looms, Microsoft appears to be placing a large emphasis on gaming and that’s a good thing in my mind. Microsoft’s Xbox is arguably the best console gaming experience – PlayStation 3 may have better graphics and the Wii may have more casual appeal but I think the Xbox puts together the best combination of games, graphics and services.
