Microsoft Allows Gamers to Play Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Two Weeks Early

Want a chance to play Halo: CE Anniversary a solid two weeks before it hits store shelves? Well if you live in the UK you’re in luck.

Microsoft, in collaboration with GAME, is hosting two events in the UK that will allow players to get their hands on the game between the hours of 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM, with the chance to win prizes including limited edition Xbox 360, Kinect, 10,000 MS Points, a Gold Subscription to Live and copies of the game.

The events will take place at Gamestation’s Birmingham New Street Store on November 4 and the second at the GAME in Kingston Upon Thames on November 12. “What better way to celebrate ten years of the most beloved gaming franchise of all time than by inviting loyal Halo fans to come and play Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary before it officially releases,” said Stephen McGill, Director of Xbox and Entertainment at Microsoft.

If you know how to get to these locations, there really is no reason not to swing by and check out the game. Even if you’re not really into Halo, it still sounds like the event will be a good time.
