Win Halo Wars demo early

Simply tell us why you should get access.

Microsoft will release Halo Wars, an RTS spin-off in the Halo universe, exclusively for Xbox 360 on February 27, but lucky Xbox LIVE members will be able to download a demo from February 5. That's still two days away though, so we've teamed up with Microsoft to offer five VideoGamer.com readers the demo two days early.

Simply post in the comments section below detailing why we should give one of the five precious download tokens to you, and the top five comments by 5pm will win an early download. Halo related jokes and puns are high on our wanted list, but sob stories are also in with a chance.

Look out for more Halo Wars coverage today, tomorrow and throughout February.

Competition is open to registered users only. Competition now closed

Bah, so close yet so far. I think admitting I didn't have a 360 was a poor decision in retrospect :p

I WAS A HALO FAN SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD

I feel the need to express the fact that I am a person who has genuinely affected by the current economic climate, do note that gaming has been my hobby, just like my kids, at the moment I want them not to endure the pain of unemployement and the financial restrictions. Above all I am an avid halo fan who has allways loved teabaging on halo 3 and I want to continue the sega to halo wars.

"Yo Momma's so fat she jumped through Halo and got stuck."
"Yo Momma's so fat when she fell through the map, she killed the Guardians."
"Yo Momma's so fat they use her to play King of the Hill."
"Yo Momma's so fat when she spawned she got a Killamanjaro, Killamanjaro, Killamanjaro..."

..not my jokes but they're damn funny and worth a try =)

You had me at "Halo."

Now just picture me as Rene I forgot her surname from "Jerry McGuire".
Truly terrible.

My dad was the leader; a 'chief', if you will.

Luckily, I have my videogames to escape to when I have been brutally beaten by my parents, and that is why I need Halo Wars.

Please, kind sirs. See it in your hearts to give me a copy of the demo...

Pwetty pweeeease?
You need to enter into some kind of covenant with them.

It's useless, I hear they are heartless jackals.

Etc.

Well i would have to say I need this more than anyone here as i have traded my copy of halo 3 in to Game and ever since i have done nothing but craddle in the corner of my room in regret. This would save me be it a couople of days early.

Plus red alert 3 is boring me now. If all fails come 4:59pm i will have to use my jedi mind trick " You WILL give me the halo wars demo code. "
