Okay folks, I expect some of you who got it for Win8 to get it for the 360! I need people to game with me in this. Well, not that I NEED, rather I want people to game with me in this. I know it’s easy enough to play solo. I just have more fun when gaming with others.

WOW! 343 WOW! I’m sorry Sal but I can’t purchase this game until the end of February due to the delay of the offer in places like the UK, and I was so hyped to play the flooded mode. Oh well 🙁 I’ll make sure to play when I get the game for console.
Sure thing mate.
Sal,
Count me in on that! Tomorrow and Saturday will be busy for me, but Saturday night and Sunday I will be all over Spartan Assault.
You bet man!
