The Halo universe expands into board games

Because Haloclix just didn't fill the tabletop Halo niche market, Genius Products, B1 Games and Microsoft have teamed up to create a new strategic Halo board game that's set to hit retailers this September. No joke!

The Halo Interactive Strategy game will feature characters and themes from Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 using 3D collectible figures in tandem with a "modular board that can be re-configured" that allows players to strategically battle it out board game style. It'll also somehow incorporate a DVD ... somehow. Not much else is known about the game's features or pricing (sorry, no pictures either), but we do know that it'll support expansion packs of some sort. You can color us interested, but we'd really like to see what the board game actually looks like. Heck, if all else fails, just release and mini version of the Halo 3 diorama and we'd be happy campers.
