Halo addicts are going to get a kick out of Project Warthog which takes the awesomeness of Halo out of the Xbox and onto the street. Project Warthog is essentially a Wi-Fi connected Power Wheels truck with an Xbox 360 controller. A cute little laser tag gun mounted on each unit gives players the ability to indulge in some real life Halo style laser tag.
Project Warthog creator Tim Higgins unleashed his army of tiny-tike trucks at Microsoft’s PDC09 conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center to the thrill of spectators.
