The man not only has a great voice and big fan following, he plays a mean game of Halo on Xbox.
Justin Timberlake spent several hours yesterday at Microsoft Game Studios in Redmond, touring Xbox land. He played with the Bungie team, developers of the popular Halo game and the insiders say he's good.
Of course, practice helps.
It turns out Timberlake has four Xbox consoles on his tour bus. He and the band members link up and go multiplayer as the bus rolls from gig to gig. But even the famous still have to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDA) when they're seeing characters and games not released.
He walked into the Redmond Xbox offices and said, "I signed the NDA so where's the game?"
Timberlake was referring to Halo 2, which hasn't been released. Halo 2 is the Xbox game that was a big hit at last month's E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in Los Angeles. Timberlake also tried Counter-Strike and Crimson Skies, two games that will be released for the holidays.
He thrilled the Bungie team by signing autographs and multiplaying with them. They, in turn, tried to wow him with their latest game, Brute Force.
Been there, done that.
Timberlake already has the game, which was released this month.
