The Windows Phone platform is getting some pretty cool content; it's not yet up there with the likes of Android and iOS, but it is getting there. The latest Windows Phone 8 content to hit the Windows Phone Store is a game called Jack Hale, and it's an exciting new third-person shooter.

Since the game is in beta, you will come across a bug here and there along with a few gameplay problems, so just report feedback to the developers on what you have found. After playing for quite some time, I must admit that Jack Hale is a fun game with lots of promise to do well in the Windows Phone Store.

Your character is Captain Jack Hale, who was sent to planet Fobos 4, where the good old captain is forced to fight for his life if he wants to survive the wrath of the Empire. At his disposal, Hale has a number of weapons to use against the Empire forces, many of which you'll have to purchase if you want to have the upper-hand in this deadly fight.

Jack Hale is a third-person 3D shooter in a sci-fi world with great graphics and exciting gameplay. The game is running in the test mode, so it completely free for now.

Cool graphics play in full 3D; there are unique levels, numerous enemies, a variety of weapons and special effects. There's quite a lot going in this game, and hopefully when the developer gets rid of all the bugs and makes it a paid title, the fun aspect will still be around. Download it here from the Windows Phone Store.
