Halo Wars

"You are their sword, you are their shield. This is how the world begins..."

Feb 6, 2008

Even if you’re a big Halo fan, the concept of Halo Wars may leave a bad taste in your mouth. Understandable, if you’ve ever played RTS games on a console. Perhaps you found the interface cumbersome, the pace of the combat (and the reactions it asks of you) directly at odds with the flexibility of the controls. Perhaps you’re thinking that things will be no different this time. But having seen gameplay in motion, we reckon ... » Read Full Halo Wars preview

Halo Wars - updated impressions

No Master Chief, but a hell of a lot of war

Aug 21, 2007

Aug 21, 2007 Cannon Fodder on the Genesis started it all, Starcraft on the N64 elevated the conflict and Command & Conquer deployed the first atomic weapons in the ongoing war between real-time strategy games and controllers.

The demo begins with a Pelican dropship zipping along a valley, flanked by two new Hawk helicopters, ... » Read Full Halo Wars preview

Halo Wars

If they want a war, we'll give them... an RTS

Feb 16, 2007

While the boys at Bungie are stealing all the limelight with Halo 3, Ensemble Studios are going about bringing the Halo -verse to 360 in RTS form quietly under the radar. There has been some skepticism about whether RTS can really work on a console but the notoriously protective Bungie has already thrown their full weight behind the project; and if anyones going to be able to pull it off, Ensemble Studios is, being the best in the business and all. The sheer importance of the Halo ... » Read Full Halo Wars preview
