Halo Wars

not sure about this one, but the demo will hit XBL on Feb. 5th and the game comes out Feb. 28th, so at least we'll get a chance to see just how good the controls are for this game. I still have yet to play an RTS on a console and like it. But that's all I really played on PC before getting a console, same as ppl that can't play FPS on console b/c they played so much on PC.

I'm right there with you, Aftr. I was a huge RTS nerd when I played on my PC mainly, and I would love to get a solid experience on a console. But the past attempts have had horrible controls.

Never been a fan of RTS games, but as a diehard Halo fanatic I'm torn. The demo at PAX was lackluster at best and ended abruptly like they forgot about PAX, but since the Limited Edition of this is going to be shipped with new Halo 3 maps before they are released on Live, I pretty much have to buy this even if it's hot garbage.

Hot garbage!

I'll be picking this up methinks. If the online play is solid, it could be a great time. Also, if it expands on the storyline, that would be worth at least a play through.

Yeah, maybe it will surprise me. I never got into an RPG before Oblivion, and I haven't gotten into one since, so maybe this will be the only RTS I play. Who knows?

Yeah, some spinners would be nice.

Also, just to clarify, Halo Wars won't be out in the U.S. until March 3rd.

Gamestop gives you a 20% trade-in bonus towards this game, which almost brings your trade-ins to the price you should be getting. Almost.

I know a few people who have gotten more in trade-in than they paid for the game, retail.

Clowns!



Here is a video of the game in action. I think it'll flip me out because I don't know everything that is going on, but I should face my fears, ya know?

I thought Civ was done pretty well. I will be looking forward to this one.
