Halo Wars

I managed to sit down and play the Halo Wars demo over the weekend. Originally I had low expectations for this game, Ensemble has made some addicting games over the years, namely the Age of Empires Series, but never did I thought a Real Time Strategy game would work on a console, let alone a Halo RTS. I was wrong though. The game works, the controls are built for a controller and not for mouse and keyboard that are ported over to a controller. It also gives insight to the Halo series for those who didn’t read the books.

I know that this was the last game Ensemble was working on, and Halo 3:ODST is the last Halo project Bungie is working on, but I am still hoping that a new Halo project is announced after the latter. I love the Halo series, especially the Master Chief and Arbiter storylines, so maybe they will continue once ODST is out.
