| Halo Wars is a real-time action strategy game for the Xbox 360 that allows the player to control large armies and to shrewdly direct them in realistic warfare. Set early in the iconic war between the Covenant and UNSC - made famous by the Halo FPS games - Halo Wars provides a new angle on the war while bringing new heroes to the battle.

UNSC Cougar
- Sometimes it's all about getting to the front line. The UNSC Cougar is a lightweight, fast and highly flexible armored vehicle. Although heavy armor fire will blow the Cougar away quite easily, this vehicle is highly effective holding off enemy armored vehicles while the slower armored ones are on transit. The Cougar had gained infamy in several urban tactical situations prior to the deployments in the war with the Covenant.
UNSC Supply Pad
- Behind every good UNSC base is a series of good Supply Pads. Providing access to the underground assembly and storage areas, these pads are crucial to the smooth operation of any base. Providing everything from medical kits to full-sized Warthog engines, the crew of a well run supply pad knows that a working pad means a working base.
Covenant Air Artillery
- Recently sighted behind several front line battles, it seems that the Covenant have developed an air based artillery unit. With no on board defenses, it can be very vulnerable if dealt with promptly. However, its heavy plasma mortar cannons can lay waste to an entire UNSC base quickly and it is therefore critical that we gain more field information on this vehicle.

I was apprehensive at first about Halo Wars, considering that in the past Real Time Strategy (RTS) and consoles have not mixed well. Dating back two generations of hardware, we witnessed many bad ports of computer based RTS's. These were bad because they had focused on being, first and foremost, for the computer.
Halo Wars changed my opinion on the matter with a supposedly short demo. I must have played through and through it for a minimum of ten hours before the game finally arrived. The interface system is simplistic but intuitive and gives the user a feeling that they have everything in control. The AI responds to your actions to a degree that is refreshing, based on what difficulty they are set to. Many times have I had a suitable defense torn apart by a sudden and unfathomably strong attack force.
In terms of the story, if you've played any of Bungie's trilogy so far and enjoyed the plot, then by all means, this game WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! Sitting back and watching c...[More]

| I actualy loved halo wars! It was for the most part good, only issue is the gameplay difference between campaign and skirmishs(skirmishs are the online multiplayer, yet you can practice against AI offline). The skirmish system was realy realy good, and the automatic level was pretty useful. The AI is brilliant since they get stronger and stronger as you get better when its in automatic difficulty(...[More] |

| Well I am a huge Halo fan but I was a little bit skeptical about buying this game cause even though the creators of Halo are good at making shooters that doesn't mean that they can make good strategy games. But boy did they hit the nail right on the head when they made this game. Also I am a big Command and Conquer fan and Halo Wars blows that game out of the water. The game play in Halo Wars is j...[More] |

Halo Wars is a fun strategy outing for fans of the universe, but it feels simplistic and short alongside other games in the genre.
