  • Halo Wars as a whole offers a few trade-offs while bringing the RTS genre successfully to consoles. It’s streamlined and simplified, but it brings that in the right places and the end result is a great experience. It does feel like developers ran out o...

  • Abstract:  This is yet another great addition to the Halo trilogy. Halo Wars takes the player 20 years before the original Halo: Combat Evolved, but in an entirely new game style. Halo Wars is not a first person shooter (FPS) like the previous installments. Inste...
