I like Halo Wars........

I bought the Halo Wars edition of the Xbox 360 Pro a little more than a month ago. Basically a Pro with Halo3 and Halo Wars bundled.

Immediately started playing Halo3 which took me about three days of steady gaming to finish. Afterwards I had a look at the manual for Halo Wars and was like: "Strategy game.....?? For a console........?? Pass!!! "

And there it stood...... waiting. Yesterday I was playing some Mass Effect (after I had finally connected my Xbox to my LCD monitor) but after a while I was in the mood for something else. I don't have that many games just yet so I decided I'd give Halo Wars a try. This was around about 18:00......... I finally managed to drag myself away at 00:15.

Who would've thought that a strategy game on a console would keep me as captivated as this.

Though its a very basic rts by the standards of C&C, Star Craft or even age of empires it works brilliantly on Console for exactly that reason. Its not weighed down by things that won't work on a console with console controls. It is also very much Halo, with the little Warthogs maneuvering like they do in any other Halo.
I have to confess i haven't played it since i bought it as alot of other stuff begged my attention but once i have a little more time i will get back to it.

I refuse to buy new titles at the crazy prices they're going for so I'm either going to wait for it to come down a bit or I'm going to do the rental thing at BT games. Either way I'm looking forward to playing it

That's exactly it. It's so basic it works perfectly. I'm not a big RTS fan, but I tell ya, I haven't had this much fun with an RTS since Warcraft3.
