Halo Wars
Bungie confirms that the Halo universe can take on a strategy title. Halo Wars creates that colourful world that is expected from a Halo game. Unsurprisingly, each unit from the previous instalments fits seamlessly. The story fills in some of the holes created between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Keeping up with a strategy game on a console still has its snags; losing location of smaller units is quite easy. A personal recommendation is to use the co-op option in the game and have your friend manage all of the bases, while you command the armies. A small issue that has plagued any Halo game is that any Spartan, besides Master Chief, is anti-climatic. As awesome it is to see a mini Spartan run around the map they seem to die quite easily. But this is not a problem that is exclusive to Halo Wars, looking at you Reach. Nonetheless Halo Wars is a must have for a collector and a must play for any Halo fan.
