Halo Wars - Xbox 360

I didn't know what Halo Wars was before buying it - I saw the Halo name and snapped it up. I was massively disappointed when I started playing it and really didn't enjoy it. In all played for about an hour before it was put on the shelf and left to gather dust before it was moved into the loft, only to be brought down years later during a house move and then being sent on its merry way to the charity shop - where it is now sat... still gathering dust.

I will admit that I wasn't that excited when this game first came out, as I'm not a big fan of the RTS genre. However, I am a big Halo fan, and after playing this game at a friend's house, I just had to buy it. Despite this game being a few years old it still has a lot to offer. People still play the multiplayer modes, the campaign is great and it's a well polished game. If you're a Halo fan and you don't have this in your collection, buy it. It's only a tenner.

A fun little game that I enjoyed the hell out of. It doesn't really expand the Halo universe in any meaningful way - in that its events don't really effect the main series, but it was cool to play, the controls worked well, and it was interesting to see how well a different developer handled the Halo universe. Considering how cheaply you can pick this up now, I'd recommend it

Top down action strategy featuring Spartans and scorpion tanks? Yes please. And don't forget the scarabs.

Good classic game
