Halo Wars
About This Game: A strategy game based on the Halo universe, Halo Wars immerses you in an early period of the storied Halo universe, allowing you to experience events leading up to the first Halo title. With the guidance of Serina, a spirited artificial intelligence (A.I.) persona, direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs, Scorpions, and more, each group having its own strengths and uses in battle. Adventurous commanders can also call upon ancient Forerunner technology, if they are fortunate enough to find it hidden throughout the battlefield.
In campaign mode, command the armies of the UNSC warship Spirit of Fire, with familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind. Covenant forces are also waiting for you to lead them into battle in multiplayer skirmishes via the New Xbox Experience.

FASTERCHILD's Review: This is an interesting twist on the well known brand of Halo that we're all used too. When it was first being promoted and advertised I thought it was going to be a game that could only be played online with matches that were 50 players vs 50 players or something like that. I was really excited about it!
When I finally got around to playing it, I was pretty disappointed. It's pretty much exactly like Age of Empires, which I liked when I was a little younger, but when it comes to Halo I can only think of first person shooters. So, I am not sure if I only hated it because I thought it was going to be something completely different, or if the Halo branding doesn't fit this game at all. I guess that's really for you to decide. I think it is important for you to know that this game is nothing like the other Halo's.
