Halo Wars is potentially fucking awesome

no tag view

The soon to be-released RTS spin-off of Bungie’s beloved Halo franchise is about to be released in less than a month. Halo Wars, lovingly crafted by the soon de-funct Ensemble studios, is set to revolutionize the way players go about real time strategy-games in a console enviroment — just like Halo once did for first person shooters.

While the future of Ensemble Studios is unclear, additional downloadable content for Halo Wars is being evaluated; probably depending on how many Halo fans will be willing to trade in their Assault-Rifles for a cursor. Here is hoping that the juggernaut of a franchise and the relatively good release-date will be beneficial to the game that, so far, is looking to live up to it’s name… and it’s not as if there had been a disappointing entry in the series so far.

A demo is slated for the 2nd of february, but if you want to be amongst the lucky few who will be playing the demo this weekend, all you need to do is write me a haiku why you should be the one to have it. The winner will be notified and be given the key for the download on thursday night. I am not eligible — damn.
