Halo Wars is a different approach from the makers of Halo. For anyone who loved or loves RPGs like Starcraft or Age of Empires, you will love this Halo RPG. Fight as the Covenant or Humans in a race to build an army and battle eachother with Halo weaponry and characters.
Any lover of Halo needs to add this game to his shrine. Plus it gives you something to game out on until Halo: ODST is released this September!
Buy or Rent Halo Wars from Gamefly!
