Excited to see that people think the game is solid. I'll definitely need to check it out.

NinjaSqrl2649d ago

It's an easy jumping-in point for someone new to RTS and an enjoyable game for those experienced in the genre.

nowitzki20042649d ago

More people need to play RTS games. Most will say its not their type of game... I used to think that but was lucky to have friends who have played Command and Conquer back in the day. Its one of the best gaming genres. im glad Halo Wars makes it easy to get into, because It can be too much to handle in the beginning.

A definite improvement on the original. And Blitz mode is a blast!

Player3Podcast2649d ago

I've heard that it's a good, frenetic game type.

Yeah it's great to see a console RTS be successful for once. Think the last time such a thing happened that I enjoyed was the old Army Men RTS on the PS2.

NinjaSqrl2649d ago

Although I have issues with the unit cap, I think keeping the armies small helps to force the game in that more strategic direction in some ways.

Player3Podcast2649d ago

Holy cow! I forgot that Army Men RTS existed. I spent a lot of hours playing that game.

nowitzki20042649d ago

Last gen had Halo Wars 1 and Middle Earth which I remember being good.

NinjaSqrl2649d ago

I never actually played Middle Earth. I love LotR, though, so I may have to go back and revisit it.

Fishy Fingers2649d ago

There is a great LoTR mod for Total War:Attila that's worth checking out if you have a PC.

MKUltra2649d ago

I've always had a tough time getting into RTSs. This seems a bit more accessible though. It's also cool to see how this game builds on the Halo lore.

Player3Podcast2649d ago

That's the bridge for me. The Halo lore would cover over some of the issues I think playing on a gamepad would present.

NinjaSqrl2649d ago

I do enjoy all of the stories we get out of the Halo universe.

Skaymore2649d ago

I really need to get into an RTS

NinjaSqrl2649d ago

This is an easy one to get into.

Crossplay Will Be In College Football 25 But Not In Online Dynasty Mode

EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel18h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga17h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot17h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B16h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga15h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb11h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid18h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman18h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.
