The reviews are pouring in, but the review I've just read is the one from Kotaku. It sounds like fun, but the limited multiplayer seems like a bummer. Speaking of Halo Wars, if you've been reading Joystiq, you may have seen this. Teensy NSFW.
I have grown weary talking about consoles.
I tried the demo and turned it off before I finished the second mission, the long awaited "controls designed specifically for consoles" turned out to be the exact same clunky RTS controls that everything else uses. If they added keyboard & mouse support then I'd probably buy it because the story looked a bit interesting but the controls are just too annoying.
The sad thing is a shitload of fanboys that have never played an RTS will be spouting 'LIKE ZOMG HALO INVENTED THE FPS AND THE RTS!!'

Keyboard and mouse? I wonder if the XFPS360 will run it.
Thats the adapter thing isn't it? Hmm, might be worth a shot I suppose, could make the game fun. Do they work well?
And yes, there'll be plenty of n00bs who'll eventually accuse C&C 3 of ripping off halo wars and hopefully they'll be ripped a new one by people with a sense of history, it's only fitting

I'm not sure, I've never tried it.
I think a second one's been made, but I'm not sure. I hear that it isn't very good with the x/y axis.
I was a fan of Ensemble Studios for Age of Series. But this game is really not good. Microsoft killed the Ensemble for Halo franchise for me.
