I played the demo the other day and certainly at face value should be a good direction for the Halo franchise and looks to be the best game of its type on a console. Should shift a few additional consoles would of course been huge news if this offer was to extend to the US or Europe.
"SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - February 19, 2009 - Halo WarsTM, the next instalment in the blockbuster Xbox 360 Halo® franchise, will hit shelves on February 26th 2009. To celebrate, Xbox has today announced that every purchase of a new Xbox 360 console will receive a copy of Halo Wars* at no additional charge."
Currently Australian ONLY Offer...
Halo Wars is to the Real Time Strategy genre what Honey Nut is to the original Cheerios cereal; dust off that sugary, accessible coating from the game’s exterior and you will no doubt find a bunch of scenarios focusing on resource management and troop deployment.
