Interested to see how this will sell with the Halo name slapped on it.

Strategy games don't tend to sell as much as some of the other genres, not to mention console strategy games, which have been quite scarce till this generation.

I'll keep my eye on reviews, but right now I don't think I'll be getting it.

Only strategy games I've liked have been Civ/Anno and Settlers.

I would get it, I've always liked the Command and Conquer games, and the Age of empire/etc series.

So logically I would like this, but I have no Xbox360, and since there is no PC release, I will have to go over a friends if he does get it.

But do RTS fair well with controllers?

or a better question, what was it like playing on C&C3 on the 360?

I played the demo for C&C3 on the 360 and the control scheme (after doing the training session to get over the slight learning curve) was pretty intuitive and from what I hear, Halo Wars' control scheme is very good. I don't play much of C&C but I always enjoy it when I do, so there's probably a good chance I'll pick Halo Wars up when it comes out.

Ah ok, I know that the C&C3 control scheme was changed slightly for the expansion, well I think.

But I use to play C&C games on the Ps1, so surely it can only get better, lol.
