Halo Wars

By L.B. Jeffries

The design abandons almost all of the micromanagement elements of the genre in favor of a purified tactical race. The result has its flaws, but not without proving that there is a unique kind of elegance in its simplicity. [27 March 2009]

By Ryan Smith

If you can look past the fact that much of the combat was done with slow-loading, inaccurate rifles by men in gaudy uniforms, you'll find it hard to believe how few games have been made about the era. [1 January 1995]
