Halo Wars (16+)

 

ONE of the gaming world’s biggest franchises tries its hand at some Real Time Strategy action — with explosive results.

Halo Wars sees you take control of armies of UNSC soldiers, warthogs and other kinds of creatures as you lead them into battle.

Campaign mode is engrossing and multi-player brilliant. Controls are simple and the cut-scenes satisfying. In fact, there’s not a lot wrong with this one. 8.8 out of 10 - OWEN ANSLOW
