Yeah buddy! demo comes out on Feb. 5. Set to release on March 3. I will put in my pre-order next month and be playing it on that day!

To my knowledge this is the first RTS to be designed specifically for a console. I am pumped about it.

Cueil, I think it will enjoy a healthy presence for Q1, but come May 19th it ain't gonna matter anymore. No game will.

 

Yep, first console-rts, not rts for a console. I was pretty pleased by C&C Kane's Wrath, IMO it is still the best RTS on console you can find.

But they promised that Halo-Wars is another breed (you will note that I take all the precautions for what is communciated around that game, not like the KZ2 marketing hysteria...).

Anyhow, I'm so starving for an RTS game (and RA3 was such a failure to me...) that I will get it, even if it is below initial expectations. Why ? Cause I'm an Halo fan of course.

PS: Starwars Force Unleashed received poor press reviews, but as a SW fan, it was one of my favorite game this year so...

I'm not so much of a Halo fan as I'm a lapsed RTS fan

 edit: btw SW: FU was also one of my favs... I understand why it got bad ratings, but the story made up easily for any short commings it had.
