lol...i dont want to sound conspicuous but a lot of Sony ps3 fans seem to have an emotional attachment to Ensemble studios.

While I agree that its sad to see them go...I personally never heard of them until i heard of halo wars. Hope their last game is a good swansong...

 

Have you seriously never heard of Age of Empires?  The best friggin' RTS series out there?

Only the Battle for Middle-earth II and Supreme Commander touch the masterpieces that Ensemble has made (in my opinion - games like Company of Heroes are up there as well).

I heard "of" it...but I never knew who was behind it or that Microsoft was even involved. Mind you the only RTS I ever played was starcraft...for about a 2 week perion on my PC so its not my genre of choice.

 

 

That's why you didn't hear about them until they added a Halo title to their list... I am a sucker for a good RTS and Ensemble did the amazing Age of Empires, between them, Blizzard and Westwood (Command & Conquer before EA), i had a serious addiction...

That's why i want for Halo Wars to succeed, but not as a Halo game, but as a RTS... Ensemble deserves a good farewell...

DAMN YOU MS!!!
