Wow seems like a lot of Halo haters are having a field day with Gamespot's review.
Personally I think Gamespots reason for the score was utter fanboydom crap. It's like a Lord of the Rings fan giving the thumps down to the movies cause Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel were omitted.
I can see Halo Wars bringing many none RTS fans into giving it a go. I remember the days when elitist PC nerds said console FPS wouldn't work cause of the controls. I find Halo Wars very easy to control just like I find console FPS easy to control. Just cause it doesn't have the precision and easy of use of the mouse doesn't mean it control's bad. It's great to see Ensemble design a quality RTS with a console it mind and it shows.
Maybe Gamespot should've got a console gaming journalist (who doesn't dig keyboard and mouse including RTS games) to review it. I really think Ensemble & Microsoft want to reach out to a wider audeince as well as the Halo fans.
