Attention RTS fans who also love Halo: It appears as if a small sliver of an update has landed across the Internet this morning for Halo Wars. According to some Ensemble Studio and Microsoft peeps, the game is playable and looking lovely (not like they'd say it sucked or anything). Here's what was said:
"We made sure we had a fairly polished build of our game ready for these folks to play, including some wicked new UI work by Ensemble Studios Artist Andy Gotcher and Programmer Billy Khan. By all accounts the Microsoft gang had a good time with the game and was quite impressed with its current state. We've got a long way to go still, but it's very encouraging when a group like this can sit down and have fun beating the hell out of each other so far from any ship date."
If you're like me (and I know you are), then you can't wait to get your hands on an RTS based on the Halo series. You better not f*ck this one up Ensemble! No pressure or anything, though.

There's some good guys over there and they're working hard on it.
it wouldve been cool if bungie had handled it but I guess theyre fully dedicated to h3...
bungie made some great rts games back in the day.
Could be great. Then again, expectations are very high. Most will be let down, I'm afraid.
if they put hobbits in it, i'll kill myself.

Anyways, I really just wanted you to recommend a good Wii game, because I've only played Excite Trunk, Zelda, & .... .. wario ware. Rayman too.
Don't have too much to recommend on the Wii. It's been collecting dust lately. Although, I fired it up to create celebrity Miis. Got my Wii for free here at work, so I'm not entirely too pissy about it.
I was going to get SSX Blur for myself, but I'd love to get my girlfriend a game without gimped controls. I just didn't wanna suffer through Viva Pinata.
(sigh) Pinata it is huh...
I'll see you on XBL. bhive get a 360.
The Wii is finally starting to piss me the fuck off. Smash Bros. can't come soon enough. Sonic and the Rings game even looks terrible... fuck..
