I grew up playing RTS games using hot keys and a mouse. The game seems top notch with the caveat that although the controls are well done, it would be so much easier if there was mouse and keyboard support on the 360. Unfortunately there's no co-op play to be had, but you'll still get a good idea of just where this title is heading. Nick had his own first impressions to share of the demo, and I simply sought to elaborate on that just a little bit by asking some of the staff what their personal impressions of the brief demo were. Thankfully they didn't drop Halo's staple of having co-op. Taking a best selling first person shooter, and changing the scale, and style of game so it's barely recognizable.well, there were bound to be some thoughts on it.

Of course, the Halo franchise means different things to different people – but the direction Halo Wars has gone is most interesting to me. This month has been a big one for high profile demo releases, one of which is Halo Wars.
