GamingShogun reviews Ensemble Studios' last gaming effort, Halo Wars. The give the game high marks on overall fun, cutscenes, and story but also warn that the game features a couple missions sure to make you want to rip your hair out in frustration. For those of you who do not know, Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game set in the Halo universe, specifically, twenty years before the events of Halo the video game.

Thankfully, SPARTAN units are not the entire focus of the game. These legendary warriors are brought in to the campaign in epic fashion and are used like a fine spice in a very complex meal. Too much and they would lose their potency as the gamer would get desensitized to them while not having enough SPARTANs would just displease too many fans entirely. Ensemble has balanced this nicely and you will find yourself always welcoming Group Omega, even yelling at them by their individual names, sometimes... When no one else nearby is in range to hear you.
