    That was really quite cool - and the control issues for a console look quite well resolved too. We love orbital bombardment, on yes we do. Shame about the lack of a PC version!

    Yeah, I really like the look of this. Still not been convinced with an RTS on 360 yet, but it would be great if Halo Wars can nail it.

    It'll be up against the expansion for C&C3 - which is supposed to feature a new control system for the 360 so it'll be an interesting comparison.
