Halo Reach vs Halo Wars
Halo Reach
Halo Reach is one of the best spin-offs from the award-winning Halo series. Set in a whole new planet called Reach, the UNSC is attempting to deny the Covenant a hold on the planet and in its defense, they have sent their best team yet, the Noble Team. Joining the team as their sixth member, you'll need to work with your comrades and defend Reach from the hordes of the Covenant.Halo: Reach has been touted as being one of the best Halo game of all time mainly because of its amazing storyline and a gameplay that's fun and engaging. Aside from an impressive campaign, the game also features an addictive multiplayer aspect which includes a compelling 4-player co-op Firefight mode that, in fact, is one of the main highlights of the game. Despite being out for 7 years and counting, this game is still very well-loved by fans and critics alike.
Halo Wars
Halo Wars is the MMORTS spin-off that was inspired by the popular sci0fi shooter franchise, Halo. However, unlike a shooter, this time around you can choose to side with either the Covenant or the UNSC as they raise armies and battle each other on the battlefield. The game feels a lot like any other great MMORTS games, like Starcraft, but although the game supports keyboard controls, you might still want to plug in a controller because... well Halo is an XBox-exclusive series and as you might expect, its spin-offs are pretty much the same thing.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can choose to play cooperatively with friends against a super strong AI in the campaign or you can go online and engage in intense, action-packed warfare with other players from all over the world through the versus game mode. However, a quick note though, waiting for its random matchmaking to find an opponent will take quite some time. So, if possible, go and meet your fellow players and add a couple of them as friends. At least when you want to play a game, you won't have to wait too long for one.
