Halo Wars vs Starcraft
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.
Starcraft
Starcraft spans the galaxy as the Terran Dominion is settling into its new space, 2 alien races threaten this new Human endeavour. The ravenous Zerg and enigmatic Protoss both have agendas for the local space, and it falls to you to protect it. Or of course, you can be one of the alien races and see if you can dominate as one of them too.Here you have a stunning mix of real time strategy gameplay with over thirty missions and maps for you to enjoy. Build your base and gaher local resources to develop and build your army. Upgrade units and then send them into battle in hostile environments or send them marauding through bases. If that is not enough for you there is also a level editor where you can make your own and share them with friends, and of course take them on head to head in games too.
All in all this is a groundbreaking game full of action and lots of adventure. Come and see for yourself and discover another great universe to play in.
