Debating picking up Halo Wars... are there any special deals for buying it at particular stores?
 
I'm getting Halo Wars for me and a few friends as one of my friends is a big AoE buff and wants to get competitive with this.

So if anyone here gets it and wants to get in on some matches, you're welcome to join in with us.

I haven't seen any. I'm planning on getting it because I enjoyed the demo but I'm waiting on a $25 gift card that is coming from Gamestop first.
 
I'm gonna pick up HAWX, but my f'in 360 went out on Friday night. Expecting the box in on Wednesday so that we can get it fixed.
 
MLB 09: The Show for me.

I'm mildly interested in that Eat Lead game if I can find it on the cheap.
 
Finally played the demo of HAWX and could really see myself picking this one up along with The Show.
 
Halo Wars is getting mediocre reviews and I'd probably be dissapointed and comparing it to PC RTS's but I'm sure it's a good console RTS.

Much like Civ Rev got mediocre reviews - being debatably the best "turn based strategy" game on the consoles. It was still a good game, but not a real hard core strategy game.

I'm probably going to pick Halo wars up, not expecting a hardcore RTS.

 
Eat Lead sounds interesting. If done well could be a sleeper hit. Has the potential to be a real stinker too.

Civ Rev's review scores was undoubtedly influenced by who was reviewing the game and whether they were a PC gamer or not. For console gamers it was probably a really great game, and I'd agree. Very polished and fun. PC gamers who are familiar with Civ were probably very let down. I agree with them as well, Civ on the PC is 10x the game that Rev is. Halo Wars will probably see the same type of reviews.

Let's face it, consoles are not a strategy platform no matter how intuitive anybody thinks the controls can be.
 
What the bloody hell is Eat Lead? I've heard of it recently when they showed previews and interviews with Will Arnett and Neil Patrick Harris but what kind of game is it?

3rd person shooter, kind of in the style of Duke Nukem with humor and homages to other video games.

I am having trouble deciding as well.....2K9 feels more fun but I think The Show is the "better" game. Anyone pick either up yet?

MLB2K9 positive's

-hitting is much easier

MLB 09 the show +'s
-Graphics look better or more refined
-Pitching is much easier
-fielding is easier

Shhh... don't tell the Hot Deal folks:

Halo Wars for $45 shipped today only.

Beware though. This is not the full LE pack. The seller stripped out the Halo Mythic Map Pack Code and the Wraith code to sell on eBay. All you are getting is the game and the tin.

Still a good deal at that price. Just be aware that you aren't getting the full limited edition stuff.
