Studios and Ensemble Studios announced that the much-awaited strategy game Halo Wars will be available in Middle East this February in both Standard and Limited Collector's Edition format.

Set in the iconic 'Halo' universe, Halo Wars puts you in command of the battlefield and combines the intensity of Halo with a riveting new story that predates the original first-person shooter 'Halo'.

Developed by Ensemble Studios, the creators of the critically-acclaimed Age of Empires series, Halo Wars was designed specifically for Xbox 360 and brings a genre that has typically thrived on the PC seamlessly to consoles.

From specialised controls to redesigned resource management and unit command, Halo Wars gives the player the fluid strategy experience he has been waiting for on a console and is an exclusive title for the Xbox 360 video game system, said a statement.-TradeArabia News Service
