A large variety of units, unique missions, and a fantastic control scheme all combine to make Halo Wars one of the the best RTS games available on any system.
Demigod launched last month for the PC, and since that time the gaming experience hasn't been very pleasant for players. The game was plagued with a broken street date which caused a cataclysm of problems including busted servers, and overload of pirates (the illegal kind, not the yarr kind), and a host of other issues.

Exclusive to the Wii, the game is value priced, retailing for a reasonable $40. Remember that you can get the game at Amazon and support Co-Optimus at the same time. It's even on sale, for 10% off. Let the bashing begin!
In this installment of The Co-Opticast, we discuss what we've been playing (hint: Hugh Jackman is a hunk), the lack of Campaign co-op in Modern Warfare 2 (with bonus comedy), the fall of 3D Realms, which may or may not actually be a fall, what we think about the state of Rhythm Action (music) games, and what our ideal co-op titles would be. All this, with additional snark, wrapped inside a lovely 45-minute package can be yours- if the price is right!

Or, perhaps if you are a Wii owner, you'll be playing through the game's campaign mode in local co-op.
As we told you yesterday, Terminator: Salvation launches today. To celebrate the game's launch Warnerbros has released a final trailer for the game.

We've been following the 3D Realms saga for a few weeks now, and it appears things have just taken an unexpected turn. Contrary to what was reported, even on their own website, 3D Realms is not shut down - but rather the entire Duke Nukem Forever team was let go.
This week on Xbox Live Arcade we have what looks to be a unique co-op puzzle game called Gel: Set & Match. The game is from Gastronaut Studios, the same folks who made Small Arms, and is a successor to their Xbox 1 title called Fuzzee Fever.
David Jaffe thinks that zombie games are -- for the most part -- "played out". His mini-rant on Twitter inspired The Enquirer of gaming blogs to ask the question: have we had enough?
Hot on the heels of, well, pretty much every other Guitar Hero release, comes news of Guitar Hero 5.
