Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game from Microsoft and Ensemble Studios, and it first hit the Xbox 360 in 2009. The game was largely well-received, though development was rocky and it ended up being Ensemble Studios' final title. Ensemble founder Tony Goodman said in 2012 that the game wasn't originally Halo-themed, but Microsoft thought it would perform better if it carried a recognizable name. Plus, Bungie, the studio that created Halo, was never into the idea of Halo Wars, Goodman said.

Current Halo developer 343 Industries and Alien: Isolation studio Creative Assembly are working on Halo Wars 2 for Xbox One and Windows 10. Last we heard, that one was due in fall 2016.

That's enough about Halo.
