About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7547 Days* How is it controlled?
* What is the resource model?
* How does it stand out from the RTS crowd?
* Why should I care about this game other than having the Halo name? Yes, Ensemble is a good studio, but what makes Halo Wars worth getting excited about over C&C3, Dawn of War, SC2, etc?

Since 7288 Days* How is it controlled?
We picked up an Xbox 360 controller to play a round of four-player Team Skirmish. Though the game was far from complete, it was already obvious that Ensemble's attention to detail is paying off. We found that the basics of Halo Wars take about 30 seconds to grasp, and require the use of only a few key buttons. The interface in Halo Wars feels simple and natural: the left analog stick moves the camera, a button tap will select units or buildings, and holding the A button and "painting" the crowd will select all nearby units. When you're ready to deliver a crushing offensive blow to your enemy, you can tap the Left Bumper to select all of your units at once. Easy! A simple radial menu system keeps your base-building activities simple and streamlined, allowing you to quickly queue up multiple units or structures for rapid deployment. Multi-tasking is easy too, thanks to a directional pad shortcut that will instantly jump you from the field back to your base.
We actually have enjoyed embracing the limitations of the console controller, which just means you can't have as much in the game as you can on a PC. On a PC, it's hard to resist, "Well we've got hotkeys; what's one more hotkey?" On a console controller, you can't really invent more buttons. There's only so many ways you can push a button, and we've actually been recently trying to take out some of the alternate button configurations to pare the game down even more, and get it to be something that's fast, that's quick, that gets an adrenaline kind of punch-counterpunch thing -- which suits the console market too, so getting something that you can play in 15 minutes and have a lot of fun. It's high-paced, high action right from the start.
That's an important thing that I don't think all the other console games -- or, console RTS ports -- have really nailed because they've been ports. And building something from the ground up, for the console, lets us shed some of the conventions that have gotten in the way for a couple of the last rounds of at least our games on the PC.
