Go through the tutorials for sure. The shot mechanics are completely different to every other tennis game I've played before, and it takes some getting used to. The lessons are invaluable

Have got back into COD4 now which is fun. Have also managed to get my xbox to share my internet connection with my mac so I don't have to have wires running everywhere \o/

How civilised I just watched the trailer for Endwar and its got potential. I'm still not sold on the idea of console based strategy. While I feel that console based fps games are now fine and will beat anyone to death who says "Joypad? LOL Need mouse." I can't get on with strategy without the mouse. The idea of voice comms sounds interesting though, but again, will it get it right? I remember Rainbow 6 had it and was fun when it worked and fustrating when it didn't.

It's definitely going to come to the control system. Hopefully they'll get it right. I'd say it's certainly possible as Civ Revolutions works well with a joypad (although it is dumbed down a bit) and all the Football Manager games I've played have managed it too.

I hope they do. I really want Halo Wars to be brilliant and as comfortable to play as Halo was. I can lose a day to a good strategy game, the same skirmish too. I think I'm going to have to find a copy of AOE for OSX now. Damn it
