As promised, a downloadable demo for Ensemble Studio's console strategy game Halo Wars is now available from the Xbox 360's online Xbox Live Marketplace.

The demo packs two optional tutorials, the game's first two campaign missions, and a skirmish map that lets players face off against the computer as the Covenant or UNSC.

The full version of Halo Wars, the final game out of the now-closed Age of Empires series developer Ensemble, arrives at North American retailers come March 3.

I played a little after work and it is indeed fun. Of course this is coming from a guy that appreciated but could never get into RTS games prior to this, so take that as you will.

You should put this fancy link in your story, you can add it to your download queue from the web so it starts downloading as soon as you get home from work and fire up your xbox :)
