Microsoft seems ready to commit to its past as it continued reviving old franchises during Gamescom 2015 Aug. 4.
After presenters gave plenty of space to a new Forza game, a new Rainbow Six game and a new Crackdown game at the Xbox One press conference, Xbox head Phil Spencer gave a 'one more thing' to the audience in the form of announcing a sequel to 2009's Halo Wars.
If you don't remember Halo Wars, we'll forgive you. It was an odd duck of a real-time strategy game, a la StarCraft or Age of Empires. In fact, the original game was developed by Ensemble Studios, creator of the Age of Empires series.
The original Halo Wars was a cult fan favorite and remains highly regarded in certain circles, though it never reached the sales numbers of traditional FPS Halo games.
Ensemble will not develop this sequel, instead it's being handled by 343 Industries, who took over the Halo franchise after creator studio Bungie ended their exclusivity deal with Microsoft, and British game devleloper Creative Assembly, responsible for the very many Total War games.

Life goes, it's as simple as that, the slow march of time is one that none of us can avoid. Inevitably we all end up hanging on to that moment or two (or five or ten) that really left a sweet taste in our mouth. That moment when everything was just as it was meant to be and worry or doubt were laid to rest for a time.
As gamers, there inevitably are games that hit at the right time and place in our life where we can truly enjoy them to their fullest. What are yours?
