With Halo Wars I'm doing my best on explaing how the mission is done (although, as you say, most tactics are the same - build huge army, demolish the map).  However, the campaign mode on HW has some intriguing challenges as missions to vary the pace, which is why I thought to write a walkthrough.

I may do a few achievement guides (not a list of achievements and how they unlcok, but a guide to unlocking them, with hints, tips and strategies. 

I also think you have the right idea with choosing older games.  There are so many people in the world that still like retro, so if we provide the cheats and walkthroughs for those games, freeola are more likely to capture that niche in the market (I like writing for the Amiga and PS1).

no. But it certainly would be wise just to cover your back if something doesn't go right. After all, the reason i don't write that many reviews is purely because the tactics are subjective and generally too obvious or vague. Especially when it comes to rts games or first person shooters the tactics are usually the same:


"Continue to run circles around (mega boss alpha) repeatedly spamming rockets in his face whilst dodging the poo poo mines he lobs from his ear. After 10 hits he dies"



Its why i mostly offer hint guides to games or guides where its more definite. Like older GBA games.

i use to write walkthroughs to win, but they took so long sometimes months at a time. I could write one for l4d as i accumalate most of my experience, tips and hacks in the game to win.

But that said i'm still a bit rubbish and half of the tactics are still open to debate. Yeah you could stand there and hold out, but its not 100% fool proof.


I should write a disclaimer.

I'm really hoping, after 2 weeks of cheats, that a review wins.

Obviously, I hope it's mine!  I really need a GAD, but any review would be good.

Good luck Chris, I'll hold my walkthrough submission until next week!

^{*was actually hoping to win on some cheats...}
