Very appropriate that a mainstream evolution of traditional RTS tropes wins a mainsteam award. What else was going to win, Halo Wars?
Maybe DoWII was deserving.
Other nominations:
Sims 3
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
I’m trying to slug my way through this, but I can’t get past the terrible action game at the beginning. I feel like I was bait and switched – I was sold a world class RTS, but instead I have to play this awful hack and slash? For shame!
I really want someone to make a youtube video of themselves playing Brutal Legend with a rock band guitar…
Hmm, I guess I totally could not get what this game was about but it didnt seem like a strategy game at all
