If you thought gaming in 2008 was swell, do we have a treat for you. Starting today we're going to bombard you with extensive coverage of all the games releasing in 2009 divided by genre for your viewing pleasure. Kicking off the festivities today is the Real Time Strategy (RTS) genre followed by RPGs, Shooters, Racers and so on so sit back, relax and enjoy the show. The real-time strategy genre didn't see too much action in 2008, with Red Alert 3 standing out starkly amongst a puddle of lackluster titles. 2009 on the other hand looks rather promising, with RTS offerings that are sure to bring out the warmonger in every last one of you. Here's a look at what you can expect this year: Platform: Xbox360 Release Date: Feb 2009 Based in the Halo universe that served as a platform for three system sellers for the Xbox (and Xbox 360), Halo Wars takes the franchise in a new direction - the real time strategy way. The game's focus will not be the one man army - the Master Chief this time; in fact, the game will take place 20 years before the the events of the first Halo game 'Halo: Combat Evolved', and will pit players in a battle between the covenant and the United Nations Space Command. While Halo Wars is a strategy game at heart, the focus is still on action but from a perspective most Halo fans aren't used to. What makes the game unique is that rather than focusing on setting up economies, hoarding resources and building your base, Halo Wars will focus more on combat and actually controlling your units on the battlefield.
