More RTS For the Xbox Please

I'm a huge fan of RTS games, but the problem is that I work on a PC all day long and don't especially want to come home and play on one too. So I have a 360 because they're a fantastic powerful console with amazing games and graphics.

I LOVE RTS (real time strateg) games. There's something really exciting about building up a base, managing a huge army, and then wiping out your opponent from the face of the earth. And the Xbox has had some pretty amazing strategy games for it. The best ones I've played are, in order of preference:

1) Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

2) Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath

3) The Battle For Middle Earth 2

These games seriously kick ass. I mean I've played them through a number of times, on the hardest settings. It's a lot of fun because each play through is totally different. But I wish there were mode RTS games for the 360 that were at this level.

I was really disappointed with Command & Conquer: Red Alert. It really isn't in the same league as the above games. The weapons, structures and vehicles feel very weak and the soundtrack and graphics are pretty dire by today's standards. And the other RTS games that have come out have been pretty lame.

I got Civilization Revolutions and traded it in. It was so dumbed down it was unbelievable.

The Xbox 360 does an AMAZING job at running RTS games. And the joypad has easily been adapted to do nearly as good job as the PC mouse. But we really need some more serious RTS games. I'd like to see something more advanced and less combat focused too - where you have to build up a civilisation or something.

Hopefully there'll be a new C&C game proper out soon.
