Halo Wars, The Xbox 360 only RTS...

Ensemble Studios (Creator of the Age of empires series including Age of Mythology) & Microsoft are going to release the new game in the Halo franchise "Halo Wars" in February 2009. Halo Wars is basically an RTS (Real Time Strategy) where you take control of the UNSC. But come on! It's an RTS How is that going to work on the Xbox 360? I mean it won't be bad, I have seen the gameplay videos and it seems as though they have done a good job making Halo Wars work well with the X360 controller. But how can Microsoft make an RTS Xbox 360 exclusive when the Real Time Strategy's native platform is PC? You can't beat the keyboard & mouse combo for RTS gaming especially with a controller. Even if they only put it out for Windows Vista (I personally still use Windows XP because I dislike Vista) it would still be better than making it 360 only. What will probably happen is like what happened with halo 1 & 2 it will be released as a PC game 6 months later and unfourtunetly by that time the game is "old" and there is a better one on the shelves. I really wan't this game to come out for PC (it would probably incline me to dual boot XP/Linux/Vista) because it is a really well done RTS and the graphics are great and so is the story. Have a look at some of the screenies below thanks to IGN.

The graphics are nice the gameplay should be good (knowing Ensemble Studios record of creating fun RTS's) all it needs now it to be available on PC!
