What's wrong with Halo Wars? For a console RTS, it's definitely one of the better ones. I know that's not saying much but I love it and I also play SC2 (so do other Halo Wars players)

I don't see why this wouldn't be included into a Top 25. I guess if you want 85% shooters that's cool..

Just because a game isn't bad for it's genre doesn't mean it should be in the 360 top 25. That should be fairly obvious.

Does anyone actually ever agree/trust/listen to/care about IGN? They have gone to hell lately.

Its their top 25 games.

I'm not trying to defend IGN or Halo Wars (which I've never played) but lists such as this are subjective.

You may not think its great but clearly they enjoyed it.

Pretty sure halo wars is the best RTS and it's not that bad of a game.

Also it's THEIR list, not yours.

I can understand why they'd put it on, they want a list with a range of different games from different genres. Even so, it's probably the worst game on the list so far, yet it's quite far from the bottom of the list.

I think halo wars is one of the worst console rts' right below C&C 3 Kanes Wrath, C&C 3, red alert 3, and Battle for Middle Earth. I just didn't like the squad management because there basically wasn't one. I know console rts controls suck but they were some of the worst IMO.

Bickering over lists gets old. No one ever agrees on a list. I have never played Halo Wars but from what I have read about it, it is the most functionalRTS on the 360. If that is true is probably deserves a place on the top 25 list, though where it places on the list is a matter of opinion.

Hey guys, let's bash them for having an opinion!

Seriously, it's THEIR list. They could have Yaris, Fusion Frenzy and Hour of Victory at the top of that list and they wouldn't be wrong.

So what other titles are worthy. I'd love to nitpick your list apart..

WAT? GOOD GAEMS IN A TOP 25? MALARKEEEEEEE!!!!

That about hits the nail right on the head :)

Halo Wars is a great game for the 360. When you get together with a good team and have good opponents, the wars you can create are epic. Stragegy at its finest.

I dislike any game in the RTS genre, thus i never played halo wars so i can not comment on it.

I can tell you even if I had it would not be in my personal top 30 list.

I think Halo Wars just got on that list because it's part of the Halo franchise. I know that's stating the blatantly obvious but there you go.

It doesn't matter if you didn't like an RTS before. How do you know Halo Wars wouldn't surprise you? Oh right, you don't.

You can't comment on it, yet you did anyway.

these types of lists will never satisfy everyone. If you put up a list people will dispute them as well.

Whats the point of even looking at a top games lists if all you're going to do is complain about how it's not exactly as how you'd make it? Personally I enjoyed Halo Wars. Great game. Regardless it's IGN's list, they can put any game they want in there.

The fact that they put Halo Wars higher than the first Gears of War is just... inconceivable.

The problem with Halo Wars wasn't that it was a bad game, its just a very SIMPLE game. Compared to other RTS's it's quite lacking. But since its basically the only RTS on consoles and since its Halo (OMG HALO MASTERCHIEF AHHHH!!!) people bought it. It is not #16 on a list of the best xbox 360 games.
