PC is the home of strategy gaming. Yeah, the consoles and handhelds get their share of them from time to time. Advance Wars, Pikmin, Goblin Commander… but there's no comparing the depth of field on the consoles to the PC. We are king here and will remain so for some time. Strides have been made to bring more strategy to the consoles, but if you simply look at the number of titles released in the strategy genre every year, you'll see the huge difference.

Out of all of the strategy games released, a large portion are of the real-time variety simply meaning that battles are fought out in real-time, prompting players to react quickly to tricky tactical situations. There have been a lot of them over the lifetime of PC games starting in the early '90s arguably with Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty. More than a decade later, the genre is going strong.

This year we have a large crop of RTS games waiting on the horizon. In this list, you'll find a good many of them. Some of them are destined to be hits while others will undoubtedly slip into obscurity. Either way, you can get a good idea of what to expect from the RTS genre in 2006 from this list. There are likely to be some new announcements during the year about new products and probably even some delay news for some of these games, but it's a good jumping off point. Hike up those combat boots, it's time to start a war.
