As I said taste is subjective. I will agree that I am a bit PC centric. I like western RPGs, I like shooters, I like RTS. I also liked space sims before they were consoleyfied. So for me this generation is head and shoulders ahead of the last one. Essentially because western ex-PC developers like Epic, Bioware, Valve have now fully entered the console world. Of the top PS2 games, most games by western devs are already there again(Highly improved) and new once were added, japanese developers are still lacking but that's no problem for me, I am no fan of endless cutscenes.

Oh and regarding graphics: There are some genres that simply benefit hugely from it. This includes all genres that depend on lots of small details on screen. You couldn't do an RTS on 640*480 for example. This would simply be unplayable. And I would like to meet someone who plays Forza or GT5P and returns to his pixelated world of the PS2.

 

What resolution was Warcraft?  It couldn't have been more than 800x600 max and that game did perfectly fine.  While I don't think Halo Wars will be a hit, it should show perfectly fine that you can do an RTS on a standard TV.
