The big strategy debate
STRATEGY games have really always been the domain of the PC, but in the last decade or so, we’ve seen more and more of them coming to consoles. Defining what strategy games are isn’t as clear-cut as you may expect. They don’t just encompass real-time games such as Command & Conquer or turn-based games such as Civilization or Wasteland. No: strategy games can be everything, from a Tomb Raider puzzling level to games such as Hitman, or even Portal and The Escapists. Every game has an element of strategy, but it’s the real-time (RTS) and turn-based (TBS) ones we’re looking at specifically in this instance.
