Regardless of the genre’s love affair with the PC, the decades have been kind to the genre, offering gamers with everything from ultra-competitive titles like Starcraft to more toned-down real-time strategy games like Gene Wars (which isn’t on this list, because it kind of sucked) and even casual titles like The Baldies and Nintendo’s Pikmin series of games. The games belong to the domain of PC gamers, giving the PC platform an edge against their counterparts well beyond just having better superior hardware. Since the mid-90s, real-time strategy games have become a video game staple, particularly on the PC due to the mouse and keyboard controls which allow players to point at units, drag their mouse across the screen, and select the armies they’ll use to attack other units. #5 Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty + Heart of the Swarm.#32 Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun – Aiko’s Choice.
