Real Time Strategy (RTS) games are common on the PC but far less popular on the consoles. Historical takes on the genre even less so. So for me that makes Great Battles Medieval - available on PS3 and Xbox 360 - something worth mentioning. Will it displace Halo and FIFA in the top 10? Not a chance but my brief play suggests the game is a decent stab at something different on the consoles. More thoughts soon but in the meantime here is an interview with the game's developer Slitherine.

What do you think then? Can an historical RTS work on a console? And can it find an audience amongst Halo and FIFA fans?
