Two games I'm looking forward to this year: an FPS (Tiberium) based on an RTS franchise (Command & Conquer) and an RTS (Halo Wars)  based on a FPS franchise (Halo). Halo Wars has been looking pretty good in recent gameplay footage, but in my mind always had the disadvantage of being a console game.

Console RTS games can occasionally be adequate compared to their PC counterparts, but are rarely as good or better. Halo Wars has always been treated as an Xbox 360 exclusive, but we'd always hoped it'd make its way to the PC with keyboard/mouse control.

Gaming site The Angry Pixel is carrying the rumor that our wild guesses are accurate. Microsoft wants to expand their Games For Windows... concept, and a game like Halo Wars is a sure bet for that.

Like most "news" in this industry, this is just a rumor. Like most "rumors" in this industry, it's probably true.
