I find the lack of Battlezone, any Total war game, and the inclsuion fo Brutal Legend quite disturbing.

I would have thought Brutal Legend would be fairly popular around here, as it's a FPS/RTS hybrid.

Seeing how well most FPS/RTS hybrids do I find it hard to understand they actually made a group called "combat/strategy". Feels as if the people made some list while never having played (modern) games themselves.

Now as this isnt actually about the games but about their art (for those that may have read past that :D), it may seem as a mute point but I think it isnt. Pure combat games are a very different form of "art" than strat games are, imo.
