reading reviews that constantly compare console RTS games to their PC counterparts?  No matter how good or bad a console RTS is, it's review will always appear to suffer from the never abandoned PC comparison.  We get it-- the console controller is not as good as the PC.

I've enjoyed Kane's Wrath on the Xbox360 a lot.  The other thing I've noticed is that the controls for this game seem to do a lot of the things that Halo Wars continues to claim they are inventing.  Their control scheme seems to be ripping a lot off of this game.

Civilization Revolution controls well enough also (not RTS, but it garners the same complaints).  My complaints for it aren't control-related though.  I don't really enjoy modern RTS games anyways; I'm more of an old-school RTS fan.

I agree though.  A game should be viewed for what it is, where it is.  Not what it could be, somewhere else.
