An interesting blog to make the point about engines....

its a strat, just not real time, i bundle most if not all strategy games together

*Edit*

i mean they share a lot of simliarities between them, they are both war games, just one is turn based with a lot more options for victory.

Also just to note i\'ve never played two games of starcraft the same, sure the engine doesnt leave a lot of options for moding nor does the game have the same depth as a TA battle, but it makes up in sheer adrenalin, i always found TA games slow and boring, were as with starcraft i never found time to even consider the game because i was too emerced in trying to get my troops through battle

and yes reno, gameplay > shineyness
