List of video game genres
The moniker "real-time strategy" (RTS), usually applied only to certain computer strategy games, (however, this genre is probably the most well known of strategy games and is what most websites mean when they say "strategy games") indicates that the action in the game is continuous, and players will have to make their decisions and actions within the backdrop of a constantly changing game state. Real-time strategy gameplay is characterised by obtaining resources, building bases, researching technologies and producing units. Blizzard Entertainment's "Starcraft" is a popular RTS played competitively in South Korea and televised to large audiences. Other notable games include the "Warcraft" series, "Age of Empires" series, "Dawn of War", "Command and Conquer", and "Dune II" (essentially the first RTS game). Outside PC world, very few strategy games are real-time; a few examples are "Battle for Middle-earth II", "Pikmin" and "Halo Wars". Even fewer ones use physical pieces, but at least "Icehouse" is an example of such.
