No, there isn't. Consoles aren't meant to have strategy games played on them...


looks at the Romance of the Three kingdoms series, the PTO series, liberty or death, etc etc etc....

ORIGINAL: Deride

The biggest problem? Budget...

Developing for XBox requires a developer to sign a license with Microsoft and spend a good amount of money just to get the developer kits, etc. Additionally, getting Microsoft to agree on the licnese typically requires that at least 3 big box retailers would carry the game (e.g., BestBuy, CompUSA, Walmart, EB Games, etc.)

Wargames tend to not have enough broad appeal to sustain any type of investment of that size. So, you aren't likely to find it.

Deride

as has been alluded to there is XBL Arcade, and there is also a creator's club that has membership for lower prices for both developers and those interested in the games....

The company will do as it will, but I would *love* to see better strategy games for the 360.
