Arbiter 1337: Rotaretilbo: Probably because people can't believe that a game like Halo Wars, which was an ok game if you ignore the disregard to the Halo story, got ranked 12th best Xbox 360 game ever. That Halo Wars would be ranked above Left 4 Dead, Rock Band 2, Modern Warfare 2, and all of the other games listed, is simply ridiculous. I mean, congrats to Robot Studios, but even they should realize that no one that actually knows a thing about gaming will take the list seriously.
Perhaps it is because there is only a very very small group of people that actually care what year Spartans had shields, and the year HW was set. As crazy as this sounds, perhaps the reviewers judged the game on fun, entertainment and game play, not how savy the devs where with the Halo Universe.
They don't have shields, they have a regenerative health bar.
