Does anybody know any good sites where game genres are defined? I'm looking specifically for a definition of RTS. Wikipedia and bob's homepage returned by Google won't really do. This is dissertation quality research I'm after, so it really needs to be from a reputable website (a decent gaming site that is generally respected). Any ideas?

Thanks mate. You've just linked me to my fall back option I found earlier. I think I might be hoping for too much to expect there to be a professional respected gaming site with a nice page dedicated to "The definition of the RTS genre".

Cheers for that. I'm starting to think that'll be my best option.
