Don't be confused by the influx of real-time strategy games showing up on consoles this year. Keep in mind, only two, maybe three, seem to warrant close attention so far, one of which is the upcoming 360 port of Universe at War: Earth Assault.
At the time of the game's well-received PC release last November, 1UP knew it was heading to Xbox 360; they just had to wait to see it in action. And while 1UP have to wait a few more days until they can go hands-on with Universe at War's promised cross-platform multiplayer over LIVE (expect a preview on that next week), they recently played through a large chunk of the campaign mode. The 360 version doesn't seem to have any noticeable differences from the PC game, save for the tutorials and the obvious major change -- its slickly implemented control scheme.
Steam currently has an amazing deal, get 75% off Universe at War: Earth Assault
But the savings are unbeatable. Just Cause2, Witcher 2, Plants Vs Zombies, Torchlight, Splinter Cell, blah, blah, blah. .. so many games I've purchased recently. It is almost like needing a fix, I am addicted to buying these discounted games! The only problem is that steam lists this game for $19.99 not $15.00
And even though I like Steam's crazy deals most of the time, you still have to sanity check Amazon.com, because they have this game for $7.23 @ the moment.

Right, like many of you (I’m sure), I can’t wait for the new Aliens Vs Predator game. I’ve really enjoyed the series and hope this new title won’t disappoint! So I’ve pre-ordered it via Steam out of laziness and habit. For some reason, they’re giving away some RTS I’ve never really paid any attention to with it. Universe at War: Earth assault. Um, well that’s nice.
