"Real-time-strategy isn't exactly the largest, most well rounded genre on the 360, and while we have seen Lord of the Rings and C&C3 do relatively well on console, there still isn't any kind of breakout hit. While the appropriateness of RTS to consoles is debatable (as is the likelihood of there ever being a breakout hit) the games that choose to go that route are nevertheless getting better. World in Conflict: Soviet Assault will be the next big real-time-strategy release on 360 and it improves on the console-specific tweaks made to past console RTS games.
First and foremost, the game's camera is not controlled like a typical RTS, where the angle is set, and the camera only zooms in or out. The camera is controlled exactly like a first-person-shooter, meaning that the player can aim the camera parallel to the ground if they so wish. It also means that any players who are coming from console FPS play will be able to feel at home much faster than they otherwise might..."
World in Conflict is a Cold War based RTS game that came out in 2007 on the PC. Is it worth a replay today?
Starting today (18.00 hours) until 23 December, players will download free World in Conflict (including expander Soviet Assault), Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs for PC via Uplay. More ...
I've collected quite a number of free games on UPlay. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of its bloated platform, but they have been pretty generous w freebies if you've kept up with their mailing list over time.
In case you missed Ubisoft’s free giveaways, the French company is once again offering Watch_Dogs, World in Conflict & Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag for free for a limited time. These three titles are free on UPLAY right now. From today and until December 23rd, you can log into UPLAY and claim your free copies.
There is a reason I support this company. This is just icing. New IPs, not afraid to take a chance... Nicely done.
