On the one hand you appreciate a complex strategy game on your 360, but on the other you miss the precision of controls that traditionally only a mouse and keyboard can deliver. Gamers can be assured though, that with Petroglyph Studios (containing many Westwood Studio developers at the helm) they are in capable hands.
Universe at War takes place in a futuristic world with three factions: the Heirachy, the Novus and the Masari. The Heirachy have arrived from outer space in massive numbers to invade Earth with the goal of stripping the planet of resources and destroying all life currently inhabiting it. Their shear numbers overwhelm the planet's defences and just when all hope seems lost. a mysterious portal opens up and the forces of Novus emerge."
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.
