Ever since early attempts like Starcraft for the Nintendo 64, it's been clear that the transition wouldn't be easy. Most, if not all RTS games for consoles have suffered from the overwhelming feeling that despite their designer's best efforts, it'd just be easier to whip out a keyboard and mouse. Because of this, we've seen a relative dearth of the RTS genre for consoles, and it's one of those generally agreed upon rules of gaming that the RTS should stay on the PC.
Recently, and probably influenced by the Nintendo Wii's new control system, we've seen genres, such as the point-and-click adventure game, come back to the home console with renewed verve and implementation. Universe at War: Earth Assault for the Xbox 360 comes at a time when gamers are open to fresh ideas about the types of games they can play. And it asks the question: 'Can the RTS work on a console?'"
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.

Direct2Drive has slashed 75% off of SEGA's Universe at War: Earth Assault, taking the title down to just $5.

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.
