Universe at War: Earth Assault is a by the numbers RTS, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. Technical issues aside (such as frequent dips in framerate), the three unique factions battling for control over the earth, as well as a host of play modes, provides for a compelling experience. Most noticeable is the Conquer the World mode, which allows you to take over the world against friends on Xbox Live. Its control scheme is admirable, and while not technically impressive, there is plenty of content to warrant a purchase if you can see past its flaws.
