I always felt that the Empire at War games were hampered in part by need to fit into the Star Wars mythos. But now that Petroglyph is free from the shackles of Lucasland, they have created a real-time strategy game based on an original setting. And by original, I mean it feels a lot like Starcraft.
Ok, that's not really fair. While Universe at War does contain some very familiar trapping (sci-fi setting, three unique factions, and a narrative told through talking heads in little boxes on the screen). There's a lot of really interesting stuff going on here.
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.
It is prudent to note, and may have been worthwhile to include, but this game will be coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 Console.

Perhaps it should have been included as a channel.
