With Starcraft 2 out of reach, RTS gamers will have to find alternatives for their fix. Enter Universe at War: Three unique sides, created by Petroglyph Studios (some ex-Westwood employees … Read more

Universe at War: Earth Assault will most likely make you remember the days when you were playing Starcraft. Still, it's better than Starcraft. The races are so varied and flexible that the game is highly replayable and each time you could try another tactic. Which is really good for a RTS game. Unfortunately, the flaws the campaign comes with, as well as the story that brings nothing new for the genre, might not be something the hardcore RTS fans will appreciate. Read more

Universe at War: Earth Assault is, to be brief, a very good real-time strategy game you should try out, if nothing else. Once again, the gents and ladies at Petroglyph haven't disappointed. However, there's still nothing groundbreaking to be had here and due to the aforementioned slip ups, the game failed to achieve its full potential. But it comes very close. Read more
- Solid single-player campaign, customizable units and fun resource gathering makes it more enjoyable than other strategies, visuals, sound effects, voiceovers;
- AI problems and pathfinding problems (the patch resolves neither), best aspects of the multiplayer restricted to Live Gold members (major bummer).

You can compare with a rough diamond. While it has several beautiful features like three races, innovating gameplay and cross-over multiplayer, it sadly also has some negative points. The Windows Live service is a bit of trial and error and the interface is too empty for an RTS game on PC. But if you can ignore these negative points, you can expect a more than decent RTS experience. Read more

In this reviewer’s humble opinion Order of Ecclesia is the best Castlevania title yet. As much as I still love Symphony of the Night , it is not as beautiful, as well-designed, nor as -fun- as Ecclesia is. The design caters to fans of the old-school, action-based titles, while still offering up what new series fans want. To put it very simply - If you have a DS, this game belongs in your collection.
