Universe at War: Earth Assault, the upcoming SEGA published and Petroglyph Games developed title, is yet another real-time strategy game being shoehorned into a console control scheme. The difference between UaW:EA and other console-ported RTS titles is the inclusion of cross-platform play with the, already released, PC version -- a first for a third-party publisher. While on the surface UaW:EA seems complex, the Starcraft-esque three-different factions system, showcases the title's simplicity and accessibility.
The three factions, the Novus, Hierarchy and Masari are completely different in almost every respect and should make re-playability (other than online modes) one of the strongest bullet-points on the retail package. While we're a fan of the PC version, we wonder how the Xbox 360 version will control and what the balance will be when the PC crowd goes head-to-head with the Xbox 360 crowd.
Universe at War: Earth Assault is set to his retail on March 25, 2008 for the Xbox 360. Above is the trailer for the Novus faction, Hierarchy and Masari trailers await you after the jump.

That did absolutely nothing for me.
When does Halo Wars come out?

Having played UaW on the PC for a little bit I can tell you that the game is really fun.
But if you're looking for a good RTS experience and are waiting out for Halo Wars... good luck with that.

Haha Xav finally someone agrees with me, I really have no idea why people seem to think that Halo Wars is going to be a great game. They've shown nothing compelling or interesting yet its one of this years most anticipated titles.
Ah well what can I do, it'll sell over a million copies in the first week no matter how shite it is.
