Universe at War: Earth Assault (Review)

Dec 12, 2007

Dec 12, 2007 We're not alone in the universe... in fact, it's getting kind of crowded in here. In Universe at War: Earth Assault, a hokey science fiction storyline has Earth invaded by not one, not two, but three alien races intent on settling their ancient interstellar war once and for all.

Universe at War: Earth Assault - field guide (Preview)

Nov 20, 2007

Nov 20, 2007 Sadly, in most real-time strategy games, the differences between the various factions are largely skin deep. Oh, one might be better at mining resources and the other might have a defensive boost; but by and large, each side fights quite similarly. Not so in Universe at War: Earth Assault. Here, you've got three sides that are completely different from one another. One is all about building giant spider tanks instead of a traditional base, another can create hordes of small-scale ...
