Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers

17/06/2009

Planeswalkers for XBLA is a great choice for re-living moments of nerdy nostalgia or diving into the card game for the first time. It’s certainly a hell of a lot cheaper.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge

This standalone Red Alert expansion for XBLA is fun, frustrating and funny, all at the same time.

Panzer General Allied Assault

Based on the the classic PC and board game, this strategy title is available via Xbox Live Arcade.

Military Madness: Nectaris

This 3D remake of the TurboGrafx-16 strategy classic plays like Advance Wars and is available via Xbox Live Arcade.

Supreme Commander 2

The sequel to the mech RTS is coming soon, this time published by Japanese RPG giant Square Enix.

RUSE

A real-time strategy game that aims to let you fight on two fronts: the actual battlefield and the percieved one, as you attempt to bluff and feign your way to victory.

Crystal Defenders

A pretty good tower defense game for Xbox Live Arcade, but it does little to separate itself from the pack.

Defense Grid: The Awakening

It’s a million-dollar makeover on a fat tramp, but the old boy has scrubbed up very nicely.

Battle for Atlantis

This RTS is going to PC and consoles, and hopes to take us under the sea.

Shotest Shogi - Xbox Live Arcade

9/09/2008

A very simple and enjoyable version of a Japanese equivalent to chess. Not bad, but who will you play against?

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires

26/06/2009

Despite Dynasty Warriors 6 being too similar to 5, now you get an "enhanced" version of 6 with "new" content. Yet it still feels exactly the same in this unchanging series.

Ticket To Ride - Xbox Live Arcade

6/08/2008

If you're the type that enjoyed electronic board games like Carcassonne, then this is for you, but it will still bore most non-fans.

Elements of Destruction - Xbox Live Arcade

This strategy destroyer game should have been a good Blast Corps imitator. It's a game of tag with no real point.

Stormrise

27/03/2009

The team behind the "Total War" series for the PC has built a new RTS specifically for the consoles. But for what it tries, it fails like many RTSs with console controls.

A Kingdom for Keflings - Xbox Live Arcade

19/11/2008

This god game is a bit too simple, but it's presentable enough and is the first game taking advantage of the snazzy new avatars.

Darwinia+ - Xbox Live Arcade

The quirky PC strategy game gets ported, updated and a bunch of new features for its Xbox Live Arcade debut.

Zoids Assault

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

An expansion to the popular strategy game that imagined if the Cold War got hot, this time played from the USSR side.

Age of Booty - Xbox Live Arcade

A casual real-time strategy game in which you take control of a pirate ship and battle other players for towns and resources. Keyword: PIRATES. Kinda boring visuals and a bit pricey but it's unique amongst XBLA titles and is fun with friends.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Stop a desperate time-traveling Soviet Union in the return of this popular RTS series. The very funny and inventive Red Alert 3 unfortunately is hindered by the usual control issues that plague all console RTS conversions.
