If its anything like in the beta I would recommend you stay far far FAR away from any sort of multiplayer gaming on this game. At least if you don't want massive crashing. Anywhoo.. lets just hope since the time I dropped this turd in place of crysis and going back to some regular old CnC3 or Age of Empires or even Empire Earth that they fixed up all the problems it had saaaay 3 weeks ago.

That's why a beta is called a beta and not a demo.

For a more accurate representation of the game's stability, I'd suggest trying out the demo (although granted, there's no multiplayer in the demo). You'll find a bunch of mirrors here:

And for modders, the UAW scene (which we'll be supporting wholeheartedly) is already starting to bloom, using the released demo:

Ugh. Bad week. Good thing I rented Super Mario Galaxy!

Oh, and for the record, I'm pretty sure it's "pique"

Pique is correct.

Universe at War has had a demo out for a couple weeks now, to those who are interested.

It's a deep strategy RTS from a very well respected developer, so I'm keeping positive about its potential. Unfortunately, it's also saddled with the whole Games for Windows Live mess, and it's the first third-party title to offer cross platform play with the 360.

All that adds up to almost certain multiplayer growing pains. The good news is that such problems can be fixed over time, as long as the core gameplay is solid. The bad news is that people may not give it a chance to do so.

Regardless, if you're into just the single player experience (as supposedly most players are), this should be a great game.

Actually, I'm not sure Universe at War is even releasing this week. Gamestop/EB's site claims it does, but Amazon is saying Dec. 10th. Amazon has a better track record with release dates, in my experience.

Bad week, unless you think Universe at War is good.

I guess the DBZ fans will have their day on the Wii, but that's about it.

Oh and for the cost of a REAL Jenga set you can buy a Wii version! wewt!

I beg to differ. The only good RTS games out there are Command and Conquer and Starcraft. Both for the PC of course. Warcraft II is pretty good too.

This one is hoping that Starcraft II is as good or even better than the first one, and it retains that epic Bliz-type story that has made all of its games famous. The only thing I don't want to happen is that it ends like WCIII.

Starcraft and Command and Conquer are great, but last year I discovered Homeworld 2, which is pretty much the game I've always wanted. Dawn of War and Company of Heroes are also great RTS's that don't focues on resources and dimplomacy, rather tactics and combat. As much as this game looks interesting, with distinct factions and everything, I don't have very high hopes for it after I got all excited for Maelstorm and that Star Wars RTS that let me down.

Quick question, has there been any story mode in a card game worth playing? I mean, I'm doing Cardfighters DS right now and this seems like the high end of this kind of tripe.

I'll plump fo DBZ for various reasons, although the main one is simply that it is online.

Somehow shots of "Universe at War" reminded me of good ol' "Total Anihilation". What'a game that was...

eh, weak week. only thing noteworthy for me is DBZ:BT3 on Wii but i really didnt like the second one on Wii. im a big DBZ:Budokai fan but i thought the motion controls on the last one were a little clunky and unorthodox. oh well, finals are coming up so i dont really have much gaming time anyway.
