The revival of the Alone in the Dark series promises great things - "Immersive presentation, multiple gameplay aspects, breathtaking cinematics that blend seamlessly with the gameplay".

RTS games are almost as old as the beige box itself, so most new games in the genre wisely tend to offer little in the way of blazing innovation. Petroglyph have followed suit with Universe at War: Earth Assault but they've stuffed a few trick cards up their sleeves. Not least is the fact that humans no longer save the day!
