Slim pickings on the release schedule this week, with Cooking Mama on the Wii and Command & Conquer 3: Tiberum Wars (360) the "highlights". Actually the former could be quite amusing, especially if it matches the irreverence of the DS version. I'm not sure about Command & Conquer though and not just because Real Time Strategy (RTS) is the most tediously conservative game genre there is, bar beat-em ups of course. No, the main issue is format. RTS games should be played PC only - although turn-based strat like Advance Wars on Game Boy/DS is worth a try off PC - with mouse/keyboard essential. Trying to manipulate your virtual armies with a pad is an exercise in frustration - anyone who struggled through Lord of the Rings Battle of Middle Earth 2 on 360 will know what I mean. Plus you need an HDTV to be able to actually see what is going on. Maybe C&C3 will buck the RTS-on-consoles-being-a-bit-rubbish trend, but I doubt it. We'll see. Anyway, what are you playing this weekend?
