Universe at War for Xbox 360

Guys, I just received my copy of the game and played it on Friday evening. The game turns out pretty cool on the Xbox 360. I like the control scheme because its well thought out. That is the biggest challenge for a RTS game to work in console. One negative point for UaW is that the game suffer from some frame rate issue. Other than that, it was really addictive and fun. I know the demo is coming out soon, so make sure to at least try that, or just Buy it!

Imo, this game is so much better compare with C&C for the 360. I am curious to see how Supreme Commander and World in Conflict work out for the console. And my wishlist: Starcraft 2 for the 360, pleeeaaaassseeee! It is looking so good.

The reason I want this is, I am so fed up of upgrading my PC just to play every new game that comes out. Its way much cheaper to just play it on console, plus you get the maximum graphics settings! I don't mind it doesn't look as good as Crysis. Thats a small sacrifice since the power of 360 or PS3 hasn't been fully utilized yet.

Cool Art Books

My fellow 3D Artist colleague Erik Maki just sent me a link to this awesome bookstore Brand Studio Press. I am embarrassed to not discover this earlier! They have art books from so many great artists like Cheeks and more. Most of them are ranged from stylized to cartoony styles. If you like these, I also recommend French artists like Claire Wendling, Frezzato and Barbucci. You may have to order these directly from France-I had to after much googling and translating. They are fantastic!

I am going broke from ordering these!
