With all gamers surging to the stores to pick up their prized copy of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, lets not forget another Tom Clancy title in the works: Endwar. I recall many thinking Endwar would be the original Rainbow Six Vegas' sequel at first, but it is a game all it's own. The first gameplay video is making its rouds around the net now and can be viewed

Endwar is a step in a completely different direction for those old time Tom Clancy fans. Radically different than any other Tom Clancy game in recent memory, Endwar is a Real-Time-Strategy game, similar to Command & Conquer in gameplay. It seems that this approach may put off a lot of longtime fans of the series, but also garner many new faces. Its nice to see Ubisoft trying something different and switching it up.
Seeing the video, it looks awesome and my interest has definitley been raised a notch or two. I'm a fan of the old-time Command & Conquer RTSs, and its nice to see a resurgence of RTS with HaloWars and Endwar. Only time will tell if Ubisoft can perfect the Real-Time-Strategy game with a controller instead of the traditional and much easier keyboard and mouse setup, but I'm definitley happy to see them try!
