Change is sweeping the world, and Total War developer Creative Assembly is getting in on the ground floor. Not content with a new American president, CA is now tackling one of the more pressing issues of our times: getting RTS games to control well on consoles.

To see whether Creative is pulling it off with its "Whip Select" scheme in Stormrise, check out the following walkthrough trailer, narrated by the obligatory accented female computer voice.

Stormrise is expected to arrive on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March 2009.

    Ensemble and the EndWar devs at Ubisoft definitely laid some groundwork for others to follow.

      I just wish that in some universe, Starcraft is both on PC and consoles, and there can be multiplayer interplay between the two.

      Just so that console-only people know what it's like to be raped by Korean pro gamers screaming "kekeke!!!!"...

      I haven't had a chance to try the Halo Wars demo yet. How is it?

        I like it a lot, it might be the first RTS I buy. For some reason it is hard for me to get into them, but this is easier and I have probably done like 20-30 skirmishes in the demo already.
