From the Miller brothers, famous for working on the Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo games, comes Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde. Said to be "an innovative action-strategy" game.
Taking control of, surprisingly, Goblins, you save your planet of Ogriss by utilizing an army of specialised warriors. Jaleco seem confident in Goblin's innovations...
"The Goblin Commander IP will mark a revolutionary step forward in console gaming," said Jaleco Entertainment President Richard Wnuk. "Before each mission, players are able to choose a unique clan type, each with their own combat specialties. This adds a whole new dimension to the strategy gameplay experience, providing a compelling new challenge to each mission - all with excellent replayability. We are confident that fans will find Goblin Commander to be the best action-strategy game on consoles to date."
Strategy games don't have a great record on consoles, so why will Goblin be different? They apparently have that covered too, with an "easy-to-master control scheme designed specifically for console game pads", nice to hear it.
