Game: Battle Alert

The casual market is so crammed with strategy games these days that the excitement surrounding a new release seems on par with switching out rolls of paper towels. Almost without fail, we can guess that the newest contender will have us stockpiling resources or tinkering with command centers to train new units, but occasionally a game comes along with enough innovation to recapture those first moments with Starcraft long ago. Battle Alert, alas, isn't one of those games.
