A bit more on Rock Of Ages

after using the 360 pad and the keyboard, I'd say use a control pad. The mouse sensitivity needs too much fine-tuning and the control pad's unit deployment stuff works better on a radial menu.

that said, this is a wonderful game. The premise is that you're Sisyphus in Hades, and you're sick of rolling the boulder up the hill. So you and some friends use it to break out, and end up in Troy where you get to roll boulders against Agamemmnon, and then off to Sparta, and onwards through the medival art period where you face off against charlemagne or whatever his name is, then into renaissance, etc

It's a cross between tower defense and marble madness, really. And some heavy Monty Python undertones. So much fun.
